183378, Because its a stereotype
Posted by BigReg, Tue Oct-27-15 03:30 PM
You can say something like this:

I've been in plenty of class rooms and have to be honest it's only the black and Latino kids I've seen act this way (on rare occasion white males)"

and it can be factual, the problem is the conclusion that you draw; white girls are less prone to 'act up in class' and minority kids are is problematic because you've got shitty schools of a wide variety across the US. I can walk outside of my door in Gentrifying Hood, USA and say "these old darkies are crackheads but the young white folks are fine" but I know that i am taking a small unique section of the populace and painting a BROAD ass brush (I also know cause I have been around the white kids getting coked up, lol. they are worse then some of the regulars, lol)
