Do you perpetuate your stereotype what ever it may be?

I'm an Italian from Brooklyn that can write a coherent sentence, ski, play piano and guitar, write music and talk with some knowledge about law, history and science. I don't wear gold jewelry, fix my own car, trash women or work out.

So...maybe not.

Wait, let me go turn down the Bette Middler CD that's playing right now...

<flits over to the stereo>

Ok, so other than my rainbow bathroom, Judy Garland DVDs, and the Dolly Parton collectibles, I would have to say the only stereotypical stuff in my life is my leather pant collection, I only wear Calvin Klein underwear, I call everyone girlfriend or dollface, and I have a lot of buttsex.

Still looking for the stereotype there... but no.

I wish people wouldn't be so subtle!

Hmm, dunno.

White, extremely British, bi-male, geeky, skanky. Hmmm.
Also quite OCD, car-obsessed, cult-raised...?!

You may be lazy, geeky and skanky, but these are not intrinsically British qualities. Unless you're working class and on benefits (but then geeky would probably be out).

No offence to anyone who still sees themself as working class - after the New Labour revolution, the UK is now a classless society.

Self-deprecation is also a British quality tho, meaning you have to read between the lines. :wink:

It's odd because on here there's an exaggeration of certain parts of my personality which don't necessarily come through irl - and also a reluctance to say what I really feel about myself because I don't want to look a twit, or have it taken the wrong way. :p

Guess I'm quite complicated. But the sensible, well-educated and cautious side of me I tend not to focus on here, for some reason - finding it easier to give precedence to the light-hearted aspects.. :/

I'll accept lazy and skanky as working class self-deprecation, then.

One therefore assumes that at 11:30am on a Monday you'll be at work? :rolleyes:

Of course sarcasm is also a Great British quality...

In certain ways I do. I am Asian/hapa. I'm good at math and science and I'm a hard worker. I have a strict mother with high expectations. I'm thin. I married a Caucasian man. I enjoy rice and foods that have ingredients that make some Caucasian people squeamish. I can be competitive, when competitiveness is appropriate.

In other ways, no.

Some people just think in stereotypes and don't see the world has it really is. I have been constantly frustrated by people taking one facet of my life and seeing me only through that lens, despite all evidence to the contrary. That frustration has led me to the belief that too many people see what they're inclined to see, so that if a person is a lazy thinker and thinks in terms of stereotypes and fictional tropes, that no matter how one's behavior violates the "rules" of those stereotypes or tropes, those lazy thinkers will persist in believing whatever label they pegged you with initially.

Well, I don't perpetuate the stereotype, but I do let it play out for some people. I'm am (or was) a big-boobed blonde with a figure and decent looks. When meeting a new client or contractor, usually both male, I allow them to follow their instincts on how to treat me. Then it's my turn to usually correct them by displaying my intelligence and experience or become very endeared to them for treating me like an equal. I'm find more of the latter, thankfully! It is very refreshing sometimes to see Southern men step from behind the good ole boy role more and more. Still some of them staunchly perpetuate their stereotype, sadly.

And Billijean, I believe you and I are sisters separated at birth! LOL! My real sister and I hardly look alike at all.

The nurse married to a doctor.
People tend to think nurses are around doctors so....
But not really. My husband was visiting a friend , didnt work there.

I see far more nurses and cops. Nurses and cops seem to understand each other.
