Stereotypes that are completely wrong

[Basse]

If you rub an asian you will have luck in video games and score top on the leaderboards? not true... i tried...

I guess my ethnic...thingy is Canadian? or french canadian whatever you want to call it (my family is from Canada) and i don't think they have a stereotype but for the most part i believe most Stereotypes are in fact.... correct to some extent but for the most part wrong. I've seen plenty of Irish Blood people that drink... alot

We drink a lot when we go to partys not that much when just lying around tbh.

I would say that i doubt all americans are stupid but my family in new jersey are DUMB and there the only americans ive really been in contact with for an extended period of time.

JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T FIT INTO A STEREOTYPE, THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT ANY LESS TRUE.

Every single stereotype is a generalisation of real occurences. Some stereotypes are old, dated and need to die, but they were formed because they were (at least once) true.

Wiggers need to retard themselves out of existence. Your basketball top doesn't make you hip or cool. Your rap music blaring out of the phone tucked into your baggy pants that unironically say "THUG" on them does not make you trendy. The fact that you have friends similar to you does not make you any less of a tool. It makes all your friends tools as well.

Dose that description remind you of someone you've seen? Someone you know maybe? Thats because its a generalisation of the real world. A stereotype.

Often the difference is in the fine print but all stereotypes have their basis somewhere. 1 person can spoil 10 peoples images. Stereotypes are real and have basis.

I am a trekkie, they are stereotyped as all middle aged ugly men that are bigger and have no lives.

I am quite young, NOT bigger however I dont have a life :S.

I geuss the Australian stereotype is spot on in some cases, people think we are easy going and sit around watching telly having a beer. I can say a lot of us are easygoing, not sure about the whole 'telly and a beer' thing, I am sure it is true for a lot of us just not me : D.

any that someone tries to pin me down to. i'm like a freakin' gazelle to those hunter gatherer stereotypers.

I am a trekkie, they are stereotyped as all middle aged ugly men that are bigger and have no lives.

Christians are stupid hateful people. I don't think I am (although I think someone will probably say something to the contrary).

As far as I can tell most Stereotypes about the French are untrue... or apply purely to Parisians. In fact, 2 weeks in France and I met one rude French person, however he was a public transit worker and that may have had something to do with it.

really? because one week in france and i don't even think i met one nice frenchman. they were all rude buggers... and they couldn't wait in line either. in disneyland, i had to organise a little floodgate with one of my mates to stop them trickling past us on our way to pirates of the caribbean...

I hate the steryotype that all emo people cut themselves, where black and whine. I am creating a thred just for that.

Speak the truth.

OT:Iceland is not all that icy.Greenland is icier.

Well, one stereotype I was always baffled by was the WWII-era Japanese stereotypes. Everyone in America thought all Japanese were bone thin, wore huge horn-rimmed glasses, had thin mustaches and constantly sported ridiculously goofy toothed grins. I know this is a caricature of Tojo, but did they seriously think every Japanese looked like that?

By the way, I'm not Japanese. I'm a Jewish American of Polish, Belorussian, and Austrian decent. Which defies the stereotype that the people on this forum would only talk about their own stereotypes. Ha!

I loved that episode! The new ones aren't bad either.

There is no difference between Cuba and Mexico. I hear this a lot:

Fucktard: Are you Mexican?
Me: No, I'm Cuban
Fucktard: What's the difference?
Me: I hate you.

 

[The_Echo]

I'm Irish, trust me....we are.

Well acording to your profile you're American.

America is where he's living, not his ancestry. Unless you descend from Native Americans, like I do, American really isn't a heritage.

On topic: Er... the gamer stereotype(s). They're mostly wrong.

 

[ZonerZ]

That all southerners were racist. That was just a rumor started by the blacks. Before anyone takes me seriously, that's considered a joke where I live.

"If you're wearing all black your goth"
"So I'm goth if I dress like Abe Lincoln, Darth Vader, Batman, or the Black Power Ranger?"

 

[seryoga]

Aren't all stereotypes wrong? I thought that's why they were stereotypes.

Exactly. And you irish do enjoy a good drink, stop lying.

doesnt almost anyone enjoy a good drink?

That every person who is gay is then also a fairy and talks with a lisp.


Annoying as hell.

"you straightened your hair? I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE GAY!"

I personally dislike the stereotype that Jews are greedy and stingy with money. I'm not saying it's completely false, we Jews do seem to like and be smart with money, and some may be stingy, but keep in mind that many Jews are also good people. So I hate hearing about how Jews never tip and things like that, because that's not true.

Yeah, but my bf's bosses are kinda stereotypical...I've noticed that.

And the whole thing about all German's being Nazi's is completely wrong...seriously, that can mess with someone's mind.
