Is "black people being late" really a stereotype that exists outside of the restaurant/service industry?

Yes.

Who doesn't like fried chicken?

Yea, this one always pissed me off, I'm just tryna live my life fam, damn

"I'll have literally anything but the fried chicken."

Lol, normally I don't give a shit, though there are times when I don't do it more because I fear looking "basic" for ordering something I often eat, as opposed to being worried about being stereotyped. Or like, I will worry... but still eat that fried chicken anyways lmao

Is "black people being late" really a stereotype that exists outside of the restaurant/service industry? I've never really encountered it at all outside of event planning.

I have never encountered "black people like spicy foods" either. Never once has someone intimated to me that black people were more likely to want something spiced or peppered up. My personal stereotype was often the opposite -- that the black people who don't like spice REALLY REALLY don't like spice and if they mention not liking spicy things then don't even bother recommending anything with even a little bit of heat. I was getting wings with plain BBQ sauce returned to the kitchen because they were "too spicy".

It's been a long time stereotype: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored_people's_time

The spicy thing is probably less common, but still comes up a lot.

I'm in a mixed marriage and i've gotten from friends and wife's family that our babies will be cute because half white/asian babies are cute :/

Also I found that video pretty funny (kind of expected it to suck).

Huh, never knew spicy food was a black stereotype. I'm white as can be but my whole family loves spicy food so none of them have ever stereotyped it towards black people, and they're the most likely of the people I know.

Slightly different, but I had people say the baby stuff when I was with my ex, a Vietnamese woman.

As a visible minority, I am disappointed this wasn't two ethnicities, where one person wasn't white.

I guess when Americans think interracial (in general), it's Black/Hispanic first.

That's not really seen as interratcial cause "Hispanic" is not a race. Actually the term Hispanic kinda bothers me the way it's used in America and other countries, cause down in South America we don't really say that cause it means a very specific thing, either from Spain or direct descendant of Spain, like saying Irish American for example. But yeah, we aren't a race. We are just as diverse as North America.

That shit was mad corny, mainly because of the way they're talking with the high pitch supposedly awkward voice. I say the hot sauce at the end is the only part I laughed at.

On another note I hate it when folks fetishize mixed children. All of that is contributing to colorism.

Because that would miss the whole point of the joke. White people don't care if minorities fuck each other, it's another thing when a black dude dates a white woman.

Yeah the "your babies will be so cute" thing is too real. Granted my cousins did that shit when they found out my brother was dating, now married a white woman (granted the kid is freaking adorable and imo prime candidate for like... a disney/nick teen sitcom in a few years)

Now that people know I'm dating someone too I'm getting the messages. Never should have sent my mom that pic of me and gf... she told EVERYONE I was dating a Japanese woman and my facebook got flooded with that shit lol.

Well since it is the fastest growing relationships in America.

I see, didn't know this was the case. I guess this video is more America specific.

Sorry about that, didn't mean to offend you or anyone.

I don't agree with this. I think that if people have an issue with a white person having a relationship with a black person, they have an issue if you sub that with anyone else or two minorities together.

People use it as a term to describe mixed Native and European(and potentially African) ancestry from Central and South America. It's a bit weird though. There were hundreds(thousands?) of tribes across all of the Americas and many European countries colonized portions of the Americas. It's useless as a term. You might as well say the person is mixed race and ethnicity cause there's a good 90% chance they are.

Yup...

I've been hit with the "good for you"/"beautiful kids" line many times. I don't think much of it really

"Hispanic" has become racialized in the same weird way that "Muslim" has become racialized to Americans. I think as non-Hispanic whites start to become a plurality instead of a majority, you'll start to see people use "Hispanic" as a term more correctly since that way white Hispanics can be more easily claimed for the white category.

My fiancee and I always get called out when we go to comedy shows. I'm a black male, and she's half Peruvian half Polish. Besides that people in cities are used to it - at least in the DC area.

I've been told that we will have beautiful children......but I assume that it just means that we are both hot.

You can disagree but your wrong.

What? No, you're definitely missing the point if you think this is remotely true

??

What alternate universe are you from?

I am not American, so my experiences are different than yours. I still think the issue isn't just black and white, but not everyone will agree. What if a white person was dating someone who is Middle Eastern? A completely different religion (if parents are religious)? Again, everyone has differing opinions. I just find it interesting how other minorities are downplayed with these types of issues, being a minority myself.

Yes, those issues also exist. Racism towards interracial dating do not end at white/black nor did anyone insinuate it does.

It has to do with the racist assumption that black people have a higher pain tolerance than other races
Really? Is that a US-specific thing? Otherwise, I thought it'd just be based on how spicy regional cuisines are, in the same way Asians and Latin Americans would be expected to be able to eat spicier.

Yeah, in a lot of older medical textbooks and even some now, it says that black people can handle pain better and such, so they get prescribed less pain meds than they actually need, while white people are prescribed too much. All bullshit obviously, but I think that's where the spicy thing comes from

It's bullshit, but that doesn't stop it from still going on in the medical field today. Hell, I think we had a thread about the pain meds bit happening to someone on here just a few weeks ago.

Black people being into spicy and seasoned food and white people being into bland and unseasoned food is a super common stereotype.
