I've made a lot of these points, or ones similar, to friends of mine in arguments over this issue. The response? "You can't say that because (a) you're not black and (b) you're just perpetuating the stereotype." No real rebuttal, just personal condemnation and virtue signaling (surprise surprise).
Wonder who's the real racist and where the stereotypes come from...
And to quote a black woman, Chimimanda Adichie: "Stereotypes aren't wrong; they're just incomplete." Not always true but a helpful way of framing some of the issues.

My dad started reading Thomas Sowell in the Stars and Stripes while on he was in Vietnam. He sent me this today;
