Stereotypes you hate being lumped into

[Communist partisan]

Hate#1, I am not a fucking Nazi because I'm a skinhead, skinheads aren't even Nazis!

Hate#2, Because I got brown eyes and black hair it doesn't mean I am a terrorist, and I'm not even from the middle east.

Hate#3 Because I threat people I don't like or disrespect like shit it doesn't mean I try to be cool or that I'm a asshole to everybody.

Quick question... How can you be a skinhead and have your black hair commented on? I'm genuinely curious.

I'm intelligent and don't hate my teachers: I must do well in school, and or am a complete prick.
(My grades are pretty much rolling a dice. And I'm only prickish to people who treat me so or arrogant idiots.)

I like games: I have no life and must play WoW.
(I've got plenty of lives! JK. I'm alive, and have friends. I don't play WoW, but apart from that, what's wrong with it? People have died playing it? 1 in a million is more of an anomaly than the rule. People get hurt and die more often in sports. If somebody does something for most of their time, guess what they're going to die doing. And even WoW causes online friends. You can't easily just cut players off from that.)

I speak to people on the internet: I'm anti social.
(What's anti social on basing friends purely on personality than looks?)

Stay in doors all the time: No life and hates the outside.
(I'm indoors a lot because I like games, and I don't have anything to do outside, because no one ever invites me to do anything and I never have idea for something to do.)

I have Aspergers syndrome and ADHD: I msut be overly hyperactive and require help.

(...I get offered help and extra time for exams instead of the dumb people. Most people don't even believe I have ADHD, because apparently everyone's an expert in it.)

I say I'm misanthropic: I must hate EVERYONE, FOR NO REASON. And I must hate life, and should kill myself to avoid being with people.
(I have reasons, and even though I hate humanity as a whole, I give every individual an individual chance...and then hate them. It's not my fault if they suck.)

Atheist: I must hate religious people.
(I don't hate them. I'm only going to get annoying if they annoy me by ignorantly disagreeing with things without any explanation apart from "God did it". I'm only going to yell if they do that or try to convert me. I can get along with logical people that are religious. I don't mind if someone talks sense, and doesn't hate science, and so happens to believe in God. I think Science and Religion could be compatible, even if God is powerful enough to be beyond logic.)

My vocabulary is better than yours: Must be an attention seeking nerd that reads the dictionary.
(No...and a thesarus would work better.)

The British Stereotype gets on my nerves, sure, I may be a tea drinking, crumpet eating Brit, but I am not gay and I do not have bad teeth, the whole bad teeth thing has been redundant for quite a damn long time now anyway.

Apparently our hygeine on teeth is statistically better than the US, we just don't care as much cosmetically as them (i.e. some people don't want their teeth straightened).

 

[C2Ultima]

Well, being American, I hate the idea that most people from other countries would consider me to be a fat couch potato, who sits around watching TV, waving a flag and shouting for war. That's a bit of a disquieting thought.

Then there's also the way people think that someone who likes video games as much as I do cannot possibly have a life, or partake in any physical activity whatsoever, regardless of the fact that I play tennis year round.

.....

A skinhead don't need to be 100% shaved, the original skinheads had about 3-5 mm some does even have small mowhawks and Suedeheads usually have 1 cm or a little more, problem?

"Suedehead" a original skinhead just with a bit longer hair and more class, pretty much the same.

I get confused for being a guy or a lesbian because I wear my hair very short. Funny enough; I'd rather they think I'm a guy than a lesbian. I can deal with that. Hell, my closefriends even call me 'Dan'...

I only talk when spoken to, so people assume I'm shy. I'm not shy; I just don't feel the need to gob on about absolutely nothing.

I'm tall and I'm pretty strong/built, so people assume I have a quick temper and looking for any reason to get into a fight, so I get pussyfooted around quite abit. Truth be told, I USED to have a temper; but it was when I was a teenager, and I didn't really know how to deal with losing my grandfather, father and favorite uncle all within the span of sixteen months. It wasn't until I hit my late teens I learned how to control my temper. Now, it takes a lot to set me off. I've heard people tell me I get this look in my eyes like I just want to tear something/someone apart. I smile; fear is better than a beat-down any day....

Ok, get it now, thanks.

Thought so, I wasn't 100% sure on the statistics but I do remember hearing that our dental hygiene is indeed better than that of the US, funny fact that, eh?

 

[DeadFOAM]

Let me think...

1) "He wears a lot of black and has long hair, therefore he must be emo/goth." This one bothers me more than it should.

2) The fat, lazy, ignorant American stereotype. First off, I'm far from fat; 6 foot 3 and 170 - 180 pounds. Second, I don't have blind patriotism for my country. Yes I love it here. No, I don't think it's perfect.

3) "He likes heavy metal, therefore he is a satanist." This is just one I got from my dad for a while.

4) "He has a speech impediment (a stutter), therefore he is retarded." I've gotten this one from teachers even. While we don't know the exact reason I stutter, the general consensus from various speech therapists is that my brain moves too fast for my mouth to keep up. By the time I say one thing, I'm already thinking about the next few things.

Those are the specific ones I can think of. I've gotten my share of gamer/musician/teenager stereotypes, but most of those have been mentioned by now.

 

[flying mong]

I really do not understand the stereotype that says the English are xenophobic. I went to America on holiday last year and not a single news report I saw on TV was about any other country. I understand your country is massive but that is still a bit on the bad side

 

[TheModWolf]

I'm not a hipster, an indie kid or a musical elitist just because i listen to obscure artists, or dress in a certain way! I don't go for a look or anything it's just the way I dress. Stop calling me a hipster!

Edit to avoid double posting: How could I forget the red hair one. Forgetting it in favor of hipster stereotypes shows how much it actually bothers me, but it's definitely a stereotype i get lumped into.

 

[Arcticflame]

Well my first name is extremely german, (and indeed I am half german) so all through kindergarten and primary school I was called hitler, nazi etc.
Especially not nice when some of my relatives were killed for being against hitler during 2nd world war, so I suppose the german stereotype is the one I hate, I mean.. it was 70 years ago...

But oh well, small children always are the most cruel.

 

[Erana]

Clearly, because I started college early, I'm a socially-inept 12-year-old.

It got a bit weird when freshman were doing this to me when I was a senior and older than them.
And for Heaven's sake, I haven't looked 12 since I was 14.

 

[SadakoMoose]

Also, how much of the entertainment factor of wrestling do you think you derive from the homoeroticism?

None. I don't watch it because of its potential for homoeroticism. A concept that many people find baffling, because apparently gay people only ever watch anything for it's gay subtext.

Is it so hard to think I watch wrestling because it's interesting and entertaining, without playing host to the misconception that I watch it to crack one off over men in pants grappling each other? I mean, have you SEEN the vast majority of wrestlers? They're ugly fucks, they really are. There's only ONE attractive wrestler in the entire WWE for god sake.

Damn straight, man.
It may be my years of wrestling fandom, but over time I've just sort of dissociated wrestling from any perceivable homo eroticism. Why do I need to be "on-guard" about that sort of thing anyway? Does it matter? You know, it's sad, but I've seen perfectly reasonable otherwise open minded people act like total dicks about pro wrestling. It gets really hypocritical after a while, what with guys that (just last week) can rip all over Jack Thompson like it's (still) 2007 being the same guys to talk about pro wrestling fans like CSI talks about gamers.
Sometimes I just don't get people.

"Ooooh, you're 275 pounds with 8% bodyfat, YOU MUST BE SLOOOOOOOOW. Ninjas are sooo fast and strong, they can throw cars with one hand and jump a thousand feet in the air! But you're just big and duuuumb!"

Curiously, the only time people say that to me after they see my photo or hear my story is on the internet where every scrawny fifteen year-old is a tough-guy. Dunno why I bothered posting this.

4) "He has a speech impediment (a stutter), therefore he is retarded." I've gotten this one from teachers even. While we don't know the exact reason I stutter, the general consensus from various speech therapists is that my brain moves too fast for my mouth to keep up. By the time I say one thing, I'm already thinking about the next few things.

I roleplayed a character with a stutter; after three months of playing that character, I had to 'purchase off' the disadvantage because I began to stutter in real life conversations. From what I understand, they used to have stutterers try to formulate the conversation in a foreign language in their head while they were speaking. I don't know if this is true or if it actually works, I just know I heard about that when I was a kid.

 

[Krafty_Krocodile]

"You're young, that means you want to rob my shop" Seriously this one IS REALLY pissing me off
"You're a teenager, therefore you like rap/hiphop" UGH i hate rap and hip hop
"You have long hair, so you must be a hippy" i usually joke around with this one but it does get annoying
"You're a gamer, thus you must like COD" Gtfo... I don't mind COD but the game isn't my sort of game, also the question "do you have a PS3 or an XBox?" also annoys me because i have neither, i'm happy with my Wii, sure its not the most hardcore system around but it suits my purpose il'd rather play Kirby epic yarn then COD.
"You own a wii therefore you are either a Pedo or a Manchild" Well excuuuuuuuse me if i want to have a bit of fun playing games that are Wii only.

"A vegetarian? He must be a pussy!"

This one, and...

"You like seeing cartoon girls get raped by tentacles?"

"Dude! I just said I like anime!"

(I don't hate them. I'm only going to get annoying if they annoy me by ignorantly disagreeing with things without any explanation apart from "God did it". I'm only going to yell if they do that or try to convert me. I can get along with logical people that are religious.
