What stereotypes are you guilty of?

[Jackpot524]

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

I say "eh?" more than the average person should, but I'm not from down east so I rarely hear a geuniene "aboot" and I never say it myself, except in a joking manner.

Other than that, here are my other stereotypical Canadian quirks:
-I apologize a lot. (even for stuff I really don't need to)
-I overuse "Thank you," often inserting it several times into a single sentence.
-I injest more maple products then any sane person should. (Maple syrup, maple fudge, maple candies, etc.)

Perhaps one day I'll be a Mountie, but I'll refuse to sing...

My attempt to carry out a childhood dream of looking like Qui-Gon Jinn (long brown hair + beard) seems to be fitting together with my current position in a folk music duet to present the hippie-folk musician stereotype.

I from the the American southwest and I have more guns than I need and less than I want.

I fit the classic Coloradan stereotype.

I love hiking, skiing, rafting and so forth; I know what a 14er is; I've walked barefoot in the snow plenty of times and I've eaten ice cream in a snowstorm (I had to wait for the bus); John Elway is king; I always pass you flatlanders whenever I drive on the interstate through Glenwood Canyon or just whenever there is snow; I know what Rocky Mountain Ousters are; I've been to timberline; and all the stuff about altitude.

We're starting to get hippie/stoner stereotypes, but I don't fit in with those which is why I said I fit the classic Coloradan stereotype. I think that's the only kind of stereotype that I fit. Slacker is more of a description rather than a stereotype so that doesn't work and everything else doesn't really fit.

One: There is no such thing as too much maple products. Two: What is a Mountie?

 

[THE M3RCENARY]

I'm s completely pasty white nerd who listens to RUSH, loves Asian women, and plays with knives and fire.

AM I KEWL NAO?

 

[lettucethesallad]

Dark-haired swedish rockabilly chick here with right-wing ideals. So no. Can't say you'd peg me as a gamer from the start either, but get me going on the subject and you'll be surprised.

 

[messy]

I'm English and food wise I do seem to prefer British food above all else. I am often found

"Ordering the blandest thing on the menu" to quote Goodness Gracious Me.

However my teeth are nice and white and straight. I also like the use of the word "and" when a comma would do.

Dude...you missed the best fucking thing about Colorado...we live in the Napa Valley of beer!

 

[Penguinness]

I'm English and from Yorkshire, so let's go.

-My teeth aren't in bad condition, they did however require braces to push into position.
-I was more of a coffee drinker, until now when I switched over to tea.. so that's another.
-We have the Sunday Roasts, not every sunday but quite often, and I love Yorkshire Puddings. We also have brunch occasionally, not as much as we used to.
-One stereotype is that "northerners" love ale and hate larger. That's kinda true to me too. I hate clubs and always prefer pubs, especially if they have a selection of ales.
-I hate crumpets.. however I do like english muffins, so that might count as one.

 

[Verp]

I'm a Finn and I hate small talk and curse a lot.

That's all I can really think of right now -- I don't fit the other stereotypes very well and I don't even know what existing stereotypes there might be for some of the things I am. I mean, even the profession I study is so little known that I have to explain it to people and it's still likely they don't know what it's really about. Not to mention my sexual orientation, gender identity, the political movements I support, my lifestyle choices...

I'm very much against my stereotypes, actually. Well, I guess I do have one. My friend said that most white men actually have this racial preference, and it's kind of a classic stereotype.
As a man who has an appreciation for a woman's glutes, I tend to lean in the direction of black women/Latino women. I mean, I'm open to all women and I seriously do put the mind above the body. However, if I were to choose between a smart white woman, a smart black woman, a smart Asian woman, I'd roll black every time.

So, yeah. I didn't even know "white guy goes for black/latino girl first" was a stereotype.
...And I can't jump for shit. V_V

 

[the clockmaker]

I am an Irish background-convict descended working class Australian who works with kangaroos, has been attacked by a crocadile, can survive in the bush, calls everyone mate, says 'fuck' every second sentence, makes up insane stories to tell tourists, is part aborigonie and has convinced yanks to smear toothpaste on the back of their neck while on a hike. I am also capable at sport and fond of racist jokes, (because hey, everyone on earth (who isn't a tosser, regardless of race is an Aussies mate, and what's a few cracks between mates?)

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE

 

[Cyberjester]

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.

Oo, oo, and then you get called racist, sexist and are socially alienated?!

Yea..

rofls

I'm white and can't dance.
I'm part Russian and have a ludicrous alcohol tolerance.

Part Ukrainian, which is close enough to Russian. Tried to get drunk once, see what it was all about. A liter of vodka, 5 beers, half a bottle of Kahlua later, I gave up and went back to my games. I don't so much have a tolerance as an immunity.

I'm a nerd who likes martial arts, all martial arts though, not Asian arts only. Fencing just happens to be awesome. Part Canadian and I'm fine with the cold, terrible in the heat. No gf, so that fits the nerd stereotype. Reserved in public, which apparently fits the Ukrainian stereotype. Although I quite like the Russian accent and language and politically I'm supposed to hate them. Granted, at the fall of the Soviet Union, Ukraine emerged fairly well off given that it was a central point for Russian occupation.

I don't really fit any Australian stereotypes, I dislike getting wasted and faking liking people. I regard the majority of beers as pathetic. And I have a vocabulary that includes more than generic USA'ian black talk.

I do like Vegemite though.. Yes, it's the leftovers from beer production scraped off the bottom of the barrel, but it tastes alright and economically speaking it lasts a while.

 

[Rachel317]

Off the top of my head, I can't think of many that I fit into.
I can drive, park and parallel park quite competently, I can't cook, I don't talk a hell of a lot, I don't hate sex, I'm relatively funny SOME of the time (usually when I'm not trying to be, unfortunately), I'm never in the kitchen (although I suspect that's got more to do with sexist oppression than anything)...

However, I DO make a pretty good sandwich, I'm pretty much a wimp (other than during child birth, a woman's pain tolerance is WAY lower than a guy's), I'm not particularly strong...hmm, maybe I fit into more stereotypes than I have initially thought of

I'm from England and am not stereotypically English. As someone earlier on said, I don't like tea, have good teeth, and am rather sexually open/aggressive. We all know that women in English pornos are dressed in long, floor-touching skirts, and you never see anything beyond the ankles and wrists.

 

[lionsprey]

Well I am a Swedish person that's tall and kinda blonde with blue eyes so I guess I fit that stereotype

 

[vxicepickxv]

I'm a sailor. One of these days I'm going to clean up all these fucking empty beer cans and throw them out, but I need to go donate blood so I can get a six pack and get buzzed.

I'm a pale geek(Well, okay, I've actually got a farmer's tan, but not by choice; I've had it for so long I think it's permanent)

I'm from the south, and am looking at getting some firearms. Probably a hunting rifle and a shotgun.

 

[MikhailGH]

I am gaming too much, and not planning to do less.

 

[ActiveCancer]

I fit into the, typical red P plater area, drive like a complete spastic, music loud, terrible car (bombed out commodore) and fire up really easily.

 

[Soxafloppin]

British/Irish here, I do drink a lot of tea.....and I'm found of spuds.
