You know you've either been or have stereotyped. Now name some of them.
Keep it civil or else I will detonate the bomb. ;)

Someone once called me "a stereotypical male"

i walked away chuckling

i am most definitely not a stereotypical male

That was pretty damn funny.
You're rather far from the stereotypical male...

:D

exactly!

but i wasnt about to argue the point with her on that basis

Hmmm, I once got called a Nazi since I have blonde hair and blue eyes and at the time a crew cut.

At one time or another I've also been asked if I was Irish, Scottish, Swedish, German, Polish and Estonian. I think the first two are due to my red beard.

I've also been stereotyped as a chauvinist because of my education. I have a B. Eng. It was really weird, I was having a perfectly friendly conversation with this woman at a bar when the topic of education came up, she said she had and English degree, when I said Engineering she called me a chauvinist and walked away. Bloody wierd.

I've stereotyped neo-cons as weak, bullying losers who live to lick the hand of power in the hopes that they might catch a few crumbs. I know it's wrong to stereotype but I still can't find any evidence to the contrary.

And I've stereotyped Chemical Engineers as just plain weird, and there is nothing you can do to convince me otherwise. (It's envy really, they can synthesize their own drugs, while I have to give blowjobs to filthy bikers of questionable hygiene in puke drenched back-alleys)

This must be the two most famous stereotypes of the XXieth century.

You've got both blond hair and a red beard? Must be something to see.

My most recent ex was fascinated by them. Of course, she turned out to be psycho, but the ego boost was nice while it lasted. My eye colour causes the most debate. I've got a narrow rim of brown around the pupils and the rest of the iris seems to change colour with the seasons from bright green to dark blue... Again, the ex liked to point that out.

Have a pic? Sounds interesting, like been on an acid trip interesting.

Indeed. Didn't see it at first.

Frayed knot. All my spare tech cash has gone to buying simulation software. Next I'm going to get some actual Ram and a processor that isn't a glorified abacus.

What do you have now?

Everything in Saudi Arabia and Iraq is made out of sand.

Muslims are suicide bombers.

Southerners are inbred rednecks.

Canadians say "aboot."

France and its war history.

France and its odor.

Britain and their teeth.

Plus tons more.

12-0, a unified poll!

Something like 300MHz PIII w/ 256MB RAM.

The whole thing is a Frankenputer made up of stripped parts from network nerd friends 'obsolete' comps. About the only thing I've spent money on is the 40GB hard drive, I'm currently saving up to get a real computer. With an actual licenced operating system (maybe)

Surprised its still working.

That makes two of us. It's a real joy to turn on the music and watch my connection speed decrease. What are you running?

Yes...because I'm from Toronto, Canada (damn westerners think it's fine to insult us, but when we insult them, they get uppity!)

Apropos of what? It's dead true though, durn westerners are so defensive when it comes to us who live in the Center of the Universe. I live at Jane and Eg. You?

Yonge and Eg. ^_^

Heck, even Ottawa is very biased. I lived there and they were so anal and were horribly racist. They (mostly) stereotyped Torontonians for sport.

I did two years in thunder bay. It was... odd.

I get stereotyped as a terrorist or crazy Muslim, even though I am not Islamic. The funny thing is though, people think I'm southern european until I tell them I'm Iranian. Actually, when I say I'm Persian, I get a better response than if I say Iranian.

Nice proof of the ignorance of racists. Do you think they ever actually pick up a book? (Besides Mein Kampf)

...

I'm Asian. Enough said?

I'm not sure, mine is a used one, but its an NEC C700.

I'm afraid I get stereotyped all the time now that I'm "old." It's the last remaining socially acceptable stereotype.

I'm an Italian from Boston. People always ask me if I know people in the mob.

I do, but that's beside the point.

ROFL: This goes on bash.org...

I'm blonde, female, 20, and my last name is Smart.

Yeah, I've heard most of 'em.

Heh, if you were Polish you'd have a monopoly on them. :D

I'm a mutt. It's probably in there somewhere.

Irish, English, German, Jewish, I think some Russian, and probably some Polish too.

Someone asked me once if I my Irish, English, and German parts ever argued with each other. I punched him.

I've been stereotyped as the typical goody-goody nerd girl. The expectations of me doing work, taking notes, and paying attention are quite wrong though. High marks do not equal trying.

I shoplift, get high, do drugs at school, get drunk, go on benders, party, and stay on honour roll with minimal effort.

Go me.

What is bash.org?

Chat quotes. Go there and read some. They're very entertaining.

As well you should have. When people ask me if I know people in the mob, I just say yes. They either laugh and don't believe me, or they quiet down right quick.

Let's see, a half black guy living in Rural Saskatchewan? Yeah been there before. It's an interesting site to see when people find out i'm black as, I act nothing like the black people on T.V. nine times out of ten there's usually an awkward silence for about 30 seconds until someboyd changes the topic.

Yes, as a "Westerner"(what a stupid fucking term if you ask me) I too have been sterotypical of people from Toronto, sorry can't help it. And B.C as well, mind you, it's because every person from B.C. i've met loves the mary jane.

Someone link me to wherever this is on bash.org

The b3ta website did a Question of The Week on Stupid Things you've Heard/Read/Seen a while ago, and someone posted some graffiti that he/she had read, espousing some racist, stereotyped notions: "F*ck off back to Africa, Pakis!"

Elicited quite a giggle.

I have been stereotyped as a big fat guy
Just because I'm 6'10" aand over 300 pounds doesn't mean I'm a big fat guy
Bloody 6'0" shortarses

Yes...I've been called a hick by people who've never even met me simply based on the fact that I live in Georgia.

I wear glasses therefore I go to Star Trek convos, read Superman comics and go to bed at 9pm.

Bastards. I'll get them all in the end.

does anyone want really want to read an arms length list that i could post here about the trillion things people think about me? i think not.....

I have ADD and Asperger's, and I'm shy. In high school, I got lumped in with other troubled/disabled/remedial-type kids who just "needed to be brought out of their shell and helped to fit in normally". SO ANNOYING. :mad:

I'm Italian from Brooklyn and now in NJ. I know what you mean.

Obviously, we are all stereotyped. There are far too many stereotypes for one not to fit into at least one of them. I've been stereotyped as a tomboy/lesbian, redneck, weirdo, teacher's pet, and so many others that I just can't think of right now.

Continue.

No.

*pokes you with a stick and runs like mad incase it detonated your suicide bomb* :D

Prepare to die *reveals vest full of explosives*.... just kidding.

Nice proof of the ignorance of racists. Do you think they ever actually pick up a book? (Besides Mein Kampf)

Probably not, some might, but most don't.

The thing about racism though, is I know many people who aren't European descended and say some pretty racist stuff. I know alot of my own people who say really horrible stuff about Arabs, scary thing is, a lot of people believe some stupid stuff that gets said.

I'm in college, so I party a lot and never study

oh ... wait ... you meant stereotypes that aren't true, didn't you?


nevermind, carry on
