What is your cultures/race biggest stereotype?

[Anonymous]

This was inspired by @JoyGirl 's question What does your cultures traditionally wear look like 😊?
☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻 please check that out too, it was fun to answer.

My culture's biggest stereotypes are:

• We're rude
• We will eat baguettes any day, all day (not every day, more like every other day)
• We make out in public
• We spit on you when we talk 😰 (just bc we want to doesn't mean we do)
• Out wardrobe is that of a supermodels (this one is true)
• We all smoke cigarettes 🚬
• Oui oui oui oui 🥖🥐🇫🇷

I don't know, do I look French? Bc I've been told I look Russian 🤔🤔👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

I'm aware a lot actually do/are but if you generalize saying "all" then that's not a fact. Examples are

>We're always late (A lot are)
>We love Karaoke (True)
>We're poor (Well most are sadly)
>We eat dogs (A Chinese stereotype pushed to our culture just because we're Asians)
>Gold diggers (Made by salty foreigners when who they have a crush on choose an Asian SO. Mostly for Asian girls)
>We all love balut/fertilized duck egg (I personally love it but i think only half or even less than half of the population likes it)
>Too proud (Yeah you can see that a lot in the internet whenever we get presented just for a split second. The global thirst for validation is annoying)
>We're super nice (True but not in my case because i don't get taken advantaged so easily unlike lots of people here.)
>Lazy (Well yeah but that's what made them creative with solutions too)
>Positive thinkers (We just smile even at the worst case scenario. I think i'm just too "privillaged" to be smiling if i lose everything)

The lazy one is a shocker. Japan is known for being extremely hard working, to the point of working themselves to death.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I meant lazy that we do the "redneck" way of solving things.
And yeah I just found out that most of them aren't even creative. Unless they really work for arts. I always thought they all can draw and make music well.

[Dontaaaa]

I'm just going to speak for myself instead on behalf of everyone in the same race as me.


People thinking and saying that I'm trying to "act white" when I'm just simply being myself.

I get told this by black and white people.

Told things like "I'm the whitest black guy they ever met".

It's like I (as a black guy) can't act like anything, but ghetto (and whatever else is sterotyped with being black) without being said I'm trying to be something that I'm not.

Like lemme give you the latest example:
My brother told me he'll take me to a "white people bar" since he thinks I'll like it more than a black people bar.

Like bruh, first of all I don't wanna go to any bar, I wanna chill at the fucking house and drink there.

My brother just thinks because I apparently "act white" then he thinks I'll like going to a "white people bar".

Like dude, no.


Bottom line, it's annoying that I feel like I can't even do shit without stereotyped as a black guy trying to act white.

I ain't trying to act like nothing in particular other than myself, period.

[Dontaaaa]

And to answer your question: Yes, you look French, although I can see why some people think you look Russian, lol

[Mrsposh]

West Indians ( Caribbean) 🇩🇲🇧🇧🇧🇸🇧🇿🇬🇩🇬🇺🇭🇹🇰🇳🇱🇨🇬🇾🇲🇶🇹🇹🇻🇨🇻🇮(just a few of the flags) lol
The Caribbean is a boiling pot of different cultures, some of us are French, Dutch, and English.

Our stereotypes
- We party Hard ( true lol soca, carnival and fetes)
- We can dance (Aslo Very true)
- We are very loud n rowdy ( somewhat true)
- We can Cook ( very true lol west indian cuisine is Superb👌🏾)
- We are poor (Very False lol)
- We are uneducated (Very False)
- We are Mean and aggressive ( Very False)
- We live in a 3rd world country ( Very False)
- We are all super sexy ( somewhat true... most do have a beach body as we live in the tropics)
- The French islands don't like the others (Not true at all)

That's all I can think of right now lol

[Asker]

So basically all the positives are true and the negatives aren't?

[Mrsposh]

I didn't really mention any negatives tho lol... if you have some bad stereotypes about us then post it lol

[Mrsposh]

And as I said those are what I can think of, I'm pretty sure some have nasty things to say... BUT I have never heard any other than what is posted! Take it or leave it lady 🙄

[Asker]

Someone's triggered

[PinkMichae]

One of my culture's:

We eat lots of pasta and pizza (true)
We are good in bed (true)
We have big noses (false)
We are attached to mom (true)
We have mafia connections (true)

The last is a dead give away. Lol

Now I'm considered white by race. And those stereotypes are:

Can't dance (with me very true. Lol)
Inherently racist (very false)
Privileged (false)
Nazis (false)
White supremacist (false)

Nothing good comes from being white in today's world. I don't believe that myself, but it seems like that's the world's view these days.

[exitseven]

I have no mob connections but my wife does. Her cousin married a made guy,

[FunkyMonkee]

I nearly dated a French girl that didn't look at all French.
I come from 4 backgrounds and my people have these traits"
1. Likes to start wars
Thinks they're better than anybody else
Loves to drink, especially beer with pretzels.

2. Loves to drink constantly
Is very tight with a penny
Likes to wear kilts
Likes bagpipes

3. Loves to drink a lot
Loves to get into fights
Tends to take jokes way too seriously
Is VERY catholic
Very superstitious
Otherwise, they tend to be very happy-go-lucky

4. Loves to Polka
Likes to drink, sometimes
Tends to eat very ethnic/traditional types of food

[FunkyMonkee]

You don't look like a French GUY, either!

[Asker]

Good for me

[FunkyMonkee]

Me, too!! I'd much rather look at a naked French girl than a naked French guy.

[Asker]

Good for you. I wouldn't let you look at my naked body regardless of what genitalia I have.

[Asker]

Why are you so pressed about what's in my pants?

[FunkyMonkee]

Why does it matter what's in your pants and who said I gave a shit about it?

[Asker]

You're commenting about what I do and don't look like sweetie. You dumb or something?

[FunkyMonkee]

Why? Do I HAVE to be dumb to comment of what you look like? You showed a picture here of yourself which screams, "I'm a girl!", but you've signed up here as a guy! So, I'd have to say that YOU'RE the dumb one, of the two of us.

[Asker]

Nope, I chose that on purpose sweetie.

[kinggeorge007]

First of all you look gorgeous. I don't know why g@g show you in blue colour. I'm sorry if I mentioned something wrong.

So to answer your question, the older generation and the younger generations are vastly different.

1. Victorian ethics (youngsters are gradually getting away)
2. Lazy
3. Procrastination
4. Corruption
5. Eat rice and curry for all three meals. ie unhealthy diet
6. Not much into enjoying the life in their own way. Most of the people are taught a way of living it and many don't look beyond that. (study - get a job - marry - raise kids - die raising kids)
7. People based politics.
8. Poor (mentally, physically and monetary)
9. Haven't seen the world (physically and most importantly, educationally)
10. Don't know the history.

[Asker]

Thank you, but I chose this account for a reason..

[menina]

Culture (I'm Angolan 🇦🇴 🇦🇴 🇦🇴)

- We're all rich (only 1% of the population is rich)
- We're all corrupt ( some our politicians and military personal are, but the rest of the population isn't)
- We all listen and dance to Kizomba and Kuduro ( I personally don't listen nor dance to these two genres and I know other people who don't)
- We speak Portuguese with a certain accent
- We're loud
- We're arrogant

Race

- We're all criminals
- All women are all fat and ugly
- We don't shower
- All women use wigs and hair extensions
- Women are only good for sex

[purplepoppy]

We're all hobbits.
Everyone owns at least one sheep.
Our diet consists of welsh cakes and cawl.
Everyone plays rugby or sings in a choir.
We stop talking English the second an English man walks in the room.
Everyone is called Jones and works as a miner, farmer or train driver

[TransAm85]

My Grandma was French and Belgium.. Ironically u say Russian, her second husband was from Russia! I think the stereotype of French people is that the women don't shave down there and they only have poodles! lol On my dad's side, German, Swedish, and Norwegian. Germans eat brats, drink beer, and charge too much for their BMW's, Mercedes, and Audi.

[jennifer_bloom]

I guess

that Chinese only care about money and status

a medium sized girl is disgustingly obese

your mother will monitor you for 14 hours a day if your female

Asians think a wife beater is better then a janitor

Your life revolves around honouring your family and not around your own happiness

We’re all virgins at marriage

The only thing men care about is money and looks - and if your a jerk it doesn’t matter

[2facedfa1ry]

i'm part italian, so for italy:
- we eat a LOT of pasta & pizzas
- we dress really nice

- we're a bit snobby

for america (i'm half america):
- we're fat and mostly eat hamburgers, fries and coca
- cowboys
-we're kinda racist
-we're rich
-we're very nationalistic
-we're very loud, outgoing, friendly but kinda fake

[Chiarac2003]

🇮🇹 Good cooks.. yes

mafia connections… no such thing as the mafia.
curvy… no
temper…. Yes…

[Asker]

❤️❤️❤️

[JoyGirl]

You looked Russian to me, but maybe it was because your bio said Russian Republic. 😂

I am Nigerian, and these are the stereotypes that are not true about us…

~We are all poor.
~We are uneducated.
~We eat cockroaches.
~We live in huts.
~We all speak Nigerian Pidgin English.
~We are all loud.

Like no, we live in houses…LOL

[Dontaaaa]

When you said you were Nigerian I just had to comment. I'm Nigerian too! (Partly). I get the Nigerian side of me from my dad and my mom is just African American.

[JoyGirl]

@vendela I think I can see the French, now. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. 😩

@dontaaaa Oh, noice! What tribe is your dad from? 😊

[Dontaaaa]

@JoyGirl

Unfortunately, I don't know.

I hardly ever spoken to him over text and phone. I never seen him in person either, lol.

[JoyGirl]

@Dontaaaa Ahhhh…sorry. 😅😅😅
Gotcha!

[RolandCuthbert]

I only know these;

1, 2, 3, and 6.

Of course, none of them are true. But Paris is my favorite city.

[Asker]

It is true that we dress like supermodels. Oui oui

[RolandCuthbert]

Haha! Well, I was there mostly to work. So the folks in my office didn't dress that way normally.

But there were quite a lot of British folks there. Actually the head of FCB Europe was British.

This was a long, long time ago. I used to work for these guys.

https://www.fcb.com/

[EnglishEuropean]

UK here. A lot of us do drink tea. But we don't wear bowler hats. Ever.

Also we hate foreigners for some reason.

Not typical; just stereotypical

[Guardian45]

I love this Q, but have a LOT of difficulty with it as I am multiracial, multicultural, multiethnic, so I guess I'm an alien👽no matter which way you look at it!🤡👺👹👻👾

[Guardian45]

I should be a polyglot with all the languages in my immediate and close-related family. English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Nigerian, Dutch, Gaelic, German & Afrikaan. Complicating my history direct ancestors spoke Scandinavian languages, Polish, Ukrainian & Russian.

[Guardian45]

I can ONLY speak English, French & Japanese!

[Asker]

Only? That's a lot

[Guardian45]

🙂🙃😉

[Guardian45]

Grandpa spoke 8 languages, Dad spoke 5.

[Asker]

3 is still a lot! I can only speak one and barely get through any French

[Guardian45]

Pourquoi?

[Asker]

parce que j'ai raté mes cours

[SamIam96]

I'm a white guy. Where do we start...

If I succeed, it's been handed to me on a silver plate.

If I fail, I'm incompetent.

No pressure...

[NathanDavis]

"but you don't look Mexican..."

¬¬

[JoyGirl]

LOL
Like no, I look like an alien. 😂😂😂

[NathanDavis]

@JoyGirl I might as well be!! lol

a few would say that sometimes "not American enough, not Texan enough, not Mexican enough"

[JoyGirl]

😂😂😂

[jamesgoldman]

Fish, chips, cup o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins

[RafaRodri]

That English are lazy there’s a stereotype amongst foreign workers in the UK that the English workers are lazy

[EnglishEuropean]

This likely dates back to the early 1970s when the whole country was on strike.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

I'm Luxembourgish, biggest stereotypes of us is being rich snobs who hate foreigners and want to remain who they are with no social progress. And that we are living in a kinda ivory tower in luxury

[bigpauly]

Italian side I get the mob thing and pasta lol.
Puerto Rican side that we are aggressive, fight a lot and are lazy.

so both being that I like to fight lol

[exitseven]

I am of Italian decent. Everyone thinks they are all in the Mafia.

[Shamalien]

Big noses, greedy, sneaky, stingy, smelly, intelligent, funny, wealthy
