I hate the steroetype that all black people are athletic and only speak slang. I remember playing Gears of War and being totally offended by Cole Train. He's the ONLY black guy in the game, he used to play a professional sport, and because he won't speak proper English I also feel like he's the dumbest.
I'm black if you haven't already figured it out.

I am black and Cole Train was my favorite.:(
All the characters are stereotypes that was the point. Marcus was the typical rebel who went out of his way to be "hard", Baird was the "snot-nosed" punk, Hoffman was the cheesy movie style commanding officer. The only main character without a stereotype (to my knowledge) was Dom and with his wife and kids involved in geow2 he will probably show some stereotype. Lastly no one spoke proper English the closest one to do so was Dom.
Actually Dom was my favorite to play as but Cole was my favorite as a character.
Making jokes of stereotypes usually helps kill them from what I have seen.,save some jokes:x
I hate the stereotype that Republicans are Babyeating cowboy-hat-wearing warmongering redneck racists with low IQ's and no advanced education. All false, by the way.
I also hate the stereotype that everyone who joins the military as a last resort. FYI, the military is VERY picky on who they let join, you essentially can't have any major physical problems whatsoever, and most jobs in the military require a certain degree of intelligence. Being an Officer requires atleast a bachelors degree.

I am not sure the bold is true. My friend is a Marine and this summer he went to officers training and he was no degree, He is however going to get one.
