I am sick and tired of how when an individual black person does something, it's always assumed to be a matter of culture for the entire race. Stop this type of thinking ... this is why there is still tension among the races. Anyway, to answer your question, no, this is not a cultural thing -- it is a personal issue. Some roommates are lazy and irresponsible, which is related to their character, NOT their race. These types often have a tendancy to think the world owes them -- they are late on rent, and they eat your groceries, etc. Others may think the friendship is so close that the grocery thing is pretty much how it would be in a family situation. Regardless, if your girlfriend made it clear for her roommate not to eat her food and even went as far as to put a note on the refrigerator, the roommate should have known better. It sounds like she just wanted to be a freeloader and not pay for her own groceries. I think getting the private refrigerator was the best option for your girlfriend.
