Since we're hijacking this thread for non-race stereotypes...

Being tall...
Good: Can get things off the top shelf
Bad: People assume you want to get things off the top shelf for them

I am English

Good: We are elegant, classy and intelligent
Bad: We have horribly bad teeth.
(I have great teeth...)

And since everyone else is doing non race stereotypes, how about one for being a girl...

Good: We are sensitive and better at communicating.
Bad: If we have a bad day or are in a bad mood, it's immediately assumed that it's PMS.

Here's a stereotype that rings true for me.

Good: I have a nice tan that highlights my tone physique, but I'm not muscular, only the illusion of it.
Bad: I am mistaken for every dark skinned asian race except chinese.

I'm Irish

Good: I can drink like a horse
bad: people assume I'm a brawler and I've had to get in my fair share of fights because being Irish suddenly means I only want to fight?!?!?!

I like that one, whenever I go for dimsum they always greet me in English and give me crappy tea until I specifically ask for my usual in Canto. Same goes for any businesses in Chinatown, it's hilarious when they talk about ripping you off behind your back without knowing that you can understand them perfectly.

LOL same thing happens to me too.

Tron_fdc · 10-20-2005, 05:33 PM

Tall(ish) Canadian in Asia

Good: The ladies love the chest hair and assume you have a massive hammer.
Bad: Automatically think you can sing "My heart goes on" by Celine dion. I proved that theory to be HORRIBLY wrong. Had the mic taken away actually (but not without a drunken fight).

NEEAAAAAARRRR
FAAAAAAAAAR
WHEEEEEREEEEEEVEEER YOUUUUU ARRRREEEE

(laugh all you want, but I'd like to hear any of you crackers sing it)

Shawnski · 10-20-2005, 05:45 PM

On being a sex maniac growing up

The good: People sing your praises
The bad: The lyrics of what they sang

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my past loves sent to me

Twelve hummers humming,
Eleven screamers screaming,
Ten bods a-heaping,
Nine girls lap-dancing,
Eight lips a-licking,
Seven sperm a-swimming,
Six blondes a-laying,

Five - blister - things,

Four slutty words,
Three mad men,
Two plastic gloves,
And a cartridge in my IV

:P

I know what you mean. I'm not Vietnamese but I think that applies to any asian with some sort of Asian "Gangster" feature. Bangs, tight black clothes, etc.
