Stereotypes: How You Fit them or Don't.

Whether it's to your race, age, physical appearance, or religion.


For example:


I don't fit the asian stereotype because -

I hate and suck at math and the sciences, always excelled in English and writing.

I am staunchly atheist while most korean-americans are hardcore christians.

Most other koreans are i-bankers or in some sort of financial career while I was a film major who wears t-shirts and jeans to work.




I fit the stereotype because -

I am short, a shitty driver, and drink a lot (good thing i never drive).



so how bout yourselves? are you the definition of your stereotype or do you buck the trend?

The OP was very enjoyable. You need to include culture. I see more whites now being influences by other cultures, not so much their race.

What are some stereotypes of whites? I can't think of any.

I don't play golf. I didn't go to an ivy league school. I don't wear polos.

Same here. Almost.

I hate nascar, love guns, do not hunt or fish, and the only domestic I drink is Samuel Adams. Southerners don't know shit about beer.

I've always seen this as a southern thing. I love fried chicken, watermelon, beer. Name a stereotypical black loved food and I grew up eating it. Besides pigs feet. Yuck.
