    Childish Gambino sings and raps about the truth if you're white you can be a jock, hipster, nerd, emo, punk, even ghetto and listen to rap and people won't bother you but, if you're black and Hispanic and don't speak ghetto and don't listen to rap instead of saying you are expressing yourself people say you are acting white and selling out and bully you

    "White kids get to wear whatever hat they want; when it comes to black kids, one size fits all." Think about that lyric, because it's true. When you're white, you get to CHOOSE how you want people to see you. You can be a geek or a band nerd or a jock or whatever you want. You can even be black if you want to.
    If you're black, one size truly does fit all. It doesn't matter how you dress or how you present yourself. The stereotype itself is "black".

      Not true not all whites stereotype others. Some of us have the ability to see all races as equal and individuals. Some of us have massive passion and care for others no matter the color of you skin or how you wear your clothes. Some of us can look past all that and seek the you that you hold with in.

    I love that line where he says that "he's not really black because he's not really black." As an english-born chinese man, I get people tell me I'm not really Chinese as my mum's from Hong Kong. What am I then? It's so stupid. What makes you think that you know better than me?

    "This one kid said something that was really bad; he said that I wasn't Black because I had a Dad..."
    By this kid's logic, I (a white person with high-functioning cerebral palsy) am the Blackest person that ever lived because my Dad basically left me with my Mom when I was just a baby. He never came back into my life again until I was the age of 13. It was then that I had met my half-Sister and her younger Brother. After that, we kinda fell outta touch. The last time I saw my Dad, it was my 18th birthday, and he bought a case full of cans of beer just so that I could try it out (because it was a Father-Son tradition or something).
    If this lyric is true, then I'm sorry for what happened to you, Gambino. Racial stereotypes are an insane bitch. 😒
