Steriotypes

Postby Big-D on Mon Nov 01, 2004 12:44 pm

i thought it would be cool if you post steriotypes about anything.
in everyday life ignorant people such as myself and many others
walk around thinking these statements to be true i want to rid this
habbit by emphasizing on some common steriotypes.

all british have bad teeth
us americans are all fat
fleamarkets have tons of bootlegs
white men cant jump
coca cola had cocaine in it at one time
russians drink a lot

I'm not gonna post any I just want to help...

all british have bad teeth


I lived there, and the large percentage have less than acceptable teeth. It's not pleasant.

us americans are all fat


If I remember correctly Americans have statistically the highest level of obesity in the World. Might be wrong on this though.

fleamarkets have tons of bootlegs


That's pretty much true, most places you go to have at least one stall with bootleg stuff.

white men cant jump


Not true, but it seems more likely that black people are naturally better leapers.

coca cola had cocaine in it at one time


It did. Check it out at Snopes

russians drink a lot


Dunno.

Lanky Man is an attention whore.

Mere speculation if you ask me. :? You haven't known me long enough to make that your opinion.

Would it be better if I left?
If 1/2 of you really dislike me, what's keeping me from staying? I don't know. Maybe I should leave. If I am truely as bad as Homer, maybe I should. Maybe I shouldn't. Maybe I should endure the bullshit that people say. Whatever.

Nah, don't leave. No reason for you to leave.

Just tone down the attention seeking. Make a contribution to the thread instead of being the funny man & or being the "picked on".

It gets lame & old quite fast.

all british have bad teeth


I have heard this before, i dont really understand where it comes from. Im 1/2 English 1/2 Italian and i dont have Bad teeth, maybe my teeth come from my Italian side. I dont know anybody with really bad teeth.
Although i was in a fight in a club and got head butted and 1 of my front top teeth got broken in 1/2, so i had that capped, SO i suppose technically i have bad teeth, not that you can notice i have actually had it capped.

I lived there, and the large percentage have less than acceptable teeth. It's not pleasant


Maybe im so used to seeing “bad teeth” that i dont notice it anymore. When you say large percentage, how large would you say, 60% or maybe 80%, thats just daft.

As i was writing i started to think about my friends, family and anybody else that i run into on the regular and i decided that i cant defend this stereotype...cos its probably very true. I would say that more than 50% of people over here have less than perfectly average teeth, making “Jae's” (Cough*""wanker""*CoughCough)statement pretty true. How ever, its not terrible, im not talking about people smiling and showing them shiny black teeth, is aint anywhere near that bad, but stereotypes are always taken to there extremes.

I pity you, Calven.

Bad teeth: not straight and/or yellow(ish) in colour and/or broken and/or not pleasant looking and/or missing.

The less Dr. Nick tries to seek attention, the more he ends up attracting.

Anywho's, stereotypes I've heard quite often:

Some people don't understand stereotypes here (ahem Lankyman's last post) - it's when you look at something fitting into a certain preset category in society and assume that everything in the group has the same characteristics (which usually isn't true) - ie all teenagers are shoplifters, all blondes, cheerleaders, jocks, and blonde cheerleading jocks are dumb. etc.

If you're going to post, make sure you know what you're talking about.
