    I get it, I'm Mexican.

    People are always surprised to learn I have never dug under a fence with a spoon. :(

    Are you currently employed as a house keeper?

    I'm a nanny. Jeez.

    I'm half Jewish and half Japanese.

    In fact, I was circumcised at Benihanas.

    That's funny. I'm sick of the Irish being referred to as drunken rabble-rousers. When I finish this pint I'm gonna kick someone's *kitten*!

    Not a racial sterotype but I'm from UK. My Polish neighbour said she thought all British do is drink tea and eat English breakfast.

    Actually that is all my dad does :D

    I was sitting in the airport and this woman walks up to me and says 'Can I ask you a question? I adopted a black child, he is 2 and his hair is starting to fall out in patches..is this normal?'
    I said, 'I don't have kids how would I know?'
    Then it dawns on my dumb-*kitten*. Ohhhh...I said 'you're asking me because Im black? No honey you need to consult with a doctor not some random woman in the airport'.

    Weird right?

    (but I can dance my butt off)

    I lived in Ireland for 5 years and more than one of my Irish friends would often get drunk and do a jig lmao. Great way to work off those alcohol calories!!

    I guess the Irish gives you the sense of humour that the German is lacking.

    Yes. Agreed. My whole family is native american. People see me and see a white girl.

    "Your name is Rain? Your sister's name is Natahni? Your parents must be hippies right?"

    Like, dude... no...

    "You're native american? HOW!" *makes covering mouth motion*

    and my favorite.... "You're native american? Like, the tribe in twilight?" OH MY MOTHER EFFING JESUS CHRIST

    "Your named after the thunderbird? Like, the car?"

    *eye twitch*

    I'm Italian and our motto is: Eat through the pain, while drowning in bowls of pasta. (Actually, that's more like a fantasy rather than a stereotype giving my current lower carb lifestlye, but I digress.)

    My ex, who is black, and I went to visit an urban deli and grocery store that sold all sorts of odd cuts of meat and such. He made a crack about his grandfather with his old country accent, asking for the neckbones. Not 2 minutes later a little old black man came up to him and asked him if he knew where the neckbones where! We had a pretty good laugh about that.

    I'm Cuban.

    I didn't swim here, I don't engineer things from sticks, sand and old Chevy's and I don't sell cocaine like Scarface :laugh:


    I did however, swim competitively, build a pretty awesome bridge in AP physics class in 10th grade, and own 4 different copies of Scarface (mostly my boyfriend's fault lol)

    No stereotypes about black women...I'm so shocked I almost fell on my big lo' *kitten* and messed up my hair weave (both of which I do actually have:)

    I have neither, but I'll make up for it with my daily dose of fried chicken and a 40oz.

    I helped a Chinese couple parallel park when I lived near chinatown. Complete strangers too. I couldn't bare watching them struggle after 10 min. Their family owned a restaurant in the neighborhood and they treated my boyfriend and I too dinner.

    That's better than having enough Native American to be mistaken for a Mexican all the while having a Jewish name. At least my father's mother was full Irish so I'm not short. I'm basically a mutt right?

    Oh, do you work at a casino? (keeping the racial stereotype thing going)
