Probably the biggest stereotype for Americans is that we're all fat.

It doesn't really help that even our news talks about how everyone's not just overweight, but morbidly obese. Like there's no difference between "average weight" and "morbidly obese". Once you're ten pounds over, it's hey, get on a diet, fatty, before you cause an earth quake!

It's really ridiculous. I look around and I see a lot more thin or average-build people than fat ones. I'm not sure if it's just because of where I live or what, but I don't see the "fat epidemic" that everyone's talking about.

I have a question... what with the being Cambodian and hating doughnuts?

Sorry I have a headache and I apparently can't type clear thoughts...lol.

I had some people tell me that I was emo because I dyed my hair a lot.

Pocket: I know the feeling, I was considered emo because I dressed differently than everyone else in my class (and it wasn't even in black O_o; )

@Johnny: Did you hear the joke that Adam Hills did about why American's are obese?

Quote:

There is more obesity in America than any other country on the planet and I reckon I've worked out why. I reckon in 1984 a group of British and Irish musicians put out a song that told us all to 'Feed The World'. And then a year later a group of American musicians put out a song that said 'We Are The World'.
Youtube link to the comedy clip.

The joke I'm on about starts just before five minutes.

@Disco,

that could possibly be the greatest joke I've ever heard. Thank you...

I hate the Mexican stereotypes.
My dad tells me that they're all dirty and gross. That they're all killers and drunks.

= u=; yet a lot of my best friends are Mexican.

With The Current 02-22-2011 10:36 AM

My dad is totally the typical mexican..he is in fact racist of anyone who isn't mexican..

Panda 02-22-2011 11:59 AM

All my friends are mexican..99% anyway. XD

I love mexican and other Latino/Hispanic.


I don't get a long with the Asian people. A lot of them stare at me when they see me and it is so creepy and a lot of them look so mysterious and cruel. None of them really want to make friends with me, probably jealous of my beauty. XD

Feythfull 02-22-2011 12:31 PM

yes I think they are jealous of you

Panda 02-22-2011 12:38 PM

Mexican are so loving and nice. One thing I notice from them is that they are slow on stuff. Like I would tell them some useful stuff or answer their question and they will be what happening? and it can get annoying. Wha? Say it again. They keep asking the same question too, sometime.

Feythfull 02-22-2011 12:41 PM

i don't think it's possible for everyone of a sertain nationality to be the same. I don't know if I have ever met a person from mexico but I have met a person from Columbia he is very nice but shy

Panda 02-22-2011 12:54 PM

Not everyone, most. I have a lot of friends and most of them are the same. They also forget stuff, probably because they have it so easy here in the states unlike people who through a lot of struggles in life and you have to be smart and fast. When I mean struggles, when you come from a super poor country and have to do a lot of stuff to survive.

Feythfull 02-22-2011 01:06 PM

i forget alot and I am not from mexico T_T my memory just stinks

Nanka 02-27-2011 02:21 AM

I don't know anything about Cambodians... I also don't even know where Cambodia is on the map. I know it is in Asia... somewhere buried deep in there with all the other Asian countries. So sad. :c

Panda 02-28-2011 11:53 AM

We are way at the bottom. XD The BLack Asian.

Yuki 02-28-2011 06:56 PM

I also have to admit I've never heard anyone talk about Cambodian stereotypes. I don't think we have many people from there here anyway. Most people here are obviously Swedish, Finish or from some middle east country.

Unicorn 02-28-2011 07:31 PM

You type like an Asian.
;c

Blaine 02-28-2011 08:32 PM

AH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I get asked aloooot based on stereotype.
Hey, Ya'll, I'm from Tennessee~
This is what I hear, all the time:
-You're from Tennessee? Oh look you have shoes on!
-If I came to you..think you could get me some moonshine?
-Oh! You're from Tennessee! Wait..you're not really overweight..are you sure?
-Aaah, Tennessee, you must love all that country music. And Hannah Montana! You all listen to here alot, huh?
-Tennessee? Do you guy have plumbing? Electricity?
-Hey,do you marry your cousins..?
- If I ran over a racoon...would you cook it up and eat it?

AT LEAST ONCE IN MY LIFE, I've heard one of these.
I like what urban dictionary had to say. xD
"1: The food is called grits, notice the s, the food is not a grit, it is called grits
2: If you see girls saying "like" every other word, it is prefectly normal
3: If you are over age 10, female, and you like Hannah Montana/ Miley Cyrus stay away from Tennessee
4: Y'all is in the dictionary, get over it
5: 3/4 of the female population in Tennessee is "girly-girl"
so if you came to Tennessee to meet a "tomboy", good luck with that
6: Weather is unpredictable. It snows in April and is over 105 degrees F in October
7: In martial arts, there is almost no karate schools or other martial arts except for Tae kwon Do, you will find about 50 of those
8: There is a McDonalds in almost every town yet barely anybody is overweight
9: "I don't give a crap is just another way of saying, "I didn't much sleep last night"
10: Lastly, if you think you can just move here and be country then you obviously don't know a thing "

AHHAA.
ALSO, something I do fall to stereotype in is the way I eat a roll. Stick a hole in it, fill it with butter, close it then eat. xD
