17. How are minority members supposed to act?

Please explain. And also, what constitutes "acting white"? And is it ok for white people to act white, too? I am VERY curious about your opinion on that, too. I guess it is bad when a white person acts black? Is acting latino or asian a thing, too?

I am white, but I like math, hot sauce and R&B. Am I ok, or did I get too far outside my white box? Or are we only judge-y when POC get too far outside the stereotypes?
