I am tired of my race being degraded Because others have bought into their stereotypes Because you know what I know a ditsy Asian cheerleader, I also know an Asian ******* the Science team One part Times at a Chinese restaurant The other at the local grocery I know a black man who is kind and caring And he works at a bank I know a black man who thinks he’s entitled to my body With no job, because two hundred years ago My ancestor hit his with a whip I know a Mexican girl who was an anchor baby Her parents came here illegally and made a life for her They got their cards a little late, she rides horses on the side I also know a boy’s who’s parents went through all the right channels Both are jobless and he’s failing every class I know white kids who are dumber than a box of rocks Who think they’ll make a living off of video games and ball I know white kids who try so hard to rise above The ignorance of the past So stop degrading me for your ignorance Do not define me for the stereotype of my race And I will not define you for the stereotype of yours Race is not a definition Nor does it entitle you to a thing
So none of this “reverse racism” crap Racism is racism No matter who it comes from So let me say again Race is not your definition Nor does it entitle you to anything
I don’t care what anyone thinks of me for this, it needed to be said.
