Hey, i've used the search bar and i don't think there is another thread like thos. Anyway, have any of you cbers been streotyped because of your race/religion? I'm black and i get it a lot. I just wanted to see if anyone else has, and if so, how do you respond to it?

Edit//

and stereotyping for anything else you can think of

yes b/c of my sexuality. & i just ignore it.

yes gosh it's hard to believe such narrow minded people online x.x i jus ignore them

Not my race or religion. They stereotype me for me. So I guess they don't really stereotype me... yeah?

yea i live in haiti (cuz thats where my moms from), but my dads chinese so ppl there are always like ooo can you speak chinese? do you know jackie chan? blah blah blah..i usually say i dont know any chinese. even tho i know a bit. or i just change the subject -_-;

i guess your saying they stereotype you because you're different in your own way. A lot of people get that. I wouldn't say it was stereotyping, but at the same time, it kinda is.

does a 'wannabe-nerd' count?

I don't get it online but in person I just say "Yeah sure, whatever. =)" or " STFU you. Kthnxbye"

How cool huh?

Yes I have and here is what happened in one of the incidents:
Some guy: "WTF, he's asian...yet...hes tall mayb hes white...??"
*looks UP at me*
Some guy:"Are you white?"

tsk tsk tsk....

Are you sure you searched?

Yeah, I get it all the time. People think because I listen to hip hop and rap and such that I'm a "wigger" or whatever.. KJSLDKASJDL, I hate people.

Are you friggin serious? I checked the whole thing.

This doesn't really count, but I'm white and I say y0 alot and everyone asks me "why you tryin to act black" I'm like confuzled. So I say, why do you have to be slow, haha, when people get in my nerves, I get kind of mean >.<

Oh you live in Haiti , were neighbors then!. ( I live in Dominican Repub and those who failed geography ,Haiti and DR are on the same island )

Yes. People still try to use those idiotic dumb blonde jokes against me. It's annoying. AND the thing that pisses me off the most is when a Christian asks me if I'm Christian, I reply no, and the first thing out of their mouth is, "Are you an Atheist?" I. Want. To. Strangle. Every. Single. One. Of. Those. Mofos.

Yeah.
I'm placed into certain groups because of how I dress, the music I listen to, my sexuality, and other things like that, but not because of my race... basically everyone here is white.

I've been hella stereotyped because of my race, my clothes, and the way I act. I've been categorized as the stereotypical "Chinese Ching Chong" shit, and the "Gangster" category, and the "Wankster" category because of guys that think their gangsters. I name a gang and they have never heard of em before :/ maybe except the bloods and crips. But I name a local one and its like "Who the f**k are they"... ok im done

I think I'm stereotyped when people find out that Geena is actually my daughter, and I was 13 when I had her.

Women and girls think I'm slutty, and guys will think I put out easier.

i get the "acting black" thing alot... lol ... cant an asian kid just enjoy hip hop culture?

they think all asians are smart....... it's scary when they come up to me with questions thinking i might know the answers.......... thinking that im sooo smart. gosh T_T;;; asians are not all smart!! stupid people garrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!


anyways. there is a topic about this. u just spelled it wrong........... u should learn how to spell right.

something like that happens to me..
I guess I'm tall for my age and my ethnicity (japanese)
it gets irratating at times..

Well I'm constantly on the watch for people stereo-typing me for my race because I'm Hispanic and I don't fit in the stereo-type at all. But so far, not for that, but for being a "nerdy geeky" kinda person. Which bugs me but whoever does that I just look them straight in the eye and say "I have a life but obviously you don't seeing that you're even mentioning it about me." That always gets 'em They're all in my class of course, because to a person who doesn't know me they wouldn't have guessed I'm the high-achiever of the class when they first look at me.

Well, I live in a very small, narrow-minded town so yeah. Just because I don't strike up a conversation without anything breathing, everybody thinks I'm quiet and shy but really, I am far from. And also, because I don't listen to pop and instead listen to "weird" music I am considered "punk rock."

i think theres a stereotyping topic in the debate forum. no, i dont htink. I KNOW. but this might be diffrent since the one in the debate forum is about what you think of stereotyping. i dno..im just rambling now. but yeah...everyone thinks im so freakin smart cuz im asian.

i live in hong kong, and there are basically 0.03% black people here,
and SOME asians look at us like dirt even though i take a shower 2
times a day and scrub myself with the nicest soap. I feel more cleaner then them.

im not being a stereotype but seriously, it can get terrible here in hong kong.
for example " screaming and running away when they see you" or " calling you black ghost", my friend is australian and some old woman called her " white ghost" and maybe thats why i don't make friends with chinese from local school, some are nice, but you know, form experience, i can never tell which chinese like or dislike black people.

but you know they can get nice in one point " when their selling thier stuffs to you,
cause they know you got the cash", thats just bullshit!
