ACC25092ParticipantSorry, but those are so absurd I wonder how you could buy into them. ‘Laid-back blacks?’ You obviously never met the blue collar ones I’ve known who bust their tail at work every day. ‘More driven whites?’ Never met the many lazy white college students (but not all, I know, I know) who think showing up to class should get you an automatic A. ‘Smarter Asians?’ I know you meant this as a compliment, but many Asian immigrants have a terribly hard time learning English. I don’t think you intended to insult anyone, but it seems like you’re just taking the old racist stereotypes of lazy blacks who just love to dance and submissive geeky Asians and are trying to make them sound positive. Undoubtedly your age has a lot do with your world view, but I hope you realize when you get out in the real world that comments like these are patronizing at best. Not to mention they make no sense. Would someone who is mixed black and white be somehow both laid-back and driven at the same time? And just so you know, no respectable scientists anywhere think ‘race’ is a valid concept to predict character traits or anything else except ‘mankind’s most dangerous myth,’ to use Ashley Montague’s famous phrase.
