I don't really dislike stereotypes, I more-so hate the people that continue to fuel them. At my college, there's constantly black people blasting rap or pop music through their headphones and yelling ghetto to people standing two feet from them. I've purposely tried to pay attention to white people as well and nope, almost none of them are loud and obnoxious like a lot of the black people on campus. It's certainly not all of them, but I can safely say I hate a good 85% of the black people that hang around on campus, and it makes me feel like a racist even though I'm hating them for individual behavior that just happens to add to bad stereotypes.
When I was a Resident Advisor in college I was involved in a situation where a guy really wanted to play his music loud during study hours. We kept getting complaints and I was forced to confront him multiple times. He'd turn it back down for a few minutes, then back up once he thought I wasn't paying attention. Finally we had to call the cops to report the noise because our authority alone wasn't enough. As I was making my statement to the office I overheard a young women proclaim, "they just did this 'cause they're white and we're black!" I wanted to explain that no, I did it because he was disturbing the other students and repeatedly refused to cooperate, but I had the impression all it would do was start another fight so I didn't try.
