It's the "girl" bit at the end; I know a lot of peeps do it, but in my personal experience it's either a gay guy or a black girl :P

I imagines a really camp guy's voice instead lol

From my experience of multiple ethnicities; it's mostly black girls that put "girl" at the end. I'd say "sister" too, but actually the Filipino are pretty big at calling every girl they get on with sister. Which is why I was race specific with "black girl"

I admit, I have yet to meet a really gay black guy. They've all been white lol. But still guilty of;

"Girl, what do you think you're wearing?"

Blacks are minorities and gays are minorities so black gays are really uncommon.

I'm friends with a gay black guy. And if you look up ItsKingsleyBitch on youtube, I'm pretty sure he's gay.

Just because you know one personally doesn't make them common.....

It's simple math really. Blacks are 13% of the population in the US. 3.5% of US adults surveyed identified as gay, .13*.035 = .0045. So roughly one out of every 200 persons is a gay black person. Much rarer than a gay white person or straight black person, obviously.

Did I ever say that made them common? No. I wasn't disagreeing with you. I was just saying I know a couple of the uncommon ones.

Apparently not, according to below lol

Where I live, there is probably only a handful of blacks. We have a lot of Chinese and East European though (it's easier here to get a job where you don't need to speak very good English).

It's only racist if you don't like black people.

Arguably, stereotyping is a form of racism XD

Perhaps, but western society is treading too close to the slippery slope of being too politically correct.

If the stereotype fits, wear it: Lots of Asians drive irritatingly slow, lots of Arabs have questionable hygeine taboo, lots of black people talk like retarded gangbangers, the list goes on. We must tread lightly around people's feelings, lest we slight them in any way. As modern society tells us, everyone's feelings are valid and worth nurturing, everyone's opinion matters, and everyone deserves a participation trophy. Any and all racially-themed jokes are wrong -- they might harm someone's precious little ego to realize that they are a different race from someone else.

Handwriting takes me away from any male. Most white girls I know would not have the proverbial balls to put this note up in a dormitory. My guess is young black female.
