this is not intended to be racial but somehow as mild stereotyping, in our country today, what are mexicans and whites really good at? like it can be a sport, hobby, activity, entertainment, etc ... asians r good at academics .. a lot at dancing/breakdancing .. martial arts .. tennis .. baseball, computer techniques. .. let's see africans r good at basketball, being comedic and bringing entertainment, rapping, being athletic, track, bboying, nd gettin drugs .......... and what r whites really good at .. i can see maybe hockey? cuz it's obviously a white sport ... not too much xcept for screamin out "WHITE POWA" 100000 times a day .. u feel it. ok now let's be serious ....... wat r mexican ppl good at? like normally and usualy .. they cant play a sport .. couldnt even beat us in that friendly soccer match. considering the fact most r low class in the u.s., i can't even explain .. sorry if this offended some of you
Capitilism.
I believe that this is because of the culture that each specific type of people were brought up with. Most Asians (especially parents) have the idea that education is everything, therefore making their children do well at school.
I know nothing about tennis (except for the fact that my mother forced me to play it because she sees many Asian people play tennis).
Computers because its just a good thing to know about.

Mexicans and white people are able to be good at anything!

Some of the stereotypes you listed I haven't even heard. People are people. It varies on the person as to what they are good at.
^^yeah i agree.
and Statisk, why do most of your topics have to do w/ races.
they are good at being nice people. HAAHA

White people are good at being good looking.

It doesn't matter what race you are. All races have the same potential to be good at whatever they try.
your sterotypes dont even make sense
I think its wrong to generalize like that
everyone has the potential to be good at things

wow.
theres different races in every sport. and yeah white people do play hockey, motocross, bmx, skateboarding, snowboarding..pretty much any xtreme sport. although the best motocross rider in the world is black..which goes to show that you dont really have a point. talent has nothing to do with race.
i dont think ive ever seen an asian play baseball in my life. one of my friends..who is white and female..is a black belt.
black people are good at basketball yes..rapping in my opinion requires no talent whatsoever...no offense to anyone who likes it. atleast white people use instruments.
and "not too much xcept for screamin out "WHITE POWA" 100000 times a day"
how is that not offensive? if this was meant to be a friendly topic then find a better way to word things. or better yet just figure out what your talking about.
everyone is capable of the exact same thing, reguardless of color.

well whites are good at having good credit, and mexicans are good at having bad credit.
and we know mexicans and their knack for landscaping
and whites are especially good at skiing,snowboarding cracking whips and such.

Whites and mexicans are good at being better people, and more of a help to the society than you could ever dream to be.
Can someone please close this.

What she said.
People are able to do anything they want. It's just the way they're brought up that makes them think that they are incapable of doing something they can actually do.

I've been really fencing on this. REALLY fencing because I'd like to be fair and give benefit of the doubt, where benefit of the doubt is due, but I keep coming back to this:

Now, if you were to state your opinions and back it up with something more substantial than igornant stereotyping (and I mean no disprespect by saying that, your post speaks for itself) than I will be willing to reopen this. Until then, please try to look past what is immediately in front of you in terms of stereotyping. As mentioned in other responses here, different PEOPLE are good at different things, regardless of race.
