What are some of your least favorite stereotypes?
My absolute least-favorite is probably “blondes are stupid”. That one is so STUPID. Hair color has nothing to do with intelligence. It might bother me extra because I am blond, but still, it’s very annoying.
I also hate the “gay guys are attracted to every guy they see”. No, they’re not.

MIlo here: “All cats are grey in the dark.”
All people who wear glasses are geeks.
All Mexicans are lazy.
All gay guys are promiscuous and have AIDS.
I hate all stereotypes! I have never fit into anyone’s stereotype. I resent being lumped into one. There is no such thing as a typical anything when it is referring to human beings or most of nature.
@loofa hahahaah! Have you actually heard “mexicans are lazy”? Please tell me in what situation that was in! Hahaha
All Soldiers joined the Army because they were poor
All Germans are Nazis
All people that believe in God believe in creation
Even worse are Catholic stereotypes.
Catholics worship idols and Mary.
Catholics are boy-touchers.
Catholic priests molest at a much higher rate than any other profession. (No one ever actually says that one, but it’s implied, and totally false).
opposite of @Loofa – my mom’s neighbor will only hire Mexicans to do his lawn – why? Because it’s their calling, of course! (The exact words from his mouth. Good gravy!)
All homeless people are either dangerous or mentally ill.
@Facade
No, it’s not. All Mary and the Saints can do is pray for you to God.
As for idols, what kind of idols are you thinking of?
@Dansedescygnes all the little statues
..don’t Catholics pray to Mary, or am I completely off track?
@Facade
Statues don’t do anything. They’re completely symbolic and mainly decoration. As for Mary, a person can ask Mary to pray to God for them—that’s about it. Mary is venerated and because she is the Mother of God, she is very important and sometimes seen as more important than other saints, but we don’t worship her as a goddess or demigod or something. All she can do is pray to God for us.
That all white people from rural areas are racist.
That’s the one that has affected me the most.
@boots – you reminded me of something! Also – great answer. :)
People from the south are dumb. It’s the whole southern accent – there have been studies that show that people do think they aren’t as intelligent – due to the southern accent. I beg to differ!
@cak
What about an upper class Louisiana “southern belle” accent? That always sounded sophisticated to me…
By the way, I don’t think someone is dumb for that accent, I’m just sayin’...
@cak I kinda feel that way..I can’t help it!
@Dansedescygnes – There are a lot of variances to the southern accent – the one you reference is one that is quite easier on the ear! There is a twangy version that can be harsh to hear, but again, it doesn’t show the level of one’s intelligence.
@Facade – No harm, no foul – to me, but there are those that really take it to heart. I’m comfortable with the person I am.
There are stereotypes, no matter how much we don’t like them, New Yorkers are rude. funny, every time I’ve been to NY, they are very kind and helpful. People (some) in the south will tell someone they think are from the North – “Oh, I can tell you are from the north!” They get that from either an action or an accent. It happens, it stinks, but it’s part of everyday life.
Fat, bald, middle-aged guys are unattractive.
@Blondesjon
Well, I don’t find that attractive, but I don’t assume other people don’t.
@Blondesjon
Well, I mean, it’s just a preference and there are some preferences that are more common than others. Also, I’m 17, it’d be kind of odd if I found that attractive…
And only slightly more uncomfortable than this thread has become.
@Blondesjon – I’m watching this and cringing! I’m also keeping in mind that jonsblond is very attracted to you – I’d say you are a winner!
@Blondesjon
I only commented because it didn’t seem like it was a stereotype, but just a commonly held preference. It’s not like people say “I’m going to avoid fat, bald, middle-aged men because I assume they’re unattractive” it’s more “I don’t find fat, bald, middle-aged men attractive” and that’s not a stereotype, that’s a preference.
I dont like any stereotypes, but the ones i have personally dealt with- All pretty girls are slutty dumb bitches and all the poor nerdy girls are innocent and picked on for no reason.
All young mothers are bad mothers and live off welfare.
Caring about how you look is shallow.
You are a bad person if you don’t believe in god.
- All men ever think about is sex
– Women are worse drivers than men
– Every muslim person is a terrorist
Mexicans have burros and giant sombreros
-All Americans are fat and stupid
-Every European is a sex crazed liberal hippie.
@Dansedescygnes: This isn’t a supplication to Mary to pray for the sinner who is saying the “Hail Mary”?
“Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
@gailcalled: that is asking Mary to pray for us, but it’s along the same lines as you asking me to pray for a sick friend. It’s not necessarily the same as worship—although the distinction is rather fine, I’ll admit.
@gailcalled
Yeah, that’s the point. Mary prays to God for you.
That good a lookin’ women with a nice body is also stupid. humph!
@Dutchess12
Call me a chauvinist but there’s just something about a helpless woman who needs a big strong man that gets my motor going. It’s OK if they’re smart and just pretend to be dumb in the bedroom too. :)
Why would anyone, man or woman, pretend to be dumb in the bedroom. And what would that entail? Putting the pillows at the foot of the bed?
@gailcalled Good question! I played the dumb blond on the pool table because it made that much easier to wax their arrogant, egotistical, macho butts!! By the time they realized they’d been had, I was taking their money!
Hmmm, nothin’ like a dumb blonde on a pool table!
@elijahsuicide it makes it really, really hard to get the balls in the pockets when you have dumb blonds ON the table!! I just hate it when they do that. LOL!!
That all Canadians eat raw onions for breakfast and then spend the rest of the day cutting down trees with their fists.
