    Do you fit into any of the stereotypes of your ethnicity/race? What is your race/ethnicity and which are the stereotypes that describe you? :smile:

    As my ethnicity is a crazy mish-mash I will first have to figure out which ethnicity I am and then try to answer my own question, but I will have to leave it blank for now.

    may be helpful if you list all the races and the stereotypes you think are associated with each

    Ha! That's drawing him out...

    But to answer, yes. I'm a walking, talking stereotype. Demographics matter.

    No. Everyone is on his own here. Just list your race/ethnicity and some of the common stereotypes that comes with it and how well they fit you. :)

    Mexican

    Good at construction - Yes

    Good at lawn care- Yes

    Machismo- Absolutely NOT! I get very annoyed by the type, and they dress to embarrass themselves

    Misogynist- Hell no

    Hispanic men drink a lot- Yes, most of us really do. FOr god sakes we use a childs birthday party as an excuse to totally empty the 3 closest gas station of all their beer. But I have cut down a ton, only drink socially and do not get drunk anymore.

    gangbanger- I hate them

    all hispanics support illegal immigration- Not this one, lets warm up the buses and strengthen border security

    Stereotypes are stereotypes. If I went by PC standards I'd call myself a Mexican American , so this qualifies.

    Dumb Polak?

    Absolutely not.

    That's just some thing that the Liberal Jew Norman Lear pulled out of his butt.

    How can it be true?

    Poland scores one of the highest educational PISA score results in Europe as we speak.

    Let's see... English born, Australian raised, Irish mother, English father. Therefore I am a drunken bum who is repressed and class conscious as well as being a loudmouth especially when I travel to other countries.

    Jeez, sounds about right! :cool:

    I never understood this stereotype of Mexicans. How can they be lazy when they usually work harder, especially the illegals, to earn below min wage under the table and provide for their families, usually out in the fields? Is it because of the siestas? I would love for one right now.

    I'm a 29 year old white dude stationed in Europe. I get all the funny jokes from these guys.

    The most common one this French black guy told me last month was:

    White people tell the cheesiest jokes.

    Then I caught myself yesterday telling this joke to my friend:

    How do you get Pikachu on a bus? You poke em on!

    I used to be a stereotypical Jew, until I punched the guy who called me a stereotypical Jew.
