Stereotypes you hate being lumped into

[AWDMANOUT]

"Oh my gosh, look at that guy! He's incredibley attractive, he must be amazing at life!"
"Oh my gosh, he's so smart too! He must be the coolest person evar!"
"Ohemgee, he has the most profound and astounding skills, talent, and personality I have ever encountered in my entire life! He must be great in bed, too!"

I mean really folks. Of course it's all true, but judging people? Poor taste. I am disappoint.

Texan:
I don't have a southern accent, except when i am talking to others that do.
I hate barbecue sauce
I do NOT want to be a cowboy, and I live in a area with Tons of grass and trees.

Teen:
I Hate Sexual jokes, after the 100 million billionth one, it gets old,
Cursing, Its just words, what use are they?

ADHD:
I do not always get distracte- [small]oh whats that over there?[/small]
i am not hyper at all, i think the only part of the H comes out when im incredibly happy or nervous
i can concentrate very well, that is when someone is not talking loudly or eating OR USING HIS/HER PHONE OR BEING A DOUCHE OR [small](Grumble... Grumble... Grumble...)[/small] Etcetera.

The kid that wants to actually learn in school: [small]omigodwhatalooser[/small]
i dont hate Everything, im just asking you to be quiet so i can concentrate (as seen above)



and somehow, i actually thought myself how not to judge people based upon looks.

"She's blonde... Talk slow, she's probably a ditz."

It aggravates me beyond belief when I'm treated like an idiot because of my hair color.

You do have GIR as your profile picture...... its not helping.

Anyway, my turn to complain!!
One i've gotten a lot from girls is "white guy, he goes down."
I mean, its a minor complaint but its kinda aggravating going into that situation with that expectations to meet.
Have no complaints doin it, its just annoying.

 

[Hollock]

I don't like being a "teen" and all that entails

Hate #2: The Actor Stereotype: Again, I am not gay, I do not constantly seek attention, I am not going to bore you with a load of theatric jargon you don't care about, and I will not break out into verse of song anywhere and everywhere just because you fucking ask me too!

Amen to that friend. I grew up in a hick town in rural Louisiana, so all through high school I got "He wants to be an actor. That means he's a queer!" Then I'd laugh because these would usually be guys covered in camouflage, wearing work boots and baseball caps and chewing tobacco, i.e. the living embodiment of a redneck sterotype. Which brings me to my main one:

Yes, I am from the South. Yes, I speak like I've had a good education, and I went to college. No, I don't have an accent. No, it is not like the movie Deliverance. We don't live in shacks in the swamp, we don't have pet alligators. We're not missing all our teeth, and we don't bone our close relatives. We are exactly like you, except where we live there are (usually) less skyscrapers, and more trees.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Owning a horse just because I live in Corrales.[footnote]That's Corrales, the small village outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico[/footnote] Not ALL of us own horses. Only most of us.

Also, any stereotype related to being a twin/triplet. Yes, I know I look nothing like my brother. I OBVIOUSLY must be lying about being related.

Hehe, I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Anyways, I really dislike the "creepy" steryotype, as well as the "ignorant American" and "Christian" steryotypes that have been mentioned previously here.

 

[Zergadooful]

I'm CLEARLY ignorant, xenophobic, and extremely patriotic because I planning on joining the Navy. Obviously not for the stable job and good benefits. >_<

 

[TsarinaFai]

I hate the Gothic stereotypes. Yes I'm gothic but I have no motivation to kill you and I do NOT worship the devil.

Out of curiosity, how much of that do you get on this site? A fair bit would be my guess, but considering you're kinda-sorta-new here, you might have lucked out so far.
*snippity snip snip*

Actually, not so much HERE, probably because I'm not a very active forumite and I steer well clear of religion/politics topics. But in the outside world...

Among my friends and acquaintances, there are a number with some very negative views towards religion in general and Christianity in particular, and I try to be a balancing voice and an example of a Christian who isn't all about Bible-thumping and baby-eating.

Of course, a lot of them feel that way because of the rather poor behavior displayed by certain... folks who claim to be Christian. Lookin' at YOU, Westboro. Yeah, I got a personal bone with you guys (in addition to just not liking you 'cause you're jerks.) It seems like every time I get someone to make the teeniest little concession that maybe not all Christians are intolerant pricks, you guys do some other stupid thing and reinforce all their negative stereotypes and I have to start all over again.

 

[Artina89]

1. Yes I am british, but I do not have bad teeth and I do not think England is the greatest country on the face of this planet. Nor do I long for the days of the British empire.

2. I come from the north of England so I must be a farmer. No. I come from Leeds which is one of the most metropolitan areas in the country.

3. I come from a council estate so I must be a chav and/or stupid. I don't think I am stupid, and I am not a chav.

Ouch. That sounds... pretty terrible, really. Sorry to hear that. Best of luck, though, hopefully it won't last.

I hate being labled a 'emo' or 'goth kid' just because I enjoy wearing black punky clothing. No I am not going to stab you in the throat, no I am not going to smash windows of trains, I'm going to sit here peacefully.

Hate #1: The British Stereotype: No I am not gay, I am not xenophobic, I am not going to instantly assume I'm better than you, I will make an effort to learn your language, AND NO I DO NOT LIKE TEA!

always the tea... but you missed out that we live in castles and everyone's met the queen!

And that everyone loves the queen.

And that everybody speaks like Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins...God I hate that film.

"He stutters, so he must be mentally ill."
"He only talks with 2 people and barely acknowledges anyone else, he must be a psychopath."

Hey, arseholes. Maybe I don't like talking to you because you assume I'm mentally ill because I stutter.
Can't win either way.

 

[antidonkey]

Well, I'm from Texas so according to the various stereotypes I'm a gun toting/loving bible beating uncultured fat redneck racist republican. I'm none of those things and I don't even live in Austin. Sure I'm not the norm but there's plenty of other like me.

 

[PrinceofPersia]

Lets stereotypes that I get lumped into that irk me.

Irk #1: Yes, I was born in Iran, no that does not mean my family or I are terrorists. This happened to an uncle of mine who had a successful law firm back in the 90's have some guy come out and plainly state because he was from Iran that automatically made him a terrorist. My uncle could barely stand to watch actual blood from a cut or injury was labeled a terrorist. And no I don't support the government of Iran cause, like certain "I'm an REAL AMERICAN" politicians here, their full of hot air liars that love power.

Irk #2: Yes, I'm male, yes I do like women, no that doesn't automatically mean I am trying to get into a girls pants when I am being nice to one. I'm nice to men too and to most folks in general unless I'm driving or you tick me off than all bets are off.

Irk #3: Yes, I like games of all varieties from cards, consoles, boards, PC, puzzles, to MMO's and Pen and Paper games. That does not mean I am a shut-in with no friends or life nor do I live in the basement of my parents home. And no Mr. Thompson none of my years of playing violent video games turned me into a antisocial killing machine ready to commit a Columbine or Virginia Tech rampage at the drop of a hat. I learned the difference between reality and fantasy early on in life.

Irk #4: Yes, I work in the IT field. No, that does not mean I have a knack at fixing anything electronic, I just read the instructions. Also, that does not mean I am willing to give you free technical support 24/7/365, I do that at work because they PAY me. However if your willing to provide me with food, drink, and some entertainment (not necessarily in that order) than I might feel obligated to give you a hand.

Irk #5: Yes, I like manga and anime probably because unlike western comic books some of them have a definite beginning, middle, and end. No that does not mean I have an anime pillow case, nor do I inject random japanese phrases into my speech, and once again I am not a shut-in otaku with no social skills.

Phew that felt good. Carry on citizens!

1. Texan Stereotype- Just because im from Texas doesnt mean that i have a six shooter, a ten gallon hat or a horse. also im a democrat so theres that

2. Indian(from the subcontinent) Stereotype- actually i only kind of hate this one. sometimes i like to mess with people and have them believe im a fresh off the boat desi but later on show them what im about. that usually messes with their minds

3.Complete Nerd stereotype- i love video games, MTG, and reading but i know at least as much as just about anyone when it comes to sports, i love playing baseball, tennis and racquetball and im an avid drummer

 

[Nouw]

Asian Nerd.

I don't mind as long as they don't treat me as such, it is not my problem they're ignorant twats.

 

[The Almighty Aardvark]

I haven`t read all 7 pages so I apologize if mine have been repeated to death.

The biggest stereotype I hate fitting into is that of a guy. I can do stuff with girls without having the slightest interest in sleeping with them. Heck I can even go to India for a month with two of them and not spend all my time planning a threesome.

I`m almost positive this one has been done to death: Being a geek. I fit into that category on almost every single front, manga/anime, videogames, tabletop rpgs, interest in science and books. Even though I love all those things I can still be physically fit. This is not so much a stereotype that people make about me anymore (4 years of competitive climbing tends to make your muscles somewhat more obvious) but one that people make about most of my friends before meeting them. Also it doesn't automatically make them socially inept. Some of my most charismatic friends are geeks. Unfortunately for my argument I very clearly fall into the "socially challenged" category.
