What Stereotypes Are You Sick To Death Of Hearing As A Black And/Or Latino Person

There's such a thing as ignorance, but then there are notions that are just tired, point blank.

One look at today's society, and it's very clear that we're living in a time of divisiveness and deep-rooted misunderstanding.

The ideas that can be carried by different cultures and ethnicities about other cultures and ethnicities can lead to misconceptions that are, at best, annoying, and, at worst, deeply harmful.

The Black and Latino communities are two of many that are often targeted by deeply offensive, disrespectful, and woefully false stereotypes.

By not calling them out, we allow these ideas to perpetuate when they are overdue to be shut down, once and for all.

If you belong to the Black or Latino communities, I'm interested to hear which stereotypes you find most grating and why. Certainly, different things rub different people the wrong way, but some things are just straight-up unacceptable with a margin for questions.
