Missed one.
My neighbors when they heard there is a discount on a more powerful stereo to blast at 03:00.
They also perform well in the high jump
I think they meant the upstairs neighbors, lol
I know
Sorry I don't follow?
One of the many racist stereotypes about black people is they are naturally more athletic due to physical differences between the races. I remember when I was in high school in Mississippi, one of the things you’d often hear is that black people can jump higher - or the more subtle way to put it, white men can’t jump.
Ohhhhh, I meant the upstairs neighbors were also good at high jump in addition to the 100m sprint (e.g. jumping around, body slamming the ground)
In the U.S. , it's common in sports for announcers to make observations like you did to describe black athletes. Where as white players are described as smart, having heart, or over coming odds.
The gif is of Michael Che making one of his catch phrases on Saturday Night Live. Che and his co-host Colin Jost ( married to Scarlett Johansson) write racist or super offensive jokes for each other.
I was doing a " that's what she said (u.s. office)"; " did i do that (family matter's)" catch phrase joke with you but with a offensive or racist tone. Matching the vibe of Che and Jost.
