Do You Fit The Stereotype For You Ethnicity?? If Not...?

Question

State what makes you different.

I'm willing to bet that 70% of people will say they don't fit they're stereotype, which seems silly.

But then again, most people who are aware of stereotypes try their best not be associated with it, don't you think?

Answer 1

Yes. Asian. I am not smart by Asian standards, but by Americans, yeah I am. My AIM sn has "aznz" in it. I am a bit compliant, obedient, submissive, and humble. I am quiet and stoic with strangers.

Physically--yes and no. I am short but I am not skinny. I am muscular and toned. Not hairy. Do not have small feet.

I fit some stereotypes.

Answer 2

Well I'm mixed race but I can try to answer....

I'm half asian so lets start there..

I'm really bad at math, I'm good in history.

I'm half black so.....

I like fried chicken, I Luv rap, Don't need fake hair cause my hair is too soft.

I know I shouldn't really answer this question but,I'm two races so I have two stereotypes

Answer 3

it is said that black people love watermelon. my answer to it is ABSOLUTLY!! show me one person who doesn't and i'll show you someone who doesn't know what they are missing!

watermelon is GREAT!!!

Answer 4

well, I like watermelon, grits, fried chicken, greens, so I guess i fit the stereotype. I don't like rap music though. and I don't have a big butt.

Answer 5

Er I'm not smart, I suck at math, don't know martial arts, not short, my eyes aren't small or slanted, pretty hairy.

Hmm a true stereotype is that I own a rice cooker.  

Answer 6

I've seen the stereotypes but honestly i'm not too familiar. i guess i would be more familiar if i lived in an area of the country where we werent the majority.

I DO NOT listen to "ranchera" music. I'm not...illegal? (i know most people know we're not ALL illegal, u know.)  um.... let's c,  I'm not a high school dropout. LOL I love books. what else? i guess ur question's kinda interesting.

these questions, yes, i answer. but what's with them? lol "cultures & groups" should talk about more CULTURE & not just GROUPS.

:)

Answer 7

Let me see:

Sagging? No I just war baggy pants.

Dew Rag? Yes, to keep my hair nice, and also I look decent.

Hoodie? Yes, but only when it rains or its a little chilly. My hoodies have designs so why shouldn't I wear them?

Do I live in the hood? No, but my neighborhood could use a little work.

Am I a thug? No, I'd be quite offended if I'm called that.

Do I use proper grammar? Yeah.

I respect my elders? Yeah.

Do I say the n word? Maybe once or twice a year, and that's usually when I'm pissed.

Am I racists towards whites? No.

Do I commit crimes? No, but I have done stupid things, but hey I'm a teenager right?

Do I listen to rap? Not really. I listen to quality music, which may include quality rap...

Do I walk with a lean? No, I walk straight.

Is my hair nappy? Yeah, but its long and I have it covered when its a mess.

That's all I can think of for the moment... So my appearance a little, but my actions, not at all really.

Chicken? h**l yeah.

Answer 11

Sadly... Yeah. I'm Irish and English. I love to drink, (come from a family of alcoholics), I am a redhead who sunburns all too easily and I do have bad teeth.
