_ahem_  
I have found that I immediately dislike anyone who appears to fall into the stereotype of their racial group. This can be as simple as the way they speak, dress, or walk (but is usually more significant). If you help perpetuate the sterotypes about your race, don’t expect me to think of you as anything but that stereotype. If you demonstrate that you are, indeed, a unique human being, then I’ll judge you on your individual merits. If you have a problem with that, leave me the fuck alone.

So, are there _any_ white folks you don’t hate?

Max the Immortal, I don’t understand. Is it that stereotypes are all you are capable of seeing, or can you actually look beneath the stereotypes to find the individual?
