Stereotyping

eddiemcgarrigle · 18 Nov 2007 at 19:23

Just because I collect dolls (google Von Abt and you'll see exactly what my interest in dolls means), people assume I still live with my parents, stay in all day and am too shy to speak to girls. In reality, I'm happily married with a 20 month old son and have a nice career plucking people to safety from fires and car crashes.

PS, when on holiday I'm frequently mistaken for being German, given my hobby is mainly concentrated on WWII it always makes the missus smile wryly.

I have Medium-Longhair, of course I've been stereotyped.

People have called me a chav for wearing clothes and trainers branded adidas and ecko.

cos i'm chinese, i must know kung fu. it doesn't really help my case that i do though haha.

since i'm asian, i must be good at maths. again doesn't really help that i'm an accountant.

since i'm an accountant, i must be boring - well, possibly.

since i'm chinese, i must own a takeaway. finally, doesn't really help that i do.

since i'm chinese, i must have a small... well, enough said

I HAVEN'T BEEN STEREOTYPED. I AM A STEREOTYPE.

Did you just admit to having a pencil willy?! I guess you could also say that chinese people are normally very honourable aswell!

people call me 'gangsta' or 'fiddy(cent)' because I wear a new era hat and like hip hop. Ive also been called a 'drifter' because I have skipped classes and im in my last year in school, which I found to be a hilariously awesome title.

I asked him if he was surprised that a 49 year old bloke was listening to All That Remains and he was gobsmacked.....

Clawfinger, American Headcharge, Slayer, The Haunted, Corrosion Of Conformity, SOAD etc etc and promised he would never stereotype customers again.

Will you be my Dad?

I suppose I only stereotype chavs. If you're wearing sports gear and not a sporty person then you are a chav in my book.

Other than that I don't. I get stereotyped myself though. Gay/Goth/Emo/Oh and old man (college). Gays the worst one though. Think it's my long hair. Meh

Next time tell the oafish greasemonkey to get his mits of your iPod.

But then again only the kind of 'Jobs' lovin iPod owner would tell a stranger where their hardware was...

People look at me and instantly think I am Hiro Nakamura, until I actually met this guy, who works for The Chase and is in fact currently doing the cartoon version of Heroes. The best part is that the character intro he's working on is Hiro as well. Well, he looks like this:

I see several Hiro Nakamura lookalikes a day, it's quite a common look it seems.
