Why is it that when a black man dates a white woman usually he follows "white stereotypes"?

Question

I remember that i saw a show and this black man was complaining about his wife cheating on him, and before they showed his wife, i guessed she would be white

And guess what, I WAS RIGHT

I notice that usually in black/white couples the black person is the one that "acts" white

as in they don't associate themselves with ANYTHING(positive or negative) that is considered black

Answer 1

lmfao !!!  well honestly i don't know if this a question or you just wanted us to know your opinion .... but here's a question to you ... how does a black or white person act ??? when you can answer that you'll be able to answer your question/opinion.  

Answer 2

you must be a african american women that believes that white women where put on this earth for one thing, and one thing only.That white women are here to take you black men from you. Maybe you should take a good look at your culture and realize that really it is the ignorancee of the black female that has the problem.... let me tell you somei ncitee to why your own type of men go to the white chick.

#1 you all believe that a black american man is worthless and all they have to offer is drugs and violence.

#2 my boyfriend ( who is a african american) says that all black women do is ***** and complainn how things are not there way and there mean. Don't believe that but your own kind said it.

#3 white women tend to be stupid...most white women will put up with **** ablack women would never ever do.

#4 black men that I have dated never turn into the white stereotypes. Matter of fact they turn worst because they seem to think that they can act anyway they want and I will not flip out well got news for them I will turn into the so called black stereotype that they give black women in a min.

#5 most black women date white women so that is how you can tell she was white.

Answer 3

how can you not associate yourself with anything that is not black when you are black. Everything you do is something to associate with black.  

Answer 4

As you've noticed, this is usually because the black man wants to move up the social ladder. Asians have been marrying whites for a long time for this very reason as well (50% of Asian women are married to a White man).  

Answer 5

Not always like that.  Sometimes the couple doesn't use any pre-fab behaviors - they just act real.

Other times both the black man and the white woman use hip-hop or black gang culture body language & lingo.

Answer 6

How is complaining that your wife is cheating on you "acting white"?

Answer 7

I haven't really seen that. Most of the black man/white women couples that I know, don't dissociate themselves from black culture.

I understand what you mean about the stereotypes. That's just what they are. Some people may fit them; most everyone I know doesn't.

Answer 8

I have seen just the opposite. I have seen white women who date black men, and these white women speak ebonics and style their hair in a way that is ethnically black.  

Answer 9

I've dated a couple of black men in my life and I just thought they were being themselves.

Answer 10

How do you 'act' white?

So when you see stereotypes that you believe in your head...you should realize that's your issue, not everyone else's.

You act like a troll but I gave you the benefit of the doubt - maybe you can give it to these other folks?

Answer 11

I want to know what "white" stereotypes are?

Did he speak propely did he wear nice outfits? Because thats not white thats normal and if so you were being racist by saying black people cant talk properly or dress outside of urban wear...If you were saying that of course.

Answer 12

That's strange. I always picked mixed couples to act “more black”. I just moved to South Carolina and that's definitely the way it is here; same for Oklahoma and Texas (at least in my experience). The black/white couple has mostly black friends and the white female involved picks up as you put it here "black" mannerisms. The children usually call themselves black and have mainly black friends. But, I mean. I meet a lot of Haitians and Jamaicans that don't act "black" and actually have some pretty poor things to say about how they're treated by, what they call, "Africans" same with "black looking" Peruvians.

It does make sense though, that back males that emulate whatever it is that can be defined as, "white behavior" would, therefore, after this cultural transcendence, date white females that behave and are receptive to similar behavior.

Answer 13

id like to know that too.

how do colors act?

stereotypes are what you make up in your mind.  

Answer 14

Stereotypes can be any type of color of some group, but false images that pass on in generations without studying origin or greater understanding of a group of people. Do racism plaque the whole world, Then we must go to the (root) of that ,not partial truth. God always come with root or supreme knowledge to heal humanity problems we can not love others without first loving ourselves means about origin includes knowledge God and self and others with freedom, equality, justice that's the (true love) and the body of Christ. Superiority and inferiorority is not base on color, but complete righteousness even though (we) are not perfect yet, we have to grow and develop our faculties(soul). We all have a slave mentality deeper understanding of the word, if we don't know true living God not here judge people thats actual facts.
