What stereotypes do you fit? What stereotypes are expected of you, but you don't fit?
Meant to be funny. Please have at it; I hope you'll enjoy the game.

Sure, why not...
On the one hand - i am a black chick that just LOVES big earrings - sparkly, hoops, squares/hearts/triagles, and yes i have a pair of doorknockers that are gold and silver
- i am attached to my mp3player blasting music all the time - also of jamaican descent so I LOVE REGGAE!! YEA YEAH!
- i did grew up in a dysfunctional household with fighting and have had the cops come to the house
- i love, love, LOVE, chocolate
- and im Canadian, love our four vibrant seasons of the year, and love poutine too
On the other hand - I have never smoked weed
- I have my own hair; if you ask you can touch it; and do not understand the whole "rocking a weave" thing at all...
- some have called me an Oreo in the past - black on the outside and white on the inside - because i don't "sound" or "act" black
- i have no baby daddy drama. i don't date (long story). I'm 25 years old and in my current work with children, i have had kids ask once in a while "where is your daughter" because i am the same age as some of the parents...
- i am tall too, but suck at basketball. A new teacher tried to set up a team at my old elementary school when it was merged with another and i went from being the "token black kid" in class to "hey, there's enough for a basketball team (about 11 of "us")". In the entire season, we won like 2 games and i played a total of 7 minutes...
...hey, this was actually refreshing. Like unloading a whole pile of dead weight, or popping a baloon and releasing all that hot air...or something. I think i'm making sence... 
 for this
