Why the fine line? I chose to speak ghetto so others have a poor opinion of me. Same as me going to a board meeting and dropping my pants to scratch my nuts and put my feet up on the table. Either case, I can't complain if someone has a poor opinion of me because I chose to behave one way or the other. As to a racial stereotype, I am simply saying that because you are (insert race here), you will be (insert stereotype here).
