Today, I had to explain to my neighbor that not all black people are lactose intolerant. His eyes still bulge out every time I eat cheese. FML

That's called aversive racism. One doesn't have to be a member of the KKK to be racist.

Lactose intolerance can come and go during your lifetime. My husband wasn't lactose intolerant until he was about 20.

Wow. I don't know that that's racist so much as incredibly stupid......but convincing himself that you're mixed, he does sound a little racist

My dad has developed lactose intolerance in the last year, they actually make a lactase pill you can take so you can eat something with dairy without worrying

I wasn't lactose intolerant until I was 17. People pretty much tell me to baby it and not have any dairy but I suffer through it because I like dairy too much haha

actually everyone is lactose intolerant to a degree. and since no one cares I'll just say cows eat grass and we cannot digest what's in grass.

Who believes this about black people i have never heard this ridiculous stereotype

Most adults of any race as lactose I tolerant while children aren't...I don't know why I just remember my doctor telling me.

this is interesting because I'm half black and half European (Spanish) and I don't know if I'm lactose intolerant but I certainly hate all dairy products. cheese, milk, yogurt all of it I cannot stand. literally the only thing I like is hot chocolate made with milk and while I don't get full on symptoms I know I usually do ahem have business to do within an hour or so of me drinking it. I wonder if I somehow am partly or as someone said "asymptomatic"?
