You can't. You can however act like a gangster or some things you see on TV. Both I won't recommend.

I'd say your Spanish friends watch too much television and have been brainwashed with stereotypes. Just be yourself. That's all you should be. It doesn't matter what color of skin you have. You don't act "black"? Completely ignorant statement. Again, be yourself and don't get locked into acting a certain way because society thinks you should based on preconceived notions.

Since when does a Mexican tell a black person how to act "black" Maybe he was just kidding about the fact that you don't act ghetto.

People should act how they really are, doesnt matter what color you areMkavanaugh77
this. Don't go smokin weed just cause your friends say "Well that's what black people do." I have Hispanic friends who think it's cool ta do that stuff but imo, they just being something they arent and from what they see on TV, they think they are acting "black" >_>

That's the best possible thing you could do. Be yourself. It's okay to evolve as you mature, but don't change your actions because peers expect you to behave a certain way based upon stereotypes. Define yourself. Don't let other do it for you. It sounds like that's already what you do.

I am sorry, but you can't act a color. Maybe your friend is stereotyping and saying that all black people are gangsta rappers, which is like saying all Jews are tightwads and Arabs are suicide bombers or part of Al-Quada, which is far from true. I know a ton of little white kids who think they are 50 cent, so no, you can't act black. You can act like you are from the ghetto, but you can't act a color of skin.

Meh, I'm sure he was just joking. I have friends of every color, and we make racist jokes to each other all the time. I'm 21 btw. People need to stop taking things so damn serious. I'm not saying dropping N bombs in the middle of Chicago, but if your friends aren't "politically correct", then who cares?

devonatorxl


Ask him is he can hurdle fences, has trouble saying things like "Thank you very much" correctly, is a hard worker, knows how to take care of a cows and harvest strawberries, andeats alot of tacos burritos and rice and beans.
(though I'm hispanic and none of these are true for me, the food type ones were very true, we did eat taco's burrito's and rice and beans on a regular basis lol.)
Hes obviously wrapped up in stereotypes though.

lol, one time we were watching a Civil War movie in school (cant remeber name :x) and a liutennant referred to a slave as a "darkie" My Mexican friend looks at me then says "HaHa, darkie" Everyone laughed :? so I then said "Hey, i may be a darkie, but at least my race got to be in the movie!" :lol: then everyone oooohed and he shut up :P (there were no Mexicans in the movie)

I've got friends of every color as well - but the black stereotype these days seems to mesh with the gangster stereotype. And when kids try to act like a gangster, they try to act like what I wrote above. Just be yourself.

I don't know how you act "black" or "gangster/gangsta". I hate those terms.

I also don't like these terms when applied to dress and clothing.

I am blak and have heard this, some people get wrappeed up in stereotypes. They think you are supposed to act a certain way because of your race. Ask your friend how black people are supposed to act, and watch him make a fool of him/her self.

Well, as messed up as it when people say acting black, it means acting the stereotype. In other words, Fubu, Rocawear, and Sean Jean gear etc..., fitted caps, materialistic personality, listen to rap, speak in slang etc... I hope I don't get modded for this. I tried to be as direct and honest as I could lol.

Look at other black people. You will see the typical behavior stereotypes soon enough. It's up to you if you want to adopt them though.
