<p>I totally agree with Dnerd. I’m AA, and my parents both graduated form college and showed me at various points iin my life how valuable an education is. At my high school I’m the “smart black guy” too- the one who does well in school, takes tough classes, and has more than one white friend. However, I do have to say there is one girl who I would say is smarter than me- and ironically enough her dad is African. (she is mixed, and one of the prettiest mixed girls I know) It definitely has its exceptions and proven points I just think the claim is extremely generalized</p>
