Well, I don't really know what stereotypes a costa rican embodies, but my skin is fairly white-ish (I just got a wild tan on my arms and face Trucker Style) same as a lot of people here (But I heard from a German buddy we weren't what he expected). Also I'm really good at this northen language. So good sometimes people ask me where I come from since Costa Ricans can't speak english... Like at all (Which is a false perception, just that most of the time they can't get rid of the heavy accent. Considering we have plenty of places that offer tech support via phone to the U.S. I've had co-workers that were confused for people from India).
Also I can use the Internet, which a girl once via MESSENGER of all things asked me (She was from the US.) "Do you have Internet in Costa Rica???" I was like Wow... "Yes..." I replied.
Ohh ohh ohh wait I got one!!!
I don't like Soccer. And that's pretty messed up for a Latin American.
Also I don't salsa or any other kind of dance.
If there was one I follow is that I have a hot temper/passionate (that latin hot blood) or that I like Spicy food but that's more like Mexican stereo stuff. I think.

I'm spanish.
Apparently I am a beaner and a mexican, even though I am as white as the snow. I am also supposed to be fucking pro at soccer, and I suck at it. To be honest when I go to america most people think I am american untill I speak and unleash my terribly thick spanish accent or actually tell someone where I am from.
Also "Lolwut Spain isn't in South America? you are kidding me right?"
I'm also a nerd. "Fix my computer". "Help me beat this boss". Those stereotypes are kind of true tho.

I'm English, born in london, I love tea, I have a bowler hat, a couple of waist coats, crooked teeth (Braces didn't help lol) I walk around in suit jackets, always wear shits and if it wasn't for the fact that all my pocket watches are broken at the mo I would wear them as well, all of them, all 6.
Oh yeah... Crumpets... mmm Crumpets and Tea...

Well, I'm a caucasian American who's into heavy metal (but I'm also into symphony, classic rock, punk, techno, a few flavors of rap, et cetera... can't stand country, though. Except for bluegrass)... I also own a whole bunch of guns... I'm a gamer/geek/sci-fi/fantasy fan who owns a whole bunch of well tempered, high carbon steel swords and knows how to use 'em... I'm an Army short-timer turned misanthropic war veteran...
...and yet, I'm not a serial murderer. Stereotype averted.

I'm an American. I am well-educated, I don't own any weapons, I am in top shape(runner here), I enjoy other nations, I dislike my government system, and I'm not religious.
ALTHOUGH
I am resentful towards the african american and hispanic minorites(You know what I'm talking about! The pants-on-the-ground, horrible grammar, blatant racism, lazy, welfare, etc, etc. Don't judge me, I'm sure at least half of you agree, any person who does any of this I resent, but it's generally hispanics and african americans in my region..)
I do indeed, think America, is #1 in alot of things...

Altho I know you're not from South America (neither am I, I'm from central America) I can feel your pain brother.
My biggest problem is when people go to "America" and they are actually talking about the country (United States of America)... America is a Continent!!! Arrgghhh I feel like I'm on crazy pills here!!
It's like, what are you/where are you from? I'm from Europe/European... Oh cool so yeah awesome Where are you from? I'm from America/american... --Oh, but you don't look american... Oh wait, you mean you are a latin american... Oh ok, that makes sense now. And I'm all like... What?
I'm black and like fried chicken (though i was under the impression that most people at least americans do as well)
I'm very attracted to white girls (once again so is everyone)
Raised by a single mother (My dad a shit sucker)
Have almost a dozen half brothers and sisters (Pops got around)
I live in the inner city( In the ghetto, in the ghetto)
Thats about though not a big fan of grape anything, saggy pants or gold plated teeth(which i always thought looked actually pretty frighting on women , pants on the head retarded on males),and i've no strong feeling toward hip hop one way are the other)
oh and I aint got no fukin job

I'm Scottish, I have a kilt and love haggis. As my American friends on XBL love teasing me about.
Oh and I have an inbuilt dislike for the English. When someone tells me they're English, it makes no difference to me and I have tons of English friends and, but that doesn't stop me mocking them for it (as a joke, and they quite happily return the favour!).
Oh, and I love bagpipe music.

In short I don't, I'm not a typical 'gamer' as I wash and exercise and maintain friendships with people I've met in real life. I'm a wild Welshman from the valleys, but I'm not an illiterate sheep fucker that chows down on leek-soup (I've never met another Welsh person who is either). I honestly can't think of one stereotype that I fit neatly into for pigeon holing purposes. Maybe penniless student but that's about it.
I am British.
I like a nice cup of tea, strawberries and cream, Her Majesty the Queen, roast dinners and sarcastic humour (to name but a few).
Also, I'm never a fan of what the government is doing regardless of the party in power (it's a British thing, we take not liking the incumbant very seriously over here).
However, I don't have a rediculously posh accent or sound like a London Chimney sweep c. 1878, I don't watch soaps on telly, and I don't brandish a rolling pin and wear curlers all day.

Thank you. Using the base word Latin to reference people of mixed Native American/Spanish descent has always bugged me. If a person from Mexico is "Latin American", then so is a French Canadian. French is a Latin-derived language too. Italian-Americans, too. Latin.Misho- said:
