Here is a question, and at first all I want is a one word answer. YES or NO. I do not want an explanation, yet. Tomorrow, you can further add on to your reasoning. We did this in school, so please follow. Here's the question?
Is there a way of acting "white" or "black?"

I suppose if you want to make such a stereotype then yes. You can act "black" or act "white".

Thanks for everyone who did respond.
My next question is, How is it that you can act a color?

Well as your topic is posted in the "society" section, one would assume that you are talking about race.

You can't act the colour, but you can act the socially constructed ideals/mannerisms associated with being a part of a certain ethnicity.
I assumed this was about ethnicity, just as everyone else did.

Oh it was about ethnicity. But this was a topic in my AP class. It went on for awhile so I wanted to know what others thought. Some said you can act "black or white" No one thought of them as colors until my teacher mentioned it.
