Hey Pandas, What's A Common Stereotype That Gets On Your Nerves? (Closed)

That all Republicans in the USA are evil, stupid and are sheeple that binge on Kool-Aid.
Its only the ones still living,,,,,,

That PTSD only happens to veterans

Every girl listening to kpop are stupid and obsessed stalkers. And the male fans are gay.

I spent 24 yrs in the military, both the Army and the Marines....
Stereotypes about the military

You're only in the military because you're too dumb to get a real job...
Everyone is brainwashed into unthinking obedience to any order...
That we can't think for ourselves and that any situation not covered by orders or regulations will cause us to freeze up and not know what to do....
Everyone is trained to be a hair trigger killer....
That just being in the military somehow makes you a better person - more patriotic, pure, honest, and honorable - than anyone else....
That "military grade" or "Milspec" means it's super-duper quality, nope it means it was made by the lowest bidder....

there's so many more.

That spiritually oriented and/or psychically gifted people are all weird and kooky, draped in tie dyed outfits and dangly jewellery - as if all people like that are stupid and gullible, believing in ANYthing! (Influence of movies, I guess). Actually, we look pretty ordinary and have day jobs. We cop a lot of flak from people who class themselves as 'normal' because ignorance and fear is so widespread. Honestly, it's more acceptable to be gay than to come out as psychic. Yes, there are frauds but there are fraudulent types in every walk of life. Keep your head on straight, do research and use critical thinking when dealing with anybody you don't know or a subject you know nothing about.

All African Americans are the same color is false. I have had Egyptian descendant,American born friends. Also, south African descendant American born friends. Every Continent has multiple races and cultures somewhere. Everyone being different makes this earth interesting.

clothes = gender

I cannot tell you how many times kids at school go "you have to dress in between to actually be nonbinary" bro stfu i dress how i want, both my bsfs are trans guys and one wears skirts so people say hes faking or not actually trans. the other is under the stress of trying to be so masc and feeling like he needs to act tough and be a man to be a man and he shuts his feelings away but really hes perfect the way he is and stereotypes are stupid

That Africans are ignorant and Africa is a shithole. Africa invented writing, geometry, architecture, probably wheels, fire, clothing, and math. The oldest buildings are in africa. The oldest calendars. The oldest traces of civilisation and religion. Please f**k off with the racism. You inherited culture from us. Then came back after learning stuff from the chinese (gunpowder) and from the muslims (steel), and destroyed our continent. It is YOUR (colonialists) fault that this place is disorganised.

Puppies are sOoOo much work! I have four month old old pupster and she can stay in her crate for nearly 3 hours! We can also take her on the trips to see my grandma (btw she is a golden retriever)

A lot of people assume that because I have autism, I couldn't possibly be smart enough to be in advanced placement classes. This leads to a lot of hassle about scheduling and it's kinda annoying

Hear me! Not all Greeks are gamers!

I don't know where this stereotype of coming from, but for some reason, many people assume that Greeks are experts in technology and have awkward social skills!

Greeks are a proud people with culture dating back to thousands of years for crying out loud!

Everyone who likes Harry Potter is transphobic. I absolutely despise J.K. Rowling but I still think she is a good author and I like Harry Potter.

that if you are german you are a nazi (it's also worse because i have blond hair and blue-grey eyes)

That blondes are dumb. I am one of the smartest students in my grade, and rarely fail homework assignments. I know this stereotype isn't used as much as it once was, but it's still used.

All of them. Every single one. I mean yeah, SOMETIMES they’re true but not all the time and it bothers me that people just group people based off of opinions

The whole “taco muncher” or “border hopper” thing. Just stop. It’s not funny. Coming from a half-mexican with a Mexican immigrant father/grandparents.

i am an identical twin so people think we like the same things and enjoy shaing every thing and it suck because we are not seen as two different people but as one person. so if 1 gets into trouble we both do. if my twin fails a college class i also get in to trouble. and we dont have names we are just called twin or twins. im 16 to put this into context.

Ridiculously negative assumptions (and nearly every movie portrayal) about Christians - from people who've likely never had a serious conversation with a genuine one. Also how casually people bash us without their statements/harshness being questioned.

That people who get good grades hate fun and act like robots. I just like learning.

That all Canadian people are polite…obviously people who think that’s true haven’t met people from Quebec, they’re pretty rude.
