Stereotypes are so true
People tend to remember what reinforces our views about the world.Has anyone else noticed this? Stereotypes are incredibly true, despite what people like to say.
I met a guy who's a tea-party conservative. He doesn't like black people, he's a gun hobbyist, he's white, he drives a big ford pickup truck, loathes Obama.
I met several female college students from Brazil. Very attractive, as the everyone says.
I ran into a women who came here from Russian when she was eight or so. Very noticable Russian accent, has friends named 'Sergi' and 'Vlad', loves normal Russian foods.
I went to a comic book store. Walking outside was a middle aged guy with a the stereotypical comic-book kid: chubby, glasses, about twelve years old. I went inside, there were the sterotypical nerdy, overweight, thirtish guys with weird facial hair and ponytails.
I met a guy who's gay. He's liberal, not masculine in the least, speaks in a higher tone of voice, gossips and slanders like a women, ect.
I ran into a lesbian--very short hair, masculine clothing, couldn't tell she was female from ten yards off.
My point is, who hasn't found that stererotypes are very true? So therefore, why do people rail against them?
My whore of a friend...
Whore of a friend eh? Interesting.....interesting.
She didn't like me labeling her as just a whore, so I came up with whore of a friend. I mean she deserved the title...she slept with my entire floor Freshman year aside from my roommate and myself.
Meh. My favorite is when some random douche gets shocked that I dont follow Hispanic stereotypes or that they're shocked than Im not white.

Therefore, if you meet someone that fits your schema for what that person should be, you're more likely to remember that than someone who does not.
A lot of your list is pretty "duh" or arent even really stereotypes.
A woman from Russia with a Russian accent and two friends with common Russian names....I dont understand how it's stereotypical for someone to act their nationality. An attractive Brazilian female? There are plenty of attractive (and un-attractive) Brazilian girls, and the stereotype regarding Brazilian girls generally is not in outward physical appearance. As for the teabagger, the vast majority of the teabaggers ARE white.
So what's the standard 'white stereotype'
I've heard a lot of 'cultural stereotypes' for whites - like redneck . . . but what exactly is considered of *all* white peeps?
I went to a comic book store. Walking outside was a middle aged guy with a the stereotypical comic-book kid: chubby, glasses, about twelve years old. I went inside, there were the sterotypical nerdy, overweight, thirtish guys with weird facial hair and ponytails.
Dammitall, I had you figured for an Ethiopian Jew. :lol:
Except for you!
So you're just bitter with jealously.
interesting . . . interesting
