How come everyone calls us (black girls) rude?
Your question is obviously an overstatement because “everyone” does not call Black females “rude.” Nevertheless, to answer your question, many people believe Black females are rude because they might often come across rude Black females within their personal experiences, and because of failing or perhaps outright refusing to know that mere personal experiences do not entail encompassing truths, they conclude that all or most Black females are rude and judge them accordingly. The far more illogical types might automatically assume that a Black girl would be rude 24/7 based upon the false premise that “all” Black girls are rude, which can be considered “racial stereotyping.” Perhaps if they familiarised themselves with the concept of “hasty generalisation fallacy” and how to avoid it, such a stereotype would not even exist for Black females to begin with. “Some” Black girls however, a quantifier that refers to an unspecified number of people that does not even guarantee 1% of a population, are “rude,” yet, “some” people within every racial group is rude and would likely become rude temporarily in certain situations. Thus, rudeness is a feature of human nature, not exactly Black-female nature. It just so happens that, due to racism, their environment and all the negativity within it, dysfunctional families, etc., many Black females typically find themselves in situations that would likely provide reason for them to act rude, which gives off the impression that Black females are typically ruder than females of other races without any real evidence to prove it true.
