    One time a woman came up to me in the grocery store, and said... I **** you not, she said:

    "What's the green leafy vegetable that looks like spinach that black people eat?"

    I stared at this ***** like she was crazy, and said "Collard greens..." and she says "That's it! I knew you'd know."

    I HATE collard greens. Not ALL black people like it. Grrr.

    I'm English and I go out in the midday sun. I try to keep away from the mad dogs while I do this though.

    Huh, it's more a southern dish than anything else. Granny used to fix 'em for Jethro all the time on the Beverly hillbillies.

    Up here in the northeast collard greens aren't that popular outside of the black community.

    I'm currently dating a black man and at least 3 times a day we will ask each other, "Is that a white thing?" or "Is that a black thing?"

    We ate more mustard greens growing up than collards. They sell pretty good down here in the south.

    This is a little funny.
    My husband (who is Asian) was recently talking to a downstairs neighbor (a very nice woman) and asked her if she is bothered by our treadmill use. She said that the treadmill does not bother her, but that she can hear more noise when we are practicing martial arts.

    I just did not have the heart to tell her that we don't know martial arts, and it is just Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. :O


    LOL.. I was thinking the noise might have been from something else.....dirty mind here. Sorry :embarassed:

    Me too!

    No stereotypes about black women...I'm so shocked I almost fell on my big lo' *kitten* and messed up my hair weave (both of which I do actually have:)

    You may not practice martial arts but do you walk around with a camera on vacation and take pictures of featureless buildings?

    Edit to add:

    I'm white and therefore can't dance. :cry:

    White people can't jump either. Particularily men.

    Really? Then how the hail have they been jumping my bones all these years?

    :laugh:

    One of my Hispanic friends told me that if she ever gets into a fight for her life, she wants me there as a witness.

    I'm a rich pretty white girl who is in her second year of veterinary medical school. It would seem that these things make me "more trust worthy" then other people to a jury.

    I feel bad about this....
