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..

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

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.

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.
