What stereotype do you think is wrong?, <<-------------- Options

[ParanoidAndroid]

Asian means chinese.

Person: OHHH ARE YOU CHINESE?
Asian: Korean.
Person: Same thing.

yo I hate that stereotype.

Yen: I'm asian
person: really?!
yen: yeah I'm from the Philippines
person: but you don't look Chinese

[Trinie]

everyone automatically thinks that asians can break dance! lol

[hiromi]

asian stereotypes, definitely.

'hey you're Japanese, you must like anime!'
'hey, you're WRONG :D'
'... oh. (walks away)'

[smoke]

Hmmm... I don't really like any stereotype. I guess the stupidest, in my opinion, is... well, this is though. I honestly think they're all stupid!

[monxcheri]

they`re all stupid

[*Zatanna*]

The dumbest stereotype? Well, they're all dumb. One my grandfather used to complain about a lot is whenever he would say that he was Spanish, people would say, "oh, you don't look Mexican." I can completely relate now, because when I tell people that I'm half Israeli and half Spanish people often say the same thing, "You don't look Mexican at all."

[aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Not to hijack the topic...but aren't you guys who are saying "Emo kids who do such and such aren't emo, they're just posers", just contributing to the Stereotype?

I'm not saying anyone used those words exactly, but when you say that Emo is a fad and that people who dress a certain way and call themselves Emo, aren't; then aren't you kind of adding to the Stereotype that all Emo kids are fakes? Because that's a major Stereotype too, and the one I hate the most.

btw-I'm not Emo, but that's just something I didn't understand.

^ ha, yeah, I've been saying that around here for who knows how long.

[banthisaccountno...]

The one that bugs me the most is when people say that all metal is gothic/satanic.

[aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

^ ha, yeah, I've been saying that around here for who knows how long.

Must be our North Carolina minds thinking alike...

[ANG33ZY]

Eek. I don't like stereotypes*, period.

[hillix]

"Chinese don`t know how to drive"

i hate that! even tho i`m filipino.

[expoised]

^^^ heh. That's partially true. Asian females tend to suck at driving.



Except for me. I'm always the exception :)

[theINSANITYclaus...]

That all women who lives in the projects are hoodrats. I've met a few women who live in the projects and they're most lady like than me.

[*Kathleen*]

hey your asian you know how to draw lol.

We do?

yo I hate that stereotype.

Yen: I'm asian
person: really?!
yen: yeah I'm from the Philippines
person: but you don't look Chinese

HAHA. I remember when I was in grade/middle school, everyone called me the "Chinese girl."

[no-name]

We do?

HAHA. I remember when I was in grade/middle school, everyone called me the "Chinese girl."

All stereotypes are stupid

Not really; cause those Asians tend to deny their incomptence to drive; thus, that wouldn't exactly make you an exception ;)

[expoised]

I was being sarcastic. The part "I'm always the exception :)" was supposed to be a clue-in, but I guess not.

And I'm not a bad driver! I'm just... overly aggressive?

[angelrevelation]

ethnic stereotypes of names, and accents.

ex. hispanic: carlos, juan, etc. asian: lin, chee, some extreme 'american' name...

plus everyone thinks all i listen to is classical music, just cuz i was in orchestra.

[priyas]

i hate the term "nigger."

i also don't like the word "chink".


stereotype: azn people drive bad. <<<<thats not even true.

[demolished]

asians smell like peanut butter??

No, recent immigrants smell like shit, i swear. (mainly males).





Hey, it was part of my experience.

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

^ Err. What experience might that be?

hey your asian you know how to draw lol.

I'm Chinese and I suck at drawing. Seriously. Even my handwriting is ugly.

[starlette]

Hmm...I'm reading all the asian kids talking about being asian and being expected to be smart, try telling people you are black or half black and then having them assume you have bad credit, date thugs, steal, rob, live in the hood, have been shot at, hang out with rappers, smoke weed, and can't spell or speak proper english, and that you overall are a slacker, a moron, and don't contribute to society. And that you assume everything others say is racist. I'd much rather have people want me to fix their computer and give them cheat codes to video games.

Or how about that people who are pretty and dress well and wear makeup and things only think about themselves and looking good, and don't have a brain in their head and cant do anything but shop. Heaven forbid a pretty girl have a higher level iq and can learn to do things like code a website and can read chapter books with ease and can actually carry on a conversation about something other than lip gloss.

Or how because you are a woman, you are completly inept when it comes to hooking up electronics, fixing cars, playing video games, and putting together computers. and men who have no clue what they are doing get offended when you know more than they do about these subjects.

Or how when you tell black people that you are half black and half white, they automattically assume you think you are too good to date a black guy.

Or that left-handed people have horrible handwriting.

Or if you wear high heel shoes you must be slutty.

Or that if you arent in college you aren't going to amount to anything but a slacker and probably a homeless person.

Yeah I deal with a lot of very stupid stereotypes. I break the mold in so many ways, but people never give me a chance to be unique. I hate all stereotypes. but there are definately some I would rather have than others. I wish peple looked at me and assumed I was smart instead of thinking I was a vapid, superficial individual.
