For the past 8 years‚ I’ve lived in a centrally Caucasian dominant area‚ Cherry Hill‚ New Jersey. Starting in about 10th grade‚ I started to become interested in how many of my peers and friends in this area perceive black people and black culture as monolithic: they stereotypically imagine that all blacks are lazy‚ speak Ebonics‚ and "have an attitude".
