Hey Pandas, What Stereotype Are You Associated With And How Does This Affect You? (Closed)

I have literally no idea why but I guess I look like a popular girl and therefore everyone thinks I am one and that I'm dating someone, and neither is true in any way.

Trans-woman attracted to women...

I'm vegan, don't wear make-up except for special occasions, ride a motorcycle, am super liberal/socialist, and build bikes and work on cars for fun. I am uninspired on interior decorating, and am obsessed with practicality.

I do carpentry pretty well.

I love sewing, but mostly so I can make sure all my dresses have pockets.

I have more than one pair of English Doc Marten style shoes.

Obsessed with graphic novels.

Can't work myself up to a side-shave, tho.

I'm a natural bright redhead;
Red hairgirl,carrot top, RED, are names I am referred to daily

That depressed people are not accepted in my society. it's all brushed under the carpet, hidden

when i was like 8 years old me and my family had moved in to a new house it was not the best but it worked (mostly). me and my friend were playing in the back yard and then our racist neighbor who was an old lady sent her dog at us and we ran back to the stairs and she said "if you filthy immigrants get close to my yard again i wont stop the dog next time" it was a terrifying experience for me because i was born in the united states and this would be my first experience with racism and it was not the last.

As a white male, people sometimes assume that I am either oblivious to the privilege that gives me, or that I am hostile to people who not white and male. It extends to being on the hook for anything that white men have done in past 500 years (being the focus of anger as the only white person in a Native American studies class for example). I know - "Boo Hoo" and that these are trivial against all of the BS I don't have to deal with by not being another race or gender, but it is frequent and has become much more so in the last 20 years.

I'm in the age group where I could now be a Karen. Never on my worst day would I treat people the way Karen's do. Who knew there were so many outraged women of a certain age? I think there should be a category called "Not Karen" showing good interactions instead of those infantile tantrums.

I’m covered in tattoos (I’m a tattooist so it goes with the job), scrawny and I wear second hand men’s clothes and no makeup. So, naturally, I have to be either a castrating dyke, a lazy, up to no good welfare recipient or a drug addict. The dyke thing is funny and can be quite useful since I am rarely harassed by would be suitors who find me a bit too scary to their liking and probably not sexy enough. But the other things are infuriating. I’ve worked hard all my life and never was on welfare, ever. And I never did drugs either. But people judge me and put me in a corner without knowing me, just because of the way I look. Because of that I always try not to judge people myself too quickly, it’s easily done and can hurt more than a reputation

I quite enjoy the looks on people's faces when I explain that despite owning several firearms, I'm not the racist, homophobic, misogynist, xenophobic, Trump supporter they expected. Most folks are pleasantly surprised, some are disappointed.

Apparently, I'm a health nut because I'm a Vegetarian (and have been since my childhood). I also happen to be interested in nutrition and I do daily exercise. It's too much for some people. Apart from the jokes, they assume that I only eat organic, shop at expensive health stores and, worse, that I don't allow my child to have something sweet. Heard that a few times. It hurts.

A Pole is a thief. Well when we entered to EU a lot of folks whitout perspective in Poland starts searching luck in western countries. Ant most of them were not the brightest gems of our society. When I was in my early 20 I work in Netherlands during Summer, between semesters at the Uni. There was a plate in every single supermarket in the area, in Polish, that every theft will be punish by €200 fee, No matter how valuable stolen thing was. So during Shopping we spoke to each other in english, because we were so embarrassed about people watching us constantly.

Since I haven’t come out as bisexual yet, my family just assumes that I only like boys. “You got a boyfriend yet?” or “Now you stay away from those yucky boys, you here?” and I’m just like bUt wHaT iF i LiKe gIrLs???

I'm LGBTQ+, EVERYONE assumes I'm straight and cis, cuz I "look normal" even though I have said stuff like my preferred pronouns and preferred name. I just get ignored.

pick me bitch.
I hate it.
I'm short.
short people sometimes put too much effort into getting attention because they feel like they'll go unnoticed
its called the napoleon complex.
I hate being called a pick me.
its horrible. everyone thinks I'm such a prude and s**t. I'm not! and then when I try to be less of a prude everyone calls me a hoe?
its hella f****d up and I pay thousands of dollars year for therapy because of it.

I can be two stereotypes. 1. Shy girl. I can get loud sometimes I guess but most of the time I’m that shy girl drawing in the corner internally pleading you to talk to me. 2. Dark humor and inappropriate jokes all day, making you question what happened to me shyly shoving my face into my book/clipboard and how 30 minutes later I’m talking about how my Pinterest is filled with 2013 cat memes. Well, I also have a sort of stereotypical friend, too. Energetic, super loud. Childish. The kind of friend you probably wouldn’t make nowadays but since you’ve known each other for so long it kinda just works.

As someone who is bisexual I get stereotyped by “not looking gay enough” and also people think I’m just “confused” even in my own LGBTQ+ community

I am left handed. It's silly questions I get. Have you always been left handed and how do you write like that? It's not offensive, just dumb.

Infuriates me that ignorant foreigners assume that because I am a Caucasian South African, I must automatically be a racist.

I'm a Christian so I do not understand basic concepts of science. Oh, and mind is as narrow as the eye of a needle.

I identify as bi-gendered, bi-sexual, and non monogamous. I'm physically female and in a committed monogamous relationship with a man, that is all people see. It's particularly challenging as a manager, female and male managers are held to different standards and treated differently by employees, employers, and the public.
