My brother is a typical teenage boy, fifteen. I haven't moved out of my childhood home yet, but am saving to do so.
Anyhow, I recently was asked by him to drive somewhere so he could see a girl and not ask our parents. Halfway through the hour-long drive, he tells me this is a girl that has gotten him into trouble with her parents before (on accident) and they threatened legal action against him. I told him I wouldn't drive him for his own safety, and he understood. He told her, and she was disappointed but understood and reacted quite rationally. She was white.
A month earlier, I had been talking to another of my brother's friends who is seventeen and black. Weight came up, and I cited a statistic about how over half of black women are overweight. He responded by asking if I was insulting his mother and sister, whom I had never met or seen before, and tried to get my family to call me a racist because I "insulted his family."
Yep, even suburban black kids are irrational.

Thankfully for him you weren't talkin' about black men. It,might have been hard for him axe if you were talking about his daddy.
