I think of Leroy Jethro Gibbs from NCIS. That man is hot, lol.
Quoting HelloKitty86:No offense, but when I hear Leroy I think of a country man :)
Quoting coolmommy2x:
On the flip side, DH's grandfather, uncle and cousin were named Leroy. People always assumed they were black. They were/are white. not just white but pasty white.

Yes, that is offensive. Why are any of those things "white" things? What would someone consider "black" things, then?
Quoting epoh:
So if a black man is named Bruce and he golfs and owns a house with a white picket fence and has a white collar job, and someone says he acts white, he's supposed to be offended?
What's wrong with being white? How would that be offensive?
Quoting art.diva:
It's probably because some black people are often told they "act white", or called "oreos", which is meant to be a huge insult.

I've been accused of acting white by black people. It's offensive because white people aren't the only ones that use proper grammar, have successful careers , etc.
There are negative stereotypes out there and people sometimes "expect" you to play into them depending on what your race is.

How is doing well for yourself offensive, regardless of what color you are? I don't know why those are considered white things.
And I'm sure you already know what some people consider a stereotypical black man.
