So, you're mad at your teacher for using stereotypes and seem against them, yet you're pushing for us to dish some out? Make up your mind.

[Heathasm]

well um certain people act a different way
and yeah, it does have to do with race
.....some times
i think alot of sterotypes are correct
but some are just plain stupid

[inthemudhole]

Irish people are drunks..?
Norwegians are dumb..?

EDIT//
Okay, to clear it up.. I'm both Irish and Norwegian.

[xquizit]

I've been hearing this one a lot lately... Filipino women are stuck up, mean, and very high maintenance.

NOT TRUE.

[Edele]

There are so many stereotypes nowadays. My teacher was stereotyping Asians this morning and I got all annoyed.  I can name three off the top of my head: Asian people are smart, (  ) Jews are cheap, and all Puerto Rican people play baseball.
Know any more? They give me a laugh, as ridiculous as they are.

Okay, first off, I'm not cheap. I love spending money.

Irish people are drunks..?

Secondly, I'm not drunk. Hehe.

Okay, okay. Yeah, I think dishing out sterotypes is not really cool. Because they might actually....you know, offend someone. Unless you're sterotyping something that you happen to be apart of.

Like...I'm irish and jewish. Which is an odd combo. I know. And I say something funny about those. But I'm not going to. Sorry to spoil the fun.

Chinese people are good at math...

I'm not...

[melface]

Actually I think it's ALL asian people are good at math.


Here's one...
All cheerleaders are dumb bitches.

Oh wait...

[CrimsonXero]

o.0 Huh? I thought you didn't like stereotypes. Well I don't know many because its my friends who say em. I just laugh along with them. As far as stereotypes go, it's all a joke. It's a nicer way of "labeling." Labeling/stereotyping ppl is a way of life. We can't help it. So it's better just to take things as a joke.

[happygoluckyng]

I don't like stereotypes either...it's all racist to me...cuz once somebody finds out I'm indian..the first thing they say is..wat is that red dot in the middle of your forehead...I'm like wtf?...India has different religion there...not just hindu people...how the hell am I suppossed to know?...damn

Asian people eat noodles.

[EddieV]

white people are.....

















WHITE!

[x_babii_gherl_x]

white people are.....

















WHITE!

i didnt know that.....how suprising.


stereotypes are wierd..but i dont really get all mad about them.. because i know most of them arent true or are partially true!

[pink_tootsie]

asians are freakin smart at everything..well at least thats what my friends say...and that, sometimes can be false

[*tweeak*]

ok, so its not a sterotype, but it was a bit racist. we had to do this project for lit on the scarlet letter and make our own letter on our sins, and we had to present about the symbolism of the way our letter looked today, and my friend was explaining why hers was for anger and why black and red were usually anger colors. she said red was for the color you turn when youre mad, and then someone asked what black wasfor then, because people dont turn black, and she said black people do, and the one black girl in the class got slightly annoyed but the teacher was laughing so that either completely made or killed her grade

Actually I think it's ALL asian people are good at math.

I'm not good at Math. I'm horrible at it...
Wait...I'm asian? Crap, I almost forgot.
I guess it works out that way. No wonder...

Fine, I'll contribute...I'll half ass this one.

• Black people steal and like chicken
• Asians are smart, lack personality, and are either white-washed, black-washed or just straight out FOB
• White people have no rhythm...and they're crazy.
• Guys only want sex

[jaeman]

My friends say "black people are good at basketball".

[*stephinika*]

ugh. i hate stereotypes. here are some common ones that i know of around where i am:

- all asians are smart/have strict parents
- all black guys are hardcore
- all halfers (caucasian/asian) are hot
- all people in band are geeks
- all "popular" people are bitches/arseholes

etc...

[whywasisostupid]

-all asians look alike

not TRUE

[YourLostTragedy]

Asians are smart and know TONS about computers? Sorry.. That's my stereotype. I'm horrible. But all the Asians I've met are these things. *Tries to think differently*

[s0emotionalx3]

Hm.. i find it funny even when it's against me. I mean, I get slightly annoyed at school because this guy who sits next to me in math always says Im good at math only because I'm asian.

- All asian people are bad drivers.
- Blonds are stupid.
- Cheerleaders are preppy, ditzy, and snobby.

[*tweeak*]

- all people in band are geeks

oh, but we are. were just not your stereotypical geek (ok, that didnt make much sense, but hopefully you know what i mean...) were geeks because band overwhelms and its all we can talk/think about, so while we may not be geeky people we are geeks in our fondness for band

[*autumn.*]

emo people have depression and they cut themselves and they listen to dashboard. and they think that theyre scene and hardxcore. heh.

[LadyXTor]

I know some...
Red Heads are hot heads - Know a lot of red heads, and they're all really nice

Blondes are dumb - Heck no, I know so many people that are blondes that get straight a's like all the time.

Asians are smart - ...Gosh I wish that were true for me...

[Ladii_D1809]

i know a ton, but some are really racist:
I'll start off with the "black" ones since i am black and i kno i won't offend my self
Black ppl are stupid
Black ppl are dumb
All Black ppl are ghetto (sometimes i do belive thats true)
Black people live in torn down homes
Black people are good at basketball and football
all black guys cheat
all black girls have big butts (does not apply to me)
the only dances black people do are the booty shaking ones

only one i've heard about asians was that they're smart ( i know some dumb ones)

blondes are stupid, and sluts
all preps where abercrombieuh...

i can't think of anymore right now, and i think thats enough...

[lil_shadow]

this is an interesting topic....yea my stereotypes are generally the same as most ppl's:


-popular ppl are biotches and think think their sexy and tell people that they are...
-azn ppl are smart whether it be math, art, music, history, w/e it is der smart in sumthin oh and also as u go up the ages in ur teens they dress more fobbish xD
-white ppl who try to rap are scary to watch.
-black guys are ghetto and good at bball

[xPartyGrlDx]

I've been hearing this one a lot lately... Filipino women are stuck up, mean, and very high maintenance.

NOT TRUE.

SO NOT TRUE! who would say a think like that!?

merchandises...pink is for girls & blue is for boys. wake up! there is no specific color for a gender! maybe a symbol but not a color!

[EddieV]

I take lots of Communications class. Stereotyping really isn't a bad thing if you think deeply into it. It has to do a lot with metonyms and semiotics. I don't know how to explain.

[steezahh]

my science teacher always says asians are sleepy, and that gamble.
mexicans&blacks when they are together they cause trouble ;]
these are so mean.

oh well stereo types.

[inocent_eyez]

peruvians are the best thieves in the world.

or so i've heard....

[mzbbc]

some lady was telling me that ppl from south america are all sketchy liars and people who steal. i was like "why are you telling me this????"

yeaa stereotypes suck.

[ceara cecilyrose]

My all time least favourite stereotype is that fat people are lazy slobs who eat too much..

Its one that people have applied to me because I'm overweight and it's bull.

And then there's the one that Australian Aboriginals are all violent drunks.
That all drug users are bad people
That all girls who have children at a young age are sluts
That all guys who knock girls up at a young age are studs
That guys have short hair.
That girls wear skirts and guys wear pants.


These things are all stereotypes. All stereotypes really do is reflect cultural values, so stereotypes change depending on which culture(s) you're in.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

social & racial stereotypes, i hope it devolves in the near future . everyone just cross-breed with different races so were all mixed up together .

[anniepiee]

The deal with chinese people being good at math and smart and everything ISNT TRUE!

i have one though. based on my mom and her friends.
recently immagrated chinese ladies at the age above 45 are sterotypically known as bad drivers.

nerds are despised at school.

[Ihate]

The stereotype that all skaters are pot heads and break stuff.

[nptsprtz15]

if you play football..ur stupid
if you are a cheerleader..ur a ditz
if you are blonde...u are stupid in all ways

[Im So Vain]

• African-Americans are only good in the entertainment industry (ie. sports, music, etc)
• African-Americans have big butts, big lips and big noses.
• Asians can't drive.
• Asian women love designer purses..
• Jamaicans have a lot of jobs.

Asians are smart, lack personality, and are either white-washed, black-washed or just straight out FOB

Thats actually pretty accurate. At least where I live.

[EddieV]

All everyone is talking about is racial stereotyping. There are many other different types of stereotyping you know.

[JlIaTMK]

Gays are always flamboyent?


Yeah.

[saintruthanne]

1. HOMESCHOOLERS ARE SMART

2. HOMESCHOOLERS ARE SHELTERED

3. HOMESCHOOLERS ARE LOSERS

4. CHRISTIANS ARE IGNORANT AND BIASED AND PUSH THEIR BELIEFS ON EVERYONE

5. FRENCH PEOPLE ARE PIGS AND JERKS

6. WHITE PEOPLE CAN'T DANCE OR JUMP

some of these are hilarious cuz they're so not true....but some are kinda true. like homeschoolers are smart. most of them are, colleges really want homeschoolers. but I'm not a smart homeschooler.

[*not_your_average*]

^Well, many of the Christians I know in real life fit the fourth stereotype.

[Aoiro]

Emo: Listen to bands like Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional. Have sidebangs and tight pants. Male vocalists who sing like little girls about their failed relationships. Cut themselves. Has an eating disorder. Rants about how "nobody understands".

There's more, but you get the point.
That's the definition I learned/got.

[teeners4]

have any of you guys ever seen russell peters? xD

[*incoherent*]

a lot of stereotypes, like stated, are correct. ive always thought of asians as really good at computers...but then realized that all races have equal skills.
