That's So Stereotypical

We here at myshoebag do not condone racism in a hateful manner. We think it is rude to group individuals into a certain category because of his or her skin color. This is called a stereotype people, and that is not acceptable by any means. But there are some things very noticeable about various races that are true, which begs the question: can it be considered a stereotype if it’s true? For instance, if I say most Asians generally are pretty smart, is that really a stereotype? Think about it. When’s the last time you saw a homeless Asian? They must be doing something right. If I see a man walking around with a homoerotic porn stache, is it wrong if I think he’s a cop? No because it is a proven fact that 78% of cops have this. Some people don’t have control over their choices or their preferences. I don’t understand why Black people get so angry when others assume that we like chicken. Them shits is delicious. Maybe the country wouldn’t make this assumption if there wasn’t a fuckin riot breaking out because Popeye’s ran out of chicken. Not to mention the group of niggas that rolled up on a middle aged White couple and robbed them at gunpoint for a box of chicken (I can’t make this shit up people. Follow the link: http://www.news4jax.com/news/19133276/detail.html ). For instance, If I see a kid on leash, what color is his/her parents? That’s not to say that all White people put their kids on leashes, but you can be damn certain that if you see a kid on a leash, his/her parents are White. It’s also no secret that White people love to wear outdoor gear. It’s like they have to be ready at any and all times just in case a friend asks them to participate in some kind of outdoor activity like hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, etc. (There are too many stereotypes for White people >>>>> www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com ) Yes, they have customer accounts for Cabela’s and Eddie Bauer.

Ok so here are a few questions that I want to ask you just to see if the stereotypes are universally known. If everyone gives out the same answers, then these are no longer stereotypes. They are now human law.

1. If someone goes to investigate something random that is none of his or her concern, that person is:
a. Black
b. White
c. Native-American

2. If someone has their name written on the back window of their car, what race are they?
a. Middle Eastern/Indian
b. Hispanic
c. African (Like the original kind from Africa)

3. If you see someone drinking Cognac and/or other various brown liquors, what race is this person?
a. Black
b. Asian
c. Irish
4. If you see someone driving horribly, they are:
a. Asian
b. Old
c. Hispanic
d. Either or all of the above

Answers at the end of the post.

That was fun wasn’t it? Now, if you think that I’m just speaking on the subject without any proof, I have a story for you all. Everybody’s heard the jokes about how White people tend to go investigating things they have no business looking for, right? I thought this was a myth until I was an eye witness of it. True story: Me and two of my boys, one of them White, were standing on the corner of Chicon St. in East Austin (don’t ask me why, but I assure you we were not selling drugs). Anyway, out of nowhere some drunk in a truck starts driving crazy, swerving to and from each side of the street, driving into people’s yards and I think he even hit a tree or something like that. He was causing quite a ruckus, so a few people in the neighborhood came out to their yards to see what the commotion was. We know better to get into business that doesn’t concern us, so we stay put. Out comes some random White lady who walks over to me and my boys trying to see what happened, which of course we don’t know anything. The White lady, unsatisfied with our lack of knowledge of what happened then said these words that I will always remember, “I think I’m gonna go over there and see what’s going on.” We both turned and looked at our White friend with a look of confusion like “damn, I didn’t know White people REALLY did that shit.”
We tried to reassure our White friend that there was nothing to be ashamed of. And he knew that because of his fellow Caucasian’s skin color, she had no choice but to go and see what happened in that situation. Well, it’s time for a break and I’m getting pretty hungry. Guess what I’m gonna eat for lunch?

Answer Key: 1) B. refer to above story 2)B. 3 ) Trick question; Irish people will drink any and everything. A or C is acceptable. 4)D.

Women With Glasses

I don’t know when it started, but as of late I’ve had a “thing” for women with glasses. I can’t say why this is the case. Back in middle school and high school, the only reason to chill with the girls who wore glasses was to use her enough so that she would hopefully let you cheat off of her test in first period. I can’t even say there’s anything particularly intriguing about them, but whatever it is, it’s captivating. I’ve come up with a few reasons as to why these women may or may not have that special something that just makes you want to jump their bones. Let’s explore.

Intelligence – This probably goes back to that one teacher you had in high school…you know the one who you wanted to bend over her desk after class. Yep… that one. Every man wants a woman with brains and beauty. In addition to a nice pair of sweater puppies and a donk, intelligence is also very sexy, and women with glasses just seem smarter than those without. Nobody wants to wife the dumb broad. I prefer a more stimulating conversation besides whether or not LC and Heidi will make up on next week’s episode of The Hills.

Style – Even if a young lady isn’t the brightest light on the Christmas tree, she can get a pass if she’s a fly bitch (Disclaimer: That word “bitch” is meant entirely as a compliment.) I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: “A chick with a wack shoe game is an automatic deal breaker.” These kinds of things are important. If a woman has enough style sense that she can turn an everyday necessity into fashion accessory, then that’s the kind of woman for me. She’s the kind of woman who you take out in public and make heads turn. Only when people turn their heads, they aren’t doing a double-take and laughing at you behind your back.

Mystique – This may be the best explanation of why the woman with the glasses gets my juices flowing. I can’t decipher if she’s hiding something or not; whether she’s a good girl trying to be bad or a bad girl trying to be good. Either way, this can be played to my advantage. You might notice this young lady sitting at the desk next to yours at work. You always see her in such a professional and classy manner then when you go out after work you see her at happy hour knocking back shots of Don Julio, completely unaware of the fact that she’s giving the whole bar crotch shots like Britney Spears… the fine one, not the crazy bitch (Disclaimer: The word “bitch” is used entirely as an adjective to describe how fucked the fuck up she was). Now you can’t even focus on those TPS reports that are due when you come back to the office because all you can think of is taking her to one of the empty conference rooms and going to work on her like a Mexican standing in front of Home Depot.

I can’t be the only one who has become taken with the “lady in the glasses.” Questions, comments, want to go to Lens Crafters or Eye Masters to pick up some ladies? Leave a comment below or email us at myshoebag@live.com
