Personally, I hate that stereotype about how all asians talk the language, and then they have to say, "Ching Chang Chong" to add to it. It makes me mad, to say the least, that they have the ignorance to say that. They're too ignorant to deny the stereotype and accept it.

My sister get's me angry because, when I'm watching anime or something, she'll go," Is that Chinese cartoons!? Those are stupid!"

I'll respond," It's Japanese cartoons and it's not stupid."

And she has the nerve to say," Chinese, Japanese same thing, they speak the same, 'Ching Chang Chong.' "

Hmm...the Asian people/martial artists thing. It seems to apply to about 5% of them. ALthough I will admit, from having to be around a ton of them(place where I live has an unusual concentration)...a stereotype that is ALMOST ok (no stereotype is ok) is that Asians play tennis. It seems that about 75% of them are good enough to compete. If I ever go to a tennis court on a Sunday evening about 9 out of 10 people there are(or at least look) Asian.

Eh the only stereotypes I put of people are ones that are true. E.g. all tall people are tall. All intelligent people are intelligent. Long distance runners have endurance. Stuff that's excessively obvious.

The thing I don't like is referring to a certain people or race as "them." Every person is different and I don't think people should be bound to a single pronoun by race.

Anything having to do with countries, like "All Americans are stupid" or "The Canadians are all wimps."

There's so many to mention, that all Italians have ties to the mafia, that all Muslims are terrorist, that the French are fruity little wimps.

Now there are some that aren't too bad, but like stated before, no stereotype is good. Like that Asians are good at math, or that all southerns are NASCAR fans.

Stereotypes are never good, and thinking basing a group of people because of one person is just plain idiotic and ignorant.

Hey, we were talking about the stereotypes we hated... not the ones that are true.



Personally, I can think of a few that bug me. But why add fuel to that fire. I guess I can't say to much though, as I find myself using them occasionally.

ppfff... Americans... Just kidding.

Probably the race or the sexest would be the worst stereotypes. (In my opinion)

I hate how people say Jewish people have big noses, People are all confused when I don't have a big nose but I am indeed a half jew.

It's not a stereotype as such, but I hate the way Australians are portrayed in movies, with the horrendously fake accents. Did anyone watch Outback Jack? That's what a REAL Aussie accent sounds like (don't listen to Steve Irwin... No one talks like that!)

Sometimes Aussies add fuel to the fire though, like telling innocent overseas people that we ride kangaroos to school and have crocs in the pool. It's all in good fun though, when we're making fun of ourselves.

What about the British, people think they have bad teeth and talk really strangely when really Americans are the ones that speak bad english.

I'm on Gamespot, where the stereotype is that there is no such thing as a girl gamer. But that's a lie. There are a lot of girls that are gamers, and can own me in Tekken.

You know, for all of the stereotypes presented thus far, I'm surprised no talk of black stereotypes has come up.

Just found it interesting to note.

Ditto. Except for the half-jew part. I hate the stereo-types about us being cheap. Just 'cause I am, it doesn't mean all jews are!

Canadian stereo types. I stoped watching family guy after the old "Canada sucks" jokes. All canadians like hockey? I couldn't care less about hockey, and I don't say "Aboot". Nobody I know says "Aboot". I always hated the stereo type "All people living in atlantic canada are drunks".

well that's my rant on canadian stereo types.

That's one of the funniest jokes ever on that show IMO.

You're missing out, man. That was just in one episode. What I love about family guy is that they find time to make fun of EVERYBODY. They're like Strong Bad, except in a less personal, more edgy way... You should start watching it again. I think you'd really like it

It's not really the fact that either the Americans or the Brits speak the language wrong. An English person thinks an American person sounds weird, and the American thinks the same way anout the English person. But neither will admit that they themselves sound funny, because they think that they are right.




Does that make sense? I thought not......

I dont like any sterotype that is actually fed by so many people actually making themselves part of the sterotype. Like that all black people are gangsta's. Unless you're living under a box with a computer then you've probably noticed alot of people actually going around in jeans down to their knees, backwards trucker hat and bandana under it.

Sounds like you're more upset with the people that perpetuate the stereotypes than with the stereotypes themselves..
I agree with you. When you complain about someone being racist, sexist, etc, then you back up the stereotype they're using by doing something stupid, you pretty much have no right to complain.

I hate the Asian type stereotypes. Like someone saw some calligraphy on some thing, and they're like "it's Japanese!", and I'm like, "No, it's Chinese!", and they're like "There's a difference?"

grr...

And there's another where people are like "are you Chinese?", and I'm like "yeah, I'm half Chinese.", and they're like "Ching Chong Chang! What does that mean?", and I'm like "that doesn't mean anything."

Like what Goblin said, but with words.
