    Weather it's about hispanics, asians, blacks, whites, do racial stereotypes offend you?

    ^ This

    Where I live it's more funny but there are certain scenarios where it is just uncalled for and not exactly funny. As long as everyone in the room respects each other though they don't particularly bother me I find some of the things people say about me as well come to be true and that makes me laugh even more xD



    Let me tell you why that's Bullshi*

    All depends how it's done. I always make fun of my race and stuff in front of friends, but there's times where people actually treat you badly because of it. Also the internet is full of fools

    sometimes yeah.

    you know when someone makes a racial joke, but then you get that strong feeling that it wasn't meant to be just taken as a joke...

    Though a white American I grew up as a minority in my local community. However, the white stereotypes that were given to me were all positive.

    For instance, I remember one occasion a girl gave a long list of reasons why she wanted to marry me. The list included such things as having good credit, being educated, not being on welfare, and having the ability to make pretty babies. I loled.

    I get offended by people only getting offended by some.

    Either they should all offend you or none of them should.

    You can't embrace positive stereotypes while decrying the bad ones.

    They do not offend me. They merely amuse me especially when some are played out in perfection in front of my eyes.
