Black Stereotypes

*sigh* I feel like I have to comment on this because there have been a lot of stereotypes thrown around in my life lately. First off, black/Affrican American girls (as one, I don't really care what you call me) are not all "ratchet". Throughout middle school, people would always be surprised when I told them I was in advanced classes as if they could not believe a black girl could achieve that. Or even other black people that accused me of trying to be white just because I don't speak in ebonics or use slang. Luckily in high school the people in my classes are all open-minded plus we're a mix of different cultures. But it's just annoying having to deal with the stereotypes. Even with my parents they exist.
Anyway I am off to homework :)
