What stereotypes are you guilty of?

[skips]

A majority of stereotypes have at least some degree of truth as a foundation. So, Escapist: what ethnic/cultural/class/other stereotypes fit you to a tee?

Personally, as a Canadian I say "eh" a lot and pronounce it "aboot."
As a gamer, I'm quite pale.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

Hm, I don't usually fit stereotypes. I'm British but I hate tea and I have pretty good teeth. I am a gamer but I am not really pale nor a psychopathic killer waiting to happen.

I guess I am unconventional..

 

[Drakane]

I'm from Nebraska, own guns, and like to drive big trucks in the mud/dirt/river all while drinking... so yea

 

[Thaluikhain]

You know that thing where a minority group you're not in that you get privileged over mentions how it's unfair, and you immediately want to explain to them at lenght how they are wrong? I have a bit of that.

Lesbian, vegetarian, left-wing commie hippie right here. The nightmare of the Nixon era! Although, some stereotypes are way off; I don't listen to folk music, and I never wear plaid or any of those associated lesbian stereotypes.

 

[Scde2]

Pretty much all of the emo fashion stereotypes. I wear skinny jeans, make up, have dyed black hair with blue highlights...I don't think that I need to go on...
Plus I'm pretty pale.

But I don't cut or listen to screamo.

 

[hittite]

I'm an out of shape pasty nerd who spends way too much time in darkened rooms staring at shiny rectangles.

 

[Thaluikhain]

and I never wear plaid or any of those associated lesbian stereotypes.

...

Ok, there's a joke about not wearing lesbian stereotypes in there, but I can't think of a way to phrase it without it seeming dirty.

 

[OakTaooper]

I actually manage to balance between a lot of stereotypes that are typical for my area. Kind of a 'jack of all trades, ace of none' thing, except with stereotypes.

 

[twaddle]

i'm of african decent and i like chicken. Not fried chicken , just chicken. Also i'm a fat geek, working on changing that

 

[dakorok]

I generally try to avoid stereotypes.

I'm a gamer with a social life, I'm a guy who respects women, etc.

I thought a Melissa Etheridge compilation CD and flannel came standard? Also, is the whole U-Haul thing true?

I enjoy Lady Gaga and I'm gay (I don't dance though). Specific to gay male stereotypes, I'm white and upper-middle class. I also enjoy clothes and fashion to a certain extent. I'm from the NYC area and I have a general distrust of strangers. I also have a tendency to talk a bit fast and be impatient, even if I'm not in any rush.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I am....hmmmmm white i guess, i love in hio....not much to stereotype except for farmers.....but im not a farmer...

 

[TWRule]

I'm really afraid that I'm going to end up filling into the "head-in-the-clouds" philosopher-scholarly type when I get older.

Then again I'll probably still be playing video games when I'm that age so that might break the mold.

 

[Th37thTrump3t]

I'm a Hispanic-american who listens to heavy metal/screamo, acts like a white kid, treats women nice, and is an avid gamer with an avid social life. I am like the Anti-stereotype.

 

[Astoria]

I'm laid back and love a day at the beach. Take a guess where I'm from.

 

[DesiPrinceX09]

I am a gamer that doesn't get out much and is somewhat antisocial. I am also very skinny (I don't work out much if at all)

I am an Indian/Pakistani that loves extremely spicy food (especially curries) and Mathematics (I am an accounting major).

I am also Mexican from mom's side and I love tacos and burritos.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

I am white. Not sure what stereotypes are associated with that.

I am a gamer and very pale.

 

[FalloutJack]

Pretty sure I don't fulfill any Irish, Italian, or Pittsburghian traits...unless you count a love of proper Italian food and the ownership of a Terrible Towel. (Okay, the towel definitely counts.) However, on the American level, I definitely have this gutsy "Want to kick your ass at times" thing going. However...it's better aimed than the actual nation, so that might actually cancel it out.

 

[x0ny]

Bit of a nerd, I spend most of my free time playing games, I studied not only computer science at university but also maths. I'm also Chinese, and we're stereotyped to be good at maths, I'm alright at maths, wouldn't say I'm brilliant. Plus I'm pale even for a white person, let alone a Chinese person.
