So, there's a thing that goes around FFnet that's got all these stereotypes on it. I even had it in my profile once upon a time back when I was still in school. You BOLD the ones that you are. I plan to do this, and also comment on as many of the stereotypes that I can. I may not be very nice, but it's mostly what I think. :D
For people that hate stereotypes: If you think people should just shut up and stop, put this on your profile. (BOLD the ones you are.)
I'm SKINNY, so I MUST be anorexic.
Okay, so not true. My cousin had a baby, eats whatever she wants, and doesn't exercise beyond playing with her kid. She's 111lbs. *jealous*
I'm EMO, so I MUST cut my wrists.
No, but a lot of them do. Or write about it. Or sing about it. Or listen to stuff about it. At least back in my day, when Emo was actually... ya know, EMO. I'm ashamed to say I've written stuff about killing myself, though I'd never do it.
I'm a NEGRO so I MUST carry a gun.
No, but some do. With almost all the black hip hop artists today rapping and singing about being gansta and killing, why do we think that? I mean, that's ridiculous! Almost as ridiculous aa what some of the black people around the large city getto get into. I'll never let my little Nephew get into that shit. His father was a drug dealer and I'm not letting his have that influence.
I'm BLONDE, so I MUST be a ditz
Ya know, I thought this stereo type was already dead and gone. Blond jokes are just funny. I think most of the ditsy blonds out there are ones that DYE their hair that way. On behalf of the stupid brunettes turned blonds out there, I'm very sorry.
I'm JAMAICAN so I MUST smoke weed.
I'm HAITIAN so I MUST eat cat.
I'm ASIAN, so I MUST be sexy.
HAHA. I like Asian guys, but where is THIS from? Plus as a girl, wouldn't you want to be sexy? I've never actually heard of this, and Asian girls are more pretty than sexy to me. Hell, they sound like their being rapped when they're on porn.
I'm JEWISH, so I MUST be greedy.
I'm GAY, so I MUST have AIDS.
A stereotype from the long past. I thought we were over this stereotype YEARS ago. Like at least ten years ago. Back before I really understood what gay meant.
I'm a LESBIAN, so I MUST have a sex-tape.
Haven't heard of this. I haven't heard of a single lesbian with a sex tape. I've heard plenty of Het couples with them, but no lesbians. It's such a shame too.
I'm ARAB, so I MUST be a terrorist.
This stereotype is ridiculous. 'Nough said.
I SPEAK MY MIND, so I MUST be a bitch/ass-hole.
No, but a lot of people who speak their mind don't know how to go about it and come off as a bitch. They can be insensitive to other's feelings and blurt out things better left unsaid. Though I do envy people who don't think over what they say twenty times before letting it come out of their mouth, like me.
I'm a GAY RIGHTS SUPPORTER, so I WILL go to hell.
Not true. Rights for all people should happen. I have nothing against gays at all; I actually like them a lot.
I'm a CHRISTAN, so I MUST think gay people should go to hell.
"Should" go to hell? No. Might go to hell? Yeah. Any Christian will tell you in the bible it says that another man cannot lay with another man, and as Christians the bible is like an old gospel song states our "Roadmap" telling us how to live and where to go with out lives. I'm not saying I want gays to go to hell, or that I think it's fair, but I am not God and I can't make that decision. I just try to love and be fair to everyone and not hate. There's not much else I can do, as I don't want to change anyone to something they're not.
I'm RELIGIOUS, so I MUST shove my beliefs down your throat.
Refer to the above statement for myself, but I do know a lot of religious people like this. I know even more religious people who are nice, sweet and will just politely ask you if you'd like to go to church with them that Sunday. If you don't, then no big, but always know you're welcome. :)
I'm ATHEIST so I MUST hate the world.
I don't have a RELIGION, so I MUST be evil and have no morals
I'm REPUBLICAN, so I MUST not care about poor people.
I'm DEMOCRAT, so I MUST not believe in being responsible.
I am LIBERAL, so I MUST be gay.
I TAKE (or used to take) ANTI-DEPRESSANTS, so I MUST be crazy.
It means you have mental problems. I took them in my high school days and I will never take them again, for they fucked my up. My mother takes them and I do not want to be around her when she doesn't as she gets overly emotional and gets mad at the littlest thing. My cousin needs them, but won't take them. Everyone's a little crazy. Hell, I know I'm crazy.
I'm a GUY, so I MUST only want to get into your pants.
I know this isn't true, but as a girl in the world I will tell you that a lot of guys around my age are not looking to settle down first thing in a relationship. If you expect it, you are bound to be disappointed. That's not to say that there's not some guys around my age looking for The One, but they are few and far between.
I'm IRISH, so I MUST have a bad drinking problem.
I'm INDIAN, so I MUST own a convenient store.
I'm NATIVE AMERICAN, so I MUST dance around a fire screaming like a savage.
I'm a CHEERLEADER, so I MUST be a whore...
This isn't true. One of my best friends was a cheerleader in middle school. BUT. Cheerleaders are most likely Popular. Which means they'll have lots of friends, which also means they'll more than likely have quite a few boyfriends, which can lead to them looking like a whore.
I'm a DANCER, So I must be stupid, stuck up, and a whore
I wear SKIRTS a lot, so I MUST be a slut.
What kinds of skirts? If they're long and conservative you'll more than likely look like a prude than a slut. Miniskirts? Then you probably don't care that they're calling you a slut, because if you're wearing miniskirt six days a week, we can safely say it's either really hot all the time, or you're trying to get male attention.
I'm a PUNK, so I MUST do drugs.
No, you could totally be anti-drugs, but that doesn't mean a large chunk of the actual punks out there are anti-establishment, breaking rules, which can result in doing drugs.
I'm RICH, so I MUST be a conceited snob.
Totally not true, but don't think this means that you can understand the poor. Seriously, unless you've been in your car, searching every inch for a nickle so you can actually get something to drink to share with the three other people in the car, one of who, is a three year old, who are also looking through their shit for change, because you haven't had a drink of anything all day then you really can't understand. Or if you've ever payed for something entirely in pennies, because you didn't have anything else. Or if you've ever lived on 75 dollars a week, with two kids.
I WEAR BLACK, so I MUST be a goth or emo.
No, you could totally be a theater nerd too! ;)
I'm a WHITE GIRL, so I MUST be a nagging, steal-your-money kind of girlfriend.
I'm not one of those girls, but I do know some. Most of those girls have been hurt, have been without money, and will take advantage of a guy who might end of breaking her heart just like all the others. They don't mean to, but the jerkoffs that they've been with have made them that way.
I'm CUBAN, so I MUST spend my spare time rolling cigars.
I'm NOT A VIRGIN, so I MUST be easy.
Hell, we all know this isn't true. The majority of people nowadays are losing the V-card before their seventeenth birthday.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH A MARRIED MAN, so I MUST be a home-wrecking whore.
No, the guy's also at fault, but that doesn't mean that you take none of the blame. I might be happy now that my mom caught my dad sleeping with my stepmother and kicked him out, and I might love my stepmother, who is a sweetheart, but NEVER think as a child I did not cry all the fucking time because I missed my Daddy. Think about that if you love a married man. Tell him if he loves you them he has to leave his wife before a relationship occurs. You'll know if he really loves you then. But will you even trust him? If he left his WIFE for you, then what are the chances he'll fall in love with someone else once you're with him? My dad has cheated on my stepmom too. If you're with a married man, then you obviously don't care about is wife. Have some control, because you can do better than a guy who's is with another woman.
I'm a TEENAGE MOM, so I MUST be an irresponsible slut.
Slut? No. Irresponsible? Yes, as one point. There are exceptions, but I'm not aiming this at them. If you're going to have underage sexy be responsible about it, or just keep your fucking legs closed. My cousin got pregnant at 14. I love her and her baby so much, but that doesn't mean she wasn't irresponsible. She relied on the "pullout" method or just not caring. She'll tell you that herself.
I'm POLISH, so I MUST wear my socks with my sandals
I'm ITALIAN, so I must have a "big one".
I'm EGYPTIAN, so I must be a TERRORIST!
I'm PRETTY, so I MUST not be a virgin.
I HAVE STRAIGHT A'S, so I MUST have no social life.
I DYE MY HAIR CRAZY COLORS, so I MUST be looking for attention.
Yes. Yes you must. If you dye your hair crazy colors don't you want people to be like "I love your hair!" or "How did you do that?" I dyed my hair BRIGHT red at one point. I love the color and the way it looked on me and I wanted it to be noticed, because I liked it.
I DRESS IN UNUSUAL WAYS so I MUST be looking for attention.
I'm INTO THEATER & ART, so I MUST be a homosexual.
I'm a VEGETARIAN, so I MUST be a crazy political activist.
My sister is a veggie and she'd not a political activist. Far from it. So is her husband and a lot of his friends.
I HAVE A BUNCH OF GUY FRIENDS, so I MUST be fucking them all.
I HAVE A BUNCH OF GIRLS WHO ARE FRIENDS, so I MUST be a player.
I have Big BOOBS, so I MUST be a hoe.

I'm POLISH, so I MUST be greedy
I'm HAWAIIAN so I MUST be lazy
I'm PERUVIAN, so I MUST like llamas
I'm a STONER so I MUST be going in the wrong direction
Yes. If you smoke weed everyday then something's wrong, and apparently you're not trying to fix it. Nothing wrong with smoking a little weed every now and then, but being a stoner is getting out of hand. Weed is a drug that messes with your mind. Stoner is kind of like an alcoholic, but not quite as bad.
I'm a VIRGIN so I MUST be prude
I'm STRAIGHT EDGE so I must be violent.
I think I have a different idea of straight edge than these people.
I'm a FEMALE GAMER, so I MUST be ugly.. or crazy.
The two most questions I get asked on Xbox Live are "Are you a girl?" and then after I respond in the positive they ask "Are you fat?" It gets annoying after a bit. Teenage boys have no tact. At all.
I'm BLACK so I MUST love fried chicken and kool-aid.
No like those things can also mean you're a redneck too. *thinks about her family*
I'm a GIRL who actually EATS LUNCH, so I MUST be fat.
I'm SINGLE so I MUST be ugly.
I'm a SKATER so I must do weed and steal stuff
I'm a PUNK so I must only wear black and date only other punks

I'm HISPANIC, so I MUST be dirty.
I'm NOT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, so I MUST be a loser.
Haha. I think that makes you human, bro.
I'm OVERWEIGHT, so I MUST have a problem with self control.
Sometimes, yes. I'm overweight and I can say for certain that I don't have the control to go on a diet. But mostly that's just because I don't want to. :)
I'm PREPPY, so I MUST shun those who don't wear Abercrombie & Hollister.
I'm on a DANCE team, so I must be stupid, stuck up, and a whore.
I'm YOUNG, so I MUST be naive.
Yes, I bolded it. I can be young at 21! But yes, you are naive if you're young. You can have as much knowledge as you want, but you're not an adult with adult hormones.
I'm MEXICAN, so I MUST have hopped the border.
I GOT A CAR FOR MY BIRTHDAY, so I MUST be a spoiled brat.
I'm BLACK, so I MUST love watermelon

Or disrespectful. Or an idiot. I get those sometimes. :)
I tell people OFF, so I MUST be an over controlling bitch/ass-hole.
No, but you might be just a bitch. A little less anger people, and little more calm negotiating.
My hair gets GREASY a lot, so I MUST have no hygiene skills.
When my hair gets greaset it's either been a hot day or I've forgotten to shower that day. Forgetting to shower is a lack of hygenie skill. Guess what that leads too.
I'm DEFENSIVE, so I MUST be over controlling and a bitch.
No, but you are worried about whatever you're defensive about and suspect that you are what they are telling you you are.
I'm a NUDIST, so I MUST want everyone to see my boobs.
I read Comics, so I MUST be a loser.

I'm PAGAN so I MUST worship Satan

I was out of my depression phase, so I sent her a message that said something like "All your bulletins make me sad. It's okay. Smile a little, the world's not so bad." She didn't reply back and I didn't talk to her any after that. Then a few months later graduation came and she can right up and gave me the biggest hug ever and walked away. It was sweet. :)
I’m STRONG so I MUST be stupid.
I'm Australian so I MUST hunt crocodiles and talk to kangaroo’s
I go to Renaissance Fairs, so I MUST talk weird, be a loser, and not be up with the times

While I know this is not true, I do know a guy that does this. He's my sisters friend. At her wedding party we were trying to get in the cab and all of us were pretty drunk and the guy was just standing outside flirting with a clearly straight guy. My sister screams "COERY HE'S NOT GAY! GET IN THE CAB!" The way she acted clearly stated this was a regular thing for him to do.

I just really wanted to go through and make a commentary of some of these stereotypes. Cause some of them are rediculous and others are there for a reason and more still are true only half the time. I just think it's ridiculous.
Love,
Turdlock
