      What stereotype did society put him in?

FYI the average person looks at a person of another race no different than looking at a person with a different eye or hair color, It’s kind of hard not to look at him as a black man considering he reminded us numerous times throughout the video!

    His commentary on his Training Day experience really reminded me of a video I watched of a known Filipino actor talking about his career. He said in the early 80s or 90s, they'd cast big, tall guys as the goons also! The muscle, the bad guy. But eventually that particular actor became even more known also for his comedic, soft characters.

      His words about being the solution and not the problem were so well said, and people can apply that to anything in life. Instead of getting angry and vengeful, take the problem and help fix it.

      As a foreigner, Terry Crews is an American gem of an export + a role model that I aspire to be like. What a great man - he is the antithesis of a toxic male. I feel like I wanna hang out with the guy (contagious personality) and learn how to maintain his mindset. I wish....
      Edit: Plus, he's a PC Gamer who loves MMORPGs - how awesome is that?! Well, I find it awesome at least.
