Why is there this social expectation that Black people need to be talkative and entertain people?

As a Black introvert I hate when people expect me to run my mouth and entertain them. It makes me uncomfortable. I find it interesting how some people have the privilege to be invisible in social situations and never say a word if they don't want to--Asians and Whites particular.

    There's a stereotype that black people are sassy, loud mouthed and confident. Stereotypes are frustrating.
