Stereotypes

[Rebdragon]

I suppose that the rest of the world thinks about Latin America as a single entity, so what are your stereotypes about us?

Naw, they're civilized. But that's because they're all illegal immigrants.

All stereotypes, along with generalizations, are false.

 

 

 

Yeah, us Aussies all eat shrimp. Yes, that's right. We don't even call prawns 'shrimp', but we still eat 'em. And we eat them barbecued. Do you have any idea how hard it is to barbecue prawns on a grill? But we darn well do it, because that's what Mr. Dundee did.

Stereotypes to asians:

 

 

 

- "Ching chong"

- We're all from China

 

- Or Japan, or Korea...

 

- We have an IQ of at least 130+

Don't forget apparently:

Nerds:

 

-They play chess.

 

-They play WoW or any other MMORPG a lot.

 

-They always have a calculator on them.

 

-They are trekkies.

 

-They are covered in acne.

 

 

 

Oh these are fun, to add to the list:

 

 

 

-They are totally obsessed with one of the following: lord of the rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, any Sci-Fi novel

 

-They wear briefs

 

-They wear glasses

 

-They wear a shirt that's tucked into their really bad looking shorts

 

-They are completely obsessed with one and only one anime

 

-They are absolutely horrible with any sort of sport

-They have pocket protectors (I don't even know what these are tbh)

 

-They focus explicitly on one thing and everything else either sucks or is "gay"

 

-They have no social skills and generally act awkward towards members of the other gender

 

-Despite failing, they are desperate to get a girlfriend or have some sort of pitiful relationship

 

-They are heavily into role-playing games

 

-They have never gotten laid

 

-They lack confidence

 

 

 

And my favorite (and the one part of the stereotype that always holds true):

 

 

 

-They are totally insecure and when someone calls them a nerd they immediately come up with a long list of arguments that are supposed to "prove" they are not a nerd.

 

 

 

-French people love themselfs and hate everyone else

Also French people love going on strike.

Heh, no.

 

 

 

I'm judging on this years performance at both NRL and Union. Union, weren't they eliminated, like, in the first match? They were home in time to see their Finals clock count down to zero. And they didn't do that well in the NRL Season, either. :P

Welsh are all sheep farmers.

 

 

 

 

You mean the welsh are all sheep shaggers :XD:

I was trying to stereotype every area of the UK that I could while being diplomatic.

 

 

 

:)

 

 

 

I want to hear some stereotypes of us Northerners from people in the South of England. It is true by the way that "He were a Southern bugger" is a legal defence up here. :)

However calling us all drunk is really moronic. Violent I'd agree with, but drunk is just stupid.

Oh, but you don't really think calling all Latin Americans "Tribal savages eating giant cockroaches in the rainforest :^_^:" would be moronic? Of course it is, but I find it quite funny instead, because the actual purpose of the thread is to talk about these stupid stereotypes. Why would you get so defensive on that specific subject? Just relax, and blame the smelly, terrorist, muslim Middle-easterners for all your troubles.

your post is extremely ironic, why the Scottish stereotype should be stupid.

I like Yorkshire, but your all stuck up posh snobs :P And you all have giant fields, and you would pronounce Yorkshire as "Yoork-shiyer"

Everyone seems to think we have a chip on our shoulder and you're making that stereotype seem true.

[rushrock]

Hi, I am Canadian! I will go and drink my maple syrup now, let's get in the car...WOAH! Wait! Almost forgot my hockey stick and my copy of Canada Weekly! Oh, that's right, nothing interesting ever comes out of Canada! What was I thinking? Oh well, off to hockey practice!

 

 

 

I Chinese! I sell you authentic Spida Man 5, yay? You buy, very cheap, yay? My son, he go to school. He get A's every day or he sleep on lawn.

 

 

 

Yee haw, I'm American! I like to support unjustified wars! I'm skeptical about my government, but I don't do a damn thing about it, but that's okay! It's a lot more convenient to sit on my fat [wagon] and watch sports and yell at imaginary hippies all day!

 

 

 

son you mofo cracka lova gimme tha chain you pampered f-ing n--!

 

 

 

I'm a hippie...woah, where the hell am I?

 

 

 

I'm German...I like beer and yell when I drink beer?

Get a grip pal. My Uncle (not through blood, family friend type person) is from Glasgow and has been there for me throughout my entire life. He is also one of the friendliest, easiest to talk to people that I know. There are many of stereotypes for Scottish people, that is just the first one that sprang to mind.

 

 

 

If you read the post above the qouted one, I said I would like to hear some of the stereotypes about Yorkshire.

 

 

 

And of coarse Yorkshire isn't perfect. It's as much of a [cabbage]-hole as anywhere else in the country really, but it is home so I'm bound to favour it.

[Lemeja]

Not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslim

I'm Muslim myself and anybody who knows me will know that I'm not a gun carrying, America hating, bomber. I'd like to smack the person who said that quote tbh :| .

 

 

 

Back on topic:

 

 

 

Canadians say Eh? a lot

 

I've never really heard this one from other people but when I went to Germany I thought the people there were a bit unpleasant.

 

 

 

 

 

Blacks:

 

As someone mentioned earlier have really gigantic...em..

 

Are gangsters and always wear durags and have their pants at their knees

 

Are poor

 

All black people look the same

 

All black men are named Tyrone, Leroy, Trevon or something like that

 

All black women are named Shaqueeta, Shaneeqwa or something like that

 

Black people don't give a damn about school.

 

Drug dealers.

 

 

 

 

 

I can honestly say none of those (except the first) is true about me :)

 

 

 

Asians: This is from personal experience!!

 

EVERY asian I know can draw really good

 

They're all anime experts and always carry around a manga or two.

 

They mostly keep to themselves tbh

 

Impossible to tell what country they're from.

 

 

 

I've got lots more :P

 

 

 

I don't really believe many stereotypes but I like making jokes about them :P.

Hey. I'm American. A lot of people on this thread called me a warmonger, a redneck, and a fatass, among other things. :P Am I mad about it? No. It's just stereotypes. I'm not trying to attack you, or start an argument. But, this thread isn't worth getting worked up over. Everyone's just having a bit of fun.
