I would argue that SOME people who perpetuate those stereotypes aren't doing it for attention, they're doing it simply because of the culture/environment they were raised in and the people they surround themselves with.Originally Posted by HOOSIERdaddy282

YES. Just trust me on that one kid. It's either that, or they weren't socialized to act any better. Nothing is inherent about it though. Blame parents, WSHH, BET or what have you. But something compells certain Black people to act colored while others, like myself, are happy enough being black without acting all steroetypical. If anything, I do the opposite.![]()

One used to be considered a physiological disease until gay rights changed it. The other is just and adjective describing a happy state of being.

A better example, the stereotypical "hick" stereotype. Dude grows up on a farm, hunting, fishing, shooting guns or whatever other stereotypical %$#$ people do in the backwoods of Louisiana. Is it ok for me to assume their mannerisms are a cry for attention? Is it at all possible that SOME of those black people you are referring to just don't know how else to act because of how they were raised. From your perspective it might seem like it has to be forced and a cry for attention....not saying that some don't but I suspect a lot are just like that.
Notice i used the word "some".

What's the negative about acting gay though? It is because of other people's narrow minded view of homosexuality or because it is actually harmful?
