I hate when people say I act black just because I wear "urban" clothes. Especially people here in cb. Also, kids in my school. They're just f**king ignorant. Dont you agree that everyone can wear what they want? I mean..theyre just clothes..CLOTHES..u can wear anything u want that keeps u from naked..Just because i wear roca wear and ecko every day dosent mean im trying to be gangsta. It's like making fun of a black guy wearing abercrombie trying to act prep. This is just wrong. People do what they want. wear what they want. Period.

Okay, thanks for sharing.

People are ALWAYS going to label and stereotype, whether they're doing it to people, music, clothing, or whatever. People are ALWAYS going to label and stereotype.

You may not like it, but you can't exactly change it.
Just get over what people say. Don't let it get to you or bother you.

Exactly. I know a lot of people that love to dress completely opposite from their personalities. None of them are fake, they just like a different style than you would assume. Goodness, people today are so ignorant to everything around them.

It's because of what you wear that those types of stereotypes develop. If you wear Rocawaer/Ecko, then you're a gangsters wanna-be. If you wear A&F and Hollister, then you're preppy. If you wear Alexisonfire or Atticus or whatever, then you're....gothic (it's not exactly gothic, but I don't know the word to describe it). It's always going to be there. Some people are just too judgemental. Just ignore it.

But dude im not a gangster wannabe just because i wear roca wear, ecko, phat farm, all those HIP-HOP WEARS..alotta ppl wear them..maybe they like the "style"

I never said you were. That's the stereotype.

I go with what everyone said..
:D

I, too, want it to stop.

Yeah. Um, basically what I wanted to say was already said, so yep. :\

Hey I wear Preppy clothing, but I act nothing like preppy, I act, well I dunno surferish?

well your appearance does reflect part of your personality. but that does not justify some one saying "you act black" or whatever, unless they were joking

Yes I think stereotypes are incredibly stupid. I mean you can't wear anything without being called a poser or gangster or preppy or whatever. Just ignore them, they're idiots.

People judge on what they see....but their opinions shouldn't matter...because....who are they...to tell you what you are....just ignore what you hear..

I hate when people do that.
But I have learned to ignore their stupid comments.
Those kind of peoples don't know anything so I or anyone else shouldn't be affect by it.
It's never going to go away so it's best just to let it go and ignore it.

Yep. I'm gothic because I wear all black.

...

edit// *sigh*

i agree

i can never forget the day i wore pink...so stupid

Dude... It's also if you act "gangster." You know, people on cB only THINK you act gangster because you say you're one.. "OMG I'm kangsta" it makes you seem like one. "In style," you say? Do you also wear bandanas and stuff? Just wondering...

It's not so much about how you dress, but more about how you carry yourself upon others. Especially if you go overboard with it.

^ I completely agree with that answer, you took the words right out of my mouth ahaha

I didn't say you act black.

well first of all; rocawear&ecko are kinda "gangsta" clothes. so yeah, you sorta are trying to be gangsta, with all the raps that you make, and saying you're "kangsta".

but anyways, sterotype happens all the time. there's no stopping it. the best you can do is ignore it.

yeah, it's wrong to do that. i totally agree because i get it all the time too. RAWR..

but, sadly, we can't stop it.

they're lifeless bitches...they just like to make life more difficult for people

thats how everyone is; they always have to like laybel someone of they cant live.

i agree; it is just clothes.

It'll always happen and i hate it. (who doesnt) Hell, in my school people even categorize the place people hang out. It's so stupid. One place, 'K-town' other place 'P-town'. its just human nature to hang out with your own ethnicity, and other people tend to label that. I really think its dumb. A person in my school, whenever he passes where me and my friends hang out, he claps his hand and squints his eyes, and says 'konichiwa'. It pisses me off. pisses my friends off. but we cant stop it. It'll always happen. and even if we do stop it. There'll be more people coming. Its an unending chain.

some people just say that cuz they are jealous nd want those types of clothes just dont listen to wut neone says

i wear, and do whatever i want . and listen to whatever i want . people classify me as "gangster", but i'm not . i do wear ecko / rocawear / southpole and that stuff .. butt i wear Aeropostle .. and i'm soon to buy some Abercrombie because my brother's friend can hook me up with 40% off on anything i want .. =D ..
