That God is Afro-American? (that one's actually true ✅ same goes with Jesus... go and watch american movies if you don't believe me!)
There are some that are, but the one in question wasn't.

Either way, IMO blacks deal with stereotypes more than any other race.
Furthermore, is everyone on KMC cynical? Stereotypes are nothing but negative generalizations? Every group has their positive stereotypes.
For example, we all remember the geeks of our high schools. They were either really skinny or really fat. They were socially awkward and acne ridden. But they were straight A students, could perform under pressure, and the future CEOs of all the Fortune 500 companies.
Can any good come from stereotyping?
I believe in stereo types some what, I mean, the ideas for these things had to come from some sort of truth.
I just think that they are not ALWAYS correct like. . .
blacks like chicken, there are
SOME blacks that don't, and then again, who doesn't like chicken?
But, more than 50% of blacks do like chicken, so I guess the stereo type is like half right.

You'd be surprised how smart and non-joking I can be 😬 What's sad is that I have no doubt that if we met in real life we could be friends.

Don't listen to him... England is "stereotypically" thought of as being cold/rainy, but not all of Europe. Numskulls like him, are the reason U.K. bastards [like yourself] think Americans are retards.
