I beg to differ. Jacksonville is populated one half by gangster people, one half by dysfunctional families and then by Red-Necks.The Amazing Orgazmo said:

Growing up in the Scandinavian-settled Midwest, I found that everyone expected me to have a ridiculous accent, be impervious to cold, and ride a snowmobile to work.
Um, let's see...
I'm Canadian, my mother's father is French and her mother is a Newfie, and my father is from Tanzania. I have dreads, and I'm getting a bachelor's in CS. The only stereotype that fits me is the last one: loves computers and games, plays RPG's, watches anime, reads manga, commits copyright infringement, never goes outside, eats unhealthily, etc...

I'm 14, American, I live in Miami, and am white.
14
- I shoplift everything. Ever. Even in stores I haven't even gone into yet.- Never Shoplifted.
- I am perverted and will mount anything short enough to be climbed onto.- Noooooooo...
- I am rude and do not know the value of a dollar.- Quite the opposite really.
- I watch Mtv.- No. Hell no.
- Listen to rap/horrible alterna or pop rock band number twentybazillion.- No, not my types of music.
- Is a pyromaniac.- Yes, by a lot.
American
Let's just skip this because all answers point to no.
Miami
-Goes boating constantly.- Not all the time but yes I do on occasion.
-Goes to beaches constantly- When somwhere else in Florida, yes. Not in Miami, "Beaches are for tourists" is what I was raised on as an excuse for never taking me to the beach.
-Is Cuban.- No, but 90% of my friends are.
White
-I cannot tan.- I tan pretty well actually.
-I eat lots of mayonaise.- Not really, but sometimes on a turkey sandwich.
-I'm always putting the black man down.- No, unless it's my friend Terrance, because it's funny and he does it to me too.

I'm a computer geek.
I'm bad in social situations - ...only with pretty girls ;_;
I smell funny - Nope, I have a favorite cologne that I wear and I shower every day.
I have bad fashion sense - no, I have better fashion sense than most people around me.
I am 21 and still live with my parents - ...yes

Well, I'm 3/4 Korean and 1/4 French.
So:
-Good Gamer (Usually)
-Good at math (If I were to try for once)
-Cannot play sports (Untrue, I play on my school's rugby team)
-Has perpetual "Helmet hairstyle" (No)
I'm not really sure what a French stereotype is, so I'm kind of in the dark here... Anyone want to help elaborate on this one for me?

I'm not sure with that one, depends on one's perspective on what a wussy is.Autohellion said:
I like making runs into traffic for the thrill of it, I enjoy free-running and rock-climbing, be specific with the word wussy, it could apply to a lot of fields.
Unless you're talking about the French's military history, then when it comes to a fight, I try to solve it peaceably, so yes, in a sense.
All i was saying is American culture (i live there cant say much bout anywhere else) the stereotype for french people (not that it true) is french people are wussy. ( see the new punch out, the french character is the first enemy, skinny and with a small frame.)
I am of Russian-Jewish-Hungarian descent:
-Us Russians are not all weathered and strong.
-Hungarians are, as a majority, not exactly pleasant people.
-Not all Jews are covetous, money-grubbers (just the lawyers and bankers).
-While I, myself am an admirer of Stalin, we are not all Communists (the other percentage would be monarchists
)
-The Russians in my family do actually fart and drink.
-Not all Jews hate Russians (the Cossacks still have no luck)
-Not all Hungarian politicians are corrupt. But they have recognized the Neo-Nazi party, so that's got to mean something.

You obviously forgot about the Southern states and the bill of rights.white_salad said:
I'm and Enliglish man living in Australia. I would consider myself more Australian as the majority of my life and education has taken place here. So I get best of both stereotypes; when in Australia I'm and Englishman and when in England I'm an Australian.
The funny part? This stereotype almost always comes from the guys who arrive to each war four years too late...Autohellion said:
