I'm black and I can dance. If a woman is hitting on me, it's usually a white one. Umm... other well known black stereotypes (although I can't taste melon of any type: Honeydew, watermelon, any).
I'm a New Yorker. So I freaking hate tourists. I'm trying to walk. Don't bring your family, cut off the street, and have them pose for a stupid picture. This is a vacation place for you, but I got jobs and friends to get to.
I used to really be afraid that my picture would end up on a mantle piece of some Japanese couple would who start a fetish over it. Partly because I was one seriously weird geeky kid.

Irish - I love almost anything to do with potatoes as long as they still taste vaguely like potatoes. (Putting garlic and cheese and bacon in mashed potatoes so they've got a weird texture and I can barely taste potato in there is heresy.)
I was raised Roman Catholic. I'm an atheist now.
I don't drink much, I don't really like the taste of alcohol, and I've never been really drunk, per se, but I see this as a flaw that must be overcome at some point rather than a point of pride.
English - I love tea. All kinds. (Except that Lipton's crap that tastes like hot browned water.)
American - I care way too much about my heritage. (Okay, my dad DID come from Ireland, so it's not that far removed, but still.)
Burgers and fries are appropriate substitutes for healthy food. Ketchup is practically a vegetable. Soda is like water. Water that's AWESOME.
I'm overweight. (Not obese or anything, but I jiggle.)
New Jerseyan - I swear a lot. However, I also know when not to swear.
I care too much that the characters on "The Jersey Shore" are not actually from New Jersey.
Gamer - I wear nerdy clothes: T-shirts with catchphrases and characters on them and an ostentatiously adorable panda hat.
I wear glasses. Sexy, sexy glasses.
I played D&D for most of my childhood.
I don't really talk to people much.
Girl - I like pink.
Every time I see a baby I make noises like this: "oh wook at da widdle baby wid da widdle teefies and da widdle eyes and is so pwecious and eeeeeee"
I am afraid of bugs. Yes, I know they're smaller than me. Yes, I know most of them won't hurt me. They're still creepy. Stop making fun of me and go kill them.
I like anything with a decently-told love story.
English major - I will correct people's grammar and spelling.
I care way too much about the English language.
In conversation, I have actually been known to say things like: "Oh, did you know that word comes from a Latin word that means..." and "That book was written in 18something-or-other by author What's His Face and is meant to really talk about gobbledegook-no-one-cares-about."
I pre-wrote, revised, and edited this very post, and I spent way too damn long doing so.

Um, I'm Hispanic and I like to eat beans and rice?
Yeah, I know what I am, but I don't fall under any specific stereotype. In fact, I don't think I've ever been discriminated against in my life. I've never even been mistaken for a White person despite me having a light complexion and being very fluent in English.

Not quite - I don't like people who only like easy listening music. On the other hand, I can usually tolerate them well enough (I believe I am friends with some, we just don't talk about music)... so long as they don't get that bizarre reverse-elitism attitude I've seen on places like Metacritic or some punk-y magazines (and Robert Christgau. Fuck him).Matthew94 said:
Let's see...
I would call myself a typical fat geek. Not like a 'geek' woman who is just a sexy lady in a pair of fake glasses. I'm also pale as hell and can act a bit like a social recluse at times.
British... I have very bad teeth. Braces will hopefully be an option some time in the future.
I complain about the weather a lot XD but apart from that I'm usually quite bouncy and happy.
I haven't had a cup of tea in days, I drink mainly coffee now.
My grandma on my dads side was Polish, so that makes me quarter? I don't think I fit any of their stereotypes, apparently they drink a lot and are miserable. o_o
EDIT: Oh, the hard working thing... I suppose I try quite hard. Certainly not lazy, at least.

I am Swedish and I am often shy or socially reserved. I dont look very Swedish or Scandinavian though, I have more of a Waloon-like face.
I'm from belgium.
Stereotypes: I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE fries with mayonaise. Also I refuse to call them french fries because the french's fries suck. (no offense)
I like my beers. I like stella, maes, jupiler, hoegaarden, leffe, kriek, chimay, karmeliet, tripel carmeliet, ambiorix, belle vue,... Those are the most that I like to drink. For a full list of all the beers made in my country <link=http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijst_van_Belgische_bieren>I refer you to this wikipage, it's in dutch but that doesn't matter.

And as a last bit and some of you might have heard about this. I'm a dutch speaking Belgian person. So I am not very fond of the french speaking Belgian people. I got no problem with the french from France. Just the ones in belgium. them damn french *shakes fist*

Rural American with more guns than people in my house. Also more swords than guns, and more computers than swords, to be fair (and break stereotype). Back to the stereotype, I own three automobiles, and (breaking stereotype again) use all of them regularly. [stereotype]Listen to a lot of metal, classic and southern rock[/stereotype] can't stand most country, and I listen to a lot of obscure hip-hop.
Geek. Been playing D&D since I was 12. My dice shall be in my grave, for they are a part of me. I own this shirt [http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/388b/], but I only mean it if I don't know you.
Ex-military. Lots of classic antisocial behavior, paranoid in crowds, and I sometimes react violently to the sound of explosions. Also, trouble sleeping... long hair and a beard now, too. I love having the freedom to grow such things on my head.
Mostly Scandinavian by blood, and I'm a barrel-chested, broad shouldered, brown haired, blue eyed, hairy sonofabitch who tolerates cold weather extremely well. Also, I hate deserts. Especially hot ones where people burn dried shit at night.
...I keep thinking of more. From the pacific northwest and I hate cheap fizzy yellow beer... and pilsners in general (serious. I've sampled the best local pils all over Deutschland. Hated 'em all. Weitzens were a bit more tolerable, but too damn sweet. I drank English beer there, mostly). I like my beer hoppy (some say bitter, those people have weak tastebuds), dark and heavy.

I'm a natural blonde and despite being quite intelligent, sometimes I have the common sense of a twiglet.
I love pink even though I'm a bit of a tomboy really. If I can get something in pink I will. Apart from clothes.
I'm a socially awkward geek and I will talk a guy to death about video games before anyone can stop me. Even if he is like a brodude or something.
I own lots of cats...

Ginger homeschooler here. I've got no soul (of my own anyways), I talk over people's heads without trying to (not hard around here), and I love to hide in dark places with a good book while ignoring the existence of the world (bit of both there really).
Obvious nerd, blahdi blah.
I'm not quite sure which nationalities I am. I know I'm a bit Polish, and I've certainly got their predilection for getting caught in fights with noticeably stronger foes (Although I tend to fare rather better than they do). But I like to associate myself with the Scots, at least in part because I find kilts to be very comfortable.
