again, i'm not stating if majority are or not. i'm merely asking the general public. so don't throw a fit.
yes all women argue, though it may be a generalization, but that is not what i'm asking. the key word is "expected", as in general public's expectation or perception of a group.
is it wrong to ask questions? why is it that a black girl is trying to stop me from asking questions?
 
I guess it is what people see on tv and if you do not have any real contact with them you expect the stereotype to be true. I can tell you honestly that it is not true I do not whine or argue all the time.
 
you must have been hanging around with black girls too long, have you hanging with white girls too?
it make no different which colors of skins do argue alot or whining.
 
All women argue and whine alot, at least all american women do, that's why they all end up divorced. In Latin America women know their place.
 
Why do you keep asking about black women??? im a African- American and i do not argue alot
 
You know what? I think it IS expected... that's why when black girls act just as normal as anyone else, we're labeled as "argumentative" or feisty. All things equal, if a black girl and a non-black girl acted feisty, people are most likely to say "Yeah, I expected the black girl to have that attitude".People have this expectation that we'll act like that, so everything we do is colored with that perception in others' eyes. Not fair. I can present a well-thought out rebuttal to an argument in a calm manner, and I will still be accused of being a stereotypical head-swiveling ,finger-snapping black girl with attitude.

You ask why? Because of negative reinforcement of stereotypes.
 
My guess would be because they have a history of running into men that want to do nothing but take their money, lay up around their house, drive their car, cheat on them in short just use them...maybe they have reasons for what they do?
