Stereotypes: which ones are true/untrue for you?

<p>No matter what race or gender, surely you've experienced some type of prejudice because of your skin color or sex or religion or background that turns out to be completely untrue.</p>

<p>I mean, for example, I'm a chick, an Asian one at that. People always think I'm this little goody-goody, nerdy, hard-working, introverted little thing.... and are always so surprised to find out that I cuss like a damn sailor and I'm probably one of the biggest procrastinators around. I'm extremely disorganized and messy and my head is always up in the clouds. Maybe it's the fact that I never grew up with any other Asians, so the majority of my friends have always been Latino or mixed. I don't listen to any Asian music- I love Rancid and Dead Kennedys and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. </p>

<p>Still, I fall into a lot of stereotypes too... I use chopsticks, I play piano and flute, I'm good at math, I have a sometimes-hilariously crazy Asian mother (think: Ms. Swan from MADTV), I eat rice every day, I suck at any sort of physical activity (I don't know whether this is a girl stereotype or an Asian stereotype, whatevs). As a girl, I love reading about fashion and makeup, I can get heated sometimes when I'm arguing about sometimes I feel very strongly about, I get very emotional before my period, and I dig Johnny Depp.</p>

<p>Which stereotypes do you fall into, and which ones couldn't be further away from what you are? </p>

<p>( Oh yeah, and that thing about Asian girls having flat butts? Totally not true. :P )</p>

<p>Asian girls do have flat butts… its actually genetically proven. And you are evidently a nerd. The fact that you get “heated” in pointless disputes simply makes you more repulsive than you already are. Even though you cuss, the worse use of profanity you utilize is "dang!‘’ Go practice Chopin’s Ballade no.1 till your perfect at it!</p>

<p>jk, I’m also asian… my stereotypes are the same as yours, blah!</p>

<p>I am a stereotypical bisexual because I do theatre, but I don’t understad fashion or say fabulous every other word, so I don’t know. I caome from a catholic, sothern family, as stated before, I don’t foolw that stereotype.</p>

<p>Black men have big “organs”. I’m not black, but I’ve always found that one to be true. :(</p>

<p>White men can’t jump.</p>

<p>I’m Asian and I fall in the stereotype for being smart, and I used to play piano. I like gaming, and I know how to do computer programming.</p>

<p>However, I’m tall and I have an averaged sized organ (both are more related to diet than to genetics). I have a horrible GPA from my first two years of high school and I’m not Ivy League material. I can drive a car pretty damn well and I have actually won a race down the interstate before (I know it’s dangerous and stupid, but oh well). I like heavy metal, no techno or pretending to be gangster. I lean towards a Christian conservative guy and I like guns. And yes, I like guns A LOT.</p>

<p>Guns…dude me 2!!!</p>

<p>Yeah, most people think I’m too obsessed about guns and my knowledge about guns is too much. Even my friend who does more shooting than me flocks to me for some information. When I get old, I’d love to manage a gun store, or maybe become a shooting instructor.</p>

<p>I also outsmart the biggest history buffs in military history and all the rednecks in firearms knowledge. It gets ridiculous to the point where I know the best handloads for guns that they own that I don’t.</p>

<p>I definitely do not fall into the Mexican stereotype. I can’t do manuel labor to save my life, im actually smart, i don’t eat beans every day, nor do i eat tortillas with everything.</p>

<p>I’m Asian. </p>

<p>I can’t play piano to save my life/ horrendous in math/ hate science in general/ love history/ Republican/ Like Science fiction in general/ Reading crappy fiction ranking 20,000 or below in Amazon bestsellers/ Score higher on my reading section on the SAT than my Math section/ Does Quiz Bowl/ Goes to an academically underachieving high school by personal choice/ Turned down Honor Guard (along with ASB position/NHS/CSF/class representative spot)/ Like action movies/ Hated by half my teachers and liked by the rest/ Cited often for attitude problems.</p>

<p>Who gives a damn about what the ****ing stereotypes are? It’s not an Asian stereotype, its a standard top school applicant stereotype. Applicable to all top school applicants in some way or form.</p>

<p>im a girl
and yes i do go to the bathroom in large packs of people</p>

<p>lol i’m jewish and therefore, as expected, i’m sooooo cheap</p>

<p>I’m Jewish, have brown hair and brown eyes; half my family lives in NY and the other Bay Area. yes, yes, i fit the stereotype pretty well.</p>

<p>Are there any stereotypes for Russians?? Umm…I’m not a communist…</p>

<p>I’m superrr girly though. So I guess I fit the stereotype of a girl?</p>

<p>hah i’m ukrainian(or russian)
and i do not like vodka)))</p>

<p>i</p>

<p>Please look at my thread.</p>

<p>"Black men have big “organs”. I’m not black, but I’ve always found that one to be true. "</p>

<p>erm..ok..how do you know? you’ve been harassed lately?</p>

<p>Haha… this is fun. </p>

<p>Let’s see… I am a girl. I am also Hispanic. And I am from South Florida:</p>

<p>NO I cannot dance salsa
NO I do not eat spicy food
NO I do not eat seafood
NO I don’t believe in saints</p>

<p>YES I do wear flip-flops year round
YES I do own one sweater
YES I am cheap
YES I am loud</p>

<p>And I can’t think of any other stereotypes that apply to me. =)</p>

<p>I’m white, therefore I’m better than all other races?</p>

<p>Too much?</p>

<p>Heh, let’s play MythBusters: Stereotype Edition! Let’s see…</p>

<p>I’m Black: I don’t mutilate the English language, I don’t eat soul food, I’m not “ghetto”, I don’t only listen to rap and R&B, the list goes on…</p>

<p>I’m Female: I like engineering, math, science, technology, and robots. I don’t wear makeup often or put much time into what I wear, I don’t like bugs, cars, sports, being sweaty, or other icky things though</p>

<p>I’m a South Floridian: I do wear flip flops year round, and I am guilty of the longsleeves/jacket + shorts/flip flops combination, though I don’t go to the beach all the time or Disney World</p>
