Stereotypes that DON'T fit you

I grew up in the Louisiana swamp and Im not fat from fried seafood, married to my junior prom date, in a 5th generation hand me down trailer on stilts, with nine toothless Kool-Aid moustached illegitimate children chasing gators and blissfully ignorant about what that SKOOL sht is, while my man and his uncle daddy make moonshine.

Yes, I'm from Utah. No, I'm not Mormon.

I'm not from Utah. I'm Mormon *giggles*

Anyone from England will understand this one:

I'm an Essex girl born and bred, but I don't look like I've been Tango'd, I don't have the accent and I don't have bleach blonde hair.

And you don't seem to have those ridiculous drawn on eyebrows either :laugh: fellow Brit here!

This was my shameful addiction for a bit there..... Thankfully I think I'm over it now haha

We've all been there :laugh:

Luckily my parents would have slapped it out of me if I had tried haha! Welcome back to the side of normality though. We have cookies

I'm Mexican. I am not illegal nor do I speak with a 'gangster' accent.

I'm 33, unmarried, Puerto Rican with no children.

SOOOO many stereotypes broken there..... Seriously, where I live the PR stereotype is so annoying!! Lots of Puerto Ricans but no one recognizes the ones who aren't in that stereotype!

Apparently, I should have 5-6 kids by now, from 3-4 different fathers, live on welfare, listen to rap, and speak spanglish. Nope, not me! I must be white.

I have no kids
Never married
Not on welfare
Listen to metal and classic rock
Don't speak spanish
Hate spicy food
I can drive stick
Perfer war movies and action flicks over romantic comedys ANY day (EVERY day.....)
I hate shopping and only go when my clothes have holes in them
I RARELY buy shoes - wear the same pair till they fall apart. Then I go out and try to find the exact same shoes
Had only had 3 pedicures in my life
Not a pet person or a plant person



Note: Stereotypical Puerto Rican traits I DO have..... I can dance salsa, and I have a PR flag hanging from my rear view mirror. hahaha PR pride, baby. :glasses:

I'm a biker with no tattoos, I dont drink or smoke, I have a good sense of humor, a willing smile and an easy going personality.

Yes I am a 6'1" female and no, I didn't play basketball or volleyball to any great extent.

I played fastball. I was the pitcher.

Yes I am blonde, but I work in IT (and I do quite well thank you).

I am in IT (computer nerd) and I actually care about lifting weights, being in shape, eating right, and doesn't have a 12 pack of Mountain Dew for Breakfast.

I'd like to second this.

I'd also like to add:
1. I have tattoos
2. I ride a Harley
3. I like shooting guns

and I guess I'm countering the above by saying that I'm a ridiculously easy-going nonviolent dude.

I know how to properly pronounce "ask".

I rarely listed to rap music.

I never use the N word, no matter who I am around.


I could go on and on...... :P

I don't really know what English stereotypes are! I love tea, scones and crumpets so I suppose I fit those?

I'm vegan but my nutrient levels are probably higher than most peoples and are always on target!

That because I am a "petite" woman, I must be an easy target. I have no problem introducing you to my right hook, Benchmade or Smith & Wesson - in no particular order.

I know how to properly pronounce "ask".

I say, "axe". :bigsmile:

I'm a guys guy, and avid outdoorsman, a hunter.......................and I still make time to read to my kids , cook, and clean my house. No I don't have an apron..........I draw the line there

I'm hispanic and 6'3", and white as a sheet lol (spaniard)

that I have a poop job or no job because i'm young.


and that i have a kid (or 4) because i'm a young mexican girl. this one makes me sad cause people've been asking me since i was 16 lol
