Do you eat inhuman amounts of rice, have a strange sense of humour, run some sort of store or service, and only hang out with other Filipinos?Vern5 said:
How close are you to your stereotype?

Well let's take a look, shall we.
I'm a bear.
I shit in the woods.
Man, I am just a walking stereotype.

Australian - Well spoken, doesn't shag sheep, drinks responsibly, enjoys both fun media and artistic media
Bisexual - Extremely monogamous, not absurdly sexual, not attracted to everyone, not in denial
Metalhead - I like other genres too, I don't pull funny faces or wear denim and leather to exclusivity. Short hair, good hygiene, very soft voice. Not sure what the other stereotypes'd be.
Male - I am not a rapist. I am not a bigot. I'm not overly sexual. Extremely monogamous.
White - Uh... There are stereotypes for this? I'm primarily sexually attracted to other white people? I dunno. I probably can't rap or dance, never bothered trying, no reason to
Not sure if there are other things...

I'm a pasty bespectacled slightly acne-ridden occasionally nervous unathletic basement-dwelling kissless foreveralone permavirgin, I don't know or care much about fashion (even "basic" stuff) or "regular" pop culture, I have impeccable grammar and spelling, I'm between semesters of college where I'm going for a degree in programming, I can name more characters, and possibly actors, from Star Trek than I can sports teams or kinds of cars, I am at this very moment in my mom's basement, and I'm pretty sure I'm growing hair on my neck now. Do I win?
I'm an American and my favorite food group is Cheeseburger.
I also consider Cheeseburgers a food group.
Well I think that about wraps it up.

I'm a swedish/geek/guitarist
I certainly do not fit the "tall blonde" stereotype as I'm pretty much the complete opposite in apperance
I'm far from the northern-swede stereotype as well. Hunting, snowmobiles, engines, drinking, outdoor activities etc, don't interest me that much.
The geeky sterotype fits me in a sense that I like stuff labled as being geeky/nerdy.
I don't think I look like a guitarist, to be honest. Save for the ocational band t-shirt.

I'm a Canadian who doesn't like hockey.
I'm a young adult who doesn't drink.
I'm a classically trained singer who adores electronic music.
I'm a computer geek who doesn't program particularly well.
I... don't stereotype very well.

Pro-stereotypes:
I'm American and a bit overweight, that's about it.
Anti-stereotypes:
I come from German, Irish, Native American, and Scottish ancestry (among others) and don't drink, ever, not even when I lived in Germany for 6 years.
I'm white, like moonlight white, and I tan and have dark eyes and hair.
I'm from the American South and speak perfect English, despite it being by second language. I don't like country music or seafood. I hate pickup trucks and NASCAR. I don't hunt. I love gays and minorities and identify with blacks and hispanics more than whites. I voted for Obama.
I come from a military family stretching back at least 4 generations, brother and father are in the U.S. Military, and I am in college becoming a teacher, having never once considering joining any branch of the military. I'm also not a super-patriot.
For a large, white male I can dance like a mother fucker.
Growing up as a white child in Kentucky 90% of my friends were black.
Despite being born to a Catholic hispanic mother and possibly the whitest man ever born I am widely considered the "blackest" of my friends, even by my black friends.

Yah I fit this pretty well.

As I don't count Florida as in "The South", I like Hawaiin shirts, and Sunglasses. Also being Southern isn't a mark of idiocy, being called Bubba or listening to country music is.

Well let's see, being red blonde:
Pretty good in bed - check
Hot tempered - not check
Doesn't tan - not check
Freckles - not check
Being a Dane:
Drinks beer and other stuff - check
Drinks coffee - not check
Is happy despite grey weather, rain, and lots of wind - check
captcha: Simply orange, oh come on...

According to [a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/pauljankowski/2011/10/05/six-ignorant-stereotypes-about-middle-america/"]this list[/a] the six most common stereotypes associated with me are.
Dumb: 135 IQ, not that give IQ tests much credence, but I don't think anyone who knows me would ever describe me as "dumb".
Fat: Okay I'm definitely on the chubby side, but I'm not Larry the Cable Guy with a beer gut either.
Poor: Well I'm only working part time right now to pay for school. How rich I'll be later in life when I have a real job is yet to be determined but I can at least say that I have fairly wealthy roots.
They're Backward: I'm actually quite progressive, I'm a democrat and liberal on most issues, for gay rights, anti-gun (mostly), pro-abortion, for legalization of pot, very anti-war. I'm sorta pseudo religious, I believe in god but not really anything else in the bible. I guess I'm what you'd call a deist.
They only like country music: I hate country music.
They're Conservative: As already stated I'm very much a liberal.

Hmmmm, well as an English Canadian I can check off the following:
I do like hockey
I love maple syrup (especially with pancakes and pea meal bacon)
I say "eh" (even I am no longer sure whether it's on purpose or not)
I have curled and enjoy watching curling
I have played lacrosse (although only in middle school gym class)
I love beer
I love bacon (all kinds - there's no need to discriminate against bacon)
I do say sorry pretty often and easily (yeah... with a long "oh" sound)
I try to be polite and tactful most of the time
Poutine is clearly the greatest junk food ever invented
Despite the above fact I don't like Quebec
I like to go hiking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming in rivers (or the ocean) in the summer
I do enjoy a good barbecue, and have barbecued outside in the winter
(of course here it was just pouring rain not snow -_-)
I like the cold weather... but being from southern BC I miss a lot of the snow type stereotypes
-however, I have put chains on my car before, and driven through a foot of snow in all-season tires
So yeah, pretty Canadian I guess, eh?

I'm a Norwegian girl/geek from the country side.
I look Norwegian (blonde, blue eyes, pale skin), but I don't care about or excel at winter sports and I have zero tolerance for low temperatures ^^; I do binge drink during weekends, but I prefer beer and wine to moonshine, I avoid eye contact on the bus, mind my own business and let others mind theirs, and I'm good at foreign languages.
I'm a very cheerful person, though.
As a geek I get very interested in things that will probably never benefit me in any practical way, I read mostly sci-fi and fantasy, my grades are awesome, I constantly switch to English when I talk to quote something or reference a meme, and I take my video games super seriously and get really offended when someone critizes them.
