Stereotypes

[Toma-kun]

Any of you guys (or girls) ever been stereotyped? I've been called Chinese more times than I can count and I've had a few people say "Aren't Asians supposed to be good in math?" and the usual "You Chinese people can't drive".

I've been stereotyped as a selfish fool that dosent give a crap about anything, when I am totally the opposite :(

[illustrationism]

I'm white, I have glasses, and I'm good with computers... I'm very often stereotyped for knowning a lot about comptuers.

...well they're right, but that's beside the point.

[Crave]

I've been called a goth more times than I care to count.

[Silver]

I don't recall ever being stereotyped.

[Soul_Angel]

I'm not sure why, but people stereotype me as a retarded gay guy. It happens to me all the time. Here's a fact for all the people who have stereotyped me I AM NOT RETARDED OR GAY! It just makes me so freaking mad. And Crave, you're always being called a goth, because you pretty much are a goth.

:? I think that just proved the whole point of this thread...

I've beed called a geek, nerd, or loser more times than I can count but at the same time I don't do anything to change that negative image. I quite frankly, don't really care.
What's funny, though, is that outer appearances are often decieving. I'm sure there are plenty of kids that don't look have as nerdy as I do but know more about programming than I ever will. I'm pretty obessed with macrabre things but I've never been called a goth because I don't dress like one.

Hahaha, something aout his pic and what he just said struck me funny. LoL :)

Well I can't say I didn't deserve that one. While I complain about stereotypes, my icon depicts a character who fits into the "sterotypical nerd" niche perfectly...
However, I'm the one getting the last laugh here, as refering to me as "he" is inaccurate to say the least. :wink:

[UPRC]

I haven't been, thankfully.

Aside from some people thinking that I might be "good in a fight" because I'm a big guy. :\

Truth is, I'm a puss!!

[Toma-kun]

Ha I love that stereotype; any time you're bigger or taller than the opposing person they automatically think you'll win.

[ViralArtist]

Word.

*Random*

[Soul_Angel]

I'm always the one who is being stereotyped and picked on in school. It's just because they know I can't physically do anything back to them. I'm just way too weak, but whenever some little freshman starts pushing me around I'll tell them to back off before I beat their face in.

[ViralArtist]

LoL, Everyone thinks I'm really weak.

Untill they finally learn.

(I.E. Broken Jaw, Nose, and Arm,.. typical wounds)

[Soul_Angel]

Everyone thinks I'm weak and they're right...I should really start working out.

[ViralArtist]

I dun know.

[Soul_Angel]

You never know do you? I hear "I dun know" a lot on messenger from you.

[ViralArtist]

*Wishes I had the Face I use on MSN all the time*

[Soul_Angel]

Ok? At least I haven't been on all day posting on forums. Get out and have a life man.

WTF is up dude? You ok?

[Soul_Angel]

You know what's up with me.

[ViralArtist]

Oh yea :idea: I forget sometimes,. mybad

[Soul_Angel]

That's okay. I have to do something about this crap that's been happening to me

[ViralArtist]

Do what I did,.

Hmm, maybe we should just talk about this on MSN LoL

[Soul_Angel]

That might be a good idea.

[ViralArtist]

ermm,. lets see. I got stereotyped as a genious yesterday.... by 3 doctors :? ...

[Soul_Angel]

If it's by 3 doctors than it's pretty likely that you are. I've been stereotyped by many people, but it went over the line when people started calling me a retard. I am not retarded. Now I don't let it bother me so I just give in and say that I'm the retard. Sooner or later it's going to catch up to me and I'll regret doing that.

[Toma-kun]

That reminds me, I was stereotyped as a FOB for the longest time because every time I filled out a school form I put that I spoke a language other than English. Aparrently, it's considered a disadvantage. :(

I never put a second language on any form I fill out nowadays.

[ViralArtist]

Pardon my n00b-ness on the matter, but what is FOB??

[Toma-kun]

Fresh off the boat; common stereotype for Asians (and possibly some Europeans) who still retain their accents, behaviors or appearances from their native countries. Comes from a time in American history where immigration was done through ship travel.

[ViralArtist]

Ooohhh yea *n00b* I gotcha,, and yea I study history alot so I know what your talking about now.

[Soul_Angel]

I don't know anything about history. In fact last year I didn't learn a thing out of history...I didn't listen at all.
