No, Justin, you are mistaken. The original poster did not ‘ask if said behavior is indeed culturally exclusive to blacks’. He inquired about the reason for this perceived behavior by young black people. He has already determined that crossing in traffic is a practice exclusive to this particular group. The Real Deal’s response is an understandably exasperated one. As a frequent visitor to Y? Forum, it disturbs me to see such questions that blanket a whole group, specifically black people. Even though I realize that the purpose of this site is to give them a chance to ask these questions in a ‘safe’ environment, it still hurts that some people may actually believe these stereotypes to be true.

So I guess I should post a new question to Whites/Caucasians on the Y? Forum: Why do white people hold so many stereotypes about minorities?
