If you're African American, I don't blame you. Muslim Americans go through the same sense of relief when a terrorism-type crime happens and the perp is not Muslim. AAs who perpetuate the stereotypes make you cringe.
- keerthiko 13y agoI'm a somewhat dark Indian, who grew up in the Middle East (and have a passport full of Arabic text and stamps), so I am subjected to a colorful variety of stereotyping, but each to slightly lesser extents. So even though I'm not AA, yeah, seeing one of them perpetrate the stereotype really makes me have an inner battle to treat the next AA I interact with, as a respectable human being. And that's just depressing, because I'd hate to be treated like most of the negative stereotypes I could be associated with.
