Plenty of them do seem to fit a certain stereotype, and yet I've never once felt insecure or threatened about my living situation. It's just ridiculous to think that you have to watch your back late at night if you see someone that doesn't think or dress the way you do. This is more of stereotype problem than a racist one.

Honestly, I'm more afraid of getting robbed by white billionaires than black kids wearing hoodies... But I base my worldview on experience, not stereotypes.
