Yes, yes it does. For each person that doesn't fit into a stereotype, the stereotype is that much less true.Custard_Angel said:
They had to have been true about some members of the targeted group once, but they weren't necessarily ever true about the majority or even the plurality.Custard_Angel said:
"Hip" and "cool" are relatively to the social circles one moves in. So yes, their basketball tops, baggy pants and rap music blaring do make them hip, cool, and trendy. Likewise, your unqualified condemnation of anyone who dresses a certain way or listens to certain music makes you a judgmental ass.Custard_Angel said:
Nice circular logic there. "Stereotypes are true, because anyone who fits a stereotype fits a stereotype."Custard_Angel said:

nah, but up here in Wisconsin I had my fair share of "hey Bob I need to show me how you roll those cubanos your famous for" If I had less moral fiber I'd slap him. And I didn't know I was supposed to be a mechanic. I mean I can fix basic stuff but I just go blank with cars.
Samez. Except for the fact that I'm bi rather than gay.Xanadeas said:
You'd never know if I didn't say, although I do have a bit of a penchant for pink, but my STRAIGHT friend always outdoes me at dressing stereotypically gay.
I don't have a lisp, I don't do that hand flop thing, I don't call people "darling" apart from the occaisional boyfriend or girlfriend who it feels right to say it to, I've never been to a gay bar. I used to be fairly promiscuous, but I once again have straight friends who are more into the whole casual sex thing than I was.
I spend most of my time just listening to music, no madonna lolz, a lot of jazz, avant-garde, metal, trip-hop, world music, ambient, drone, pop, blah blah. Literally anything and everything aside from country. That is the ONE genre I haven't found any redeeming qualities in yet. But I'm sure there's a country artist that could prove me wrong.
Only thing that makes me bi is the fact that I like guys too. I'm just your average guy aside from that.
I'm turning 21 in a few months, right?
Well, I have female friends as young as 13 or 14. Apparently, that makes me a full-fledged pedophile.
I'm also a virgin BY CHOICE, but people who don't know me all that well or even at all will insist that this is not the case.
These are the two stereotypes that apply to me the most, and they're both wrong. Just because you're almost 21 and have female friends as young as 14 (the 14 year old in question was 12 when we first met... actually, she might be 15 now, but my point still stands), doesn't mean I'm a bloody pedophile. Just because I'm still a virgin at my age doesn't mean I don't want to be.
Oh yes, here's another stereotype: that Christians don't listen to bands like Behemoth, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Empyrean, Souldrainer, Deathstars, Keep of Kalessin, Psyclon Nine, Arch Enemy, Devildriver, etc. I'm living proof that this is bullshit.
Another stereotype that doesn't necessarily affect me: that the Maoris and Islanders in this country don't listen to such bands either, because they're all 100% guaranteed to be listening to hip hop and rap and R&B and stuff like that. There are some who hate that music and prefer to listen to the music I listen to, among others. It's just that there's not that many of them that I know of. They're quite rare, to be honest, but it doesn't make the stereotype any less wrong.

OK for that just for saying that you get a e-handshake and a HI5!zauxz said:
thank you my good sir.
Russians are not all drunks, there are drunks all over the world. Also according to the Russian news Ukraine drink more than Russian. And we do not all talk like this...
"Hwello comrade whehre kan I buy nuclear weasel?"
... no that's wrong! we do not sound like this, I blame American movies for spreading this stereotype (not dissing Americans here just the movies which involve previously stated)
and another thing we are not terrorists, every western movie we are in the Russians suddenly take over the plane with the American president, or the Russians kidnap the ministers daughter... urgh i really want to slap the guy who writes these scripts.
I can keep on ranting about this for ages
P.S HI5! to all the Russians out there
I'm English and I don't wear tweed, I don't drink tea (I prefer coffee), I don't have crooked or yellow teeth, I don't have a posh accent (I live in Bristol for chrissakes), aso seeing as I live near Somerset (Farmer county), I am not illiterate, I don't have an Oo-ar accent either and I don't use a cow as my form of transport. I blame Matt Groening, his fucking Simpsons started the caricatures of the British as Limeys with bad dental hygiene....fucking twat
The metalhead stereotype. It's so god-damn wrong, metalheads are more often than not, the nicest, most intelligent people I know. If it's still not obvious, I'm a metalhead and so are many of my friends. What I want to know is: Why do people think we're unintelligent, angry,violent people?
To Sightless Wisdom: It could be because of the Devil-sent music you listen to, the semi-masochistic/sadistic shown by the members of the Devil-sent bands, and the live goat sacrifices your lot participates in...
No, that's terrible. Sorry 'bout that, I couldn't help it. Anyway, I have an incredibly false stereotype:
All Croatians have the ability to turn coal into diamonds with their digestive system.
I dare anyone to beat the falseness of that statement.

That tall people are good at basketball. I'm 6'3" and I can't shoot a basket to save my life, yet my friend who's 5'5" can!
Stereotypes are fun! Find me a black guy who doesn't like watermelon!
Although, reverse stereotypes are also awesome--I too love rice, fried chicken, tacos, salsa, kimchi, fish, watermelon, potatoes, drinking, and making fun of white people! Whoo, hipocrisy! Yay!
