Living Stereotypes(Opinionated, dont get mad)

You people,you guys,or those types. All of those are just cover up names.What Im writing is not just for black people its for everybody.The whole world is a living stereotype.Like every black person likes chicken and every arab ownes a convenient store and every asian knows karate or that every white boy can play golf.What if we lived our lives according to our stereotypes,What if I walked in every convenient store and expected to see an arab or if I walked to the first asian person I seen and got in a fighting stance .Would I be wrong if I did those things? No, because people abide by those stereotypes.When you see a black person alot of people assume they are from “tha ghetto”or”tha hood”.Whats funny about it is that when a white person changes their dialect to ebonics or broken english they call it”actin black”.If a black person changes their dialect to proper speech thats called”actin white”.Im a black man that like chinese food does that mean Im “actin asian”.The world is a stereotype and we all know it.
