Stereotypes
You know you are Cambodian when you... 1. Own or know someone that work at a donut shop. 2. You hate donut and sometime you can't stand looking at it. 3. You are the black of the asians. 4. Ghetto, Violent, and Loud. 5. Love to talk shit about your own family, friends, and everything and you are really good at it. 6. You always ask and talk about someone weight when they visit you or when you visit them. 7. You own pile of DVD in your living room and they are about to collapse on you. You really love Karaoke! 8. Plan a b-day party for your kids just so you can invite your friends to your house and get crazy and get drunk. 9. You eat rice with anything you see. 10. You have tons of aunts and uncles. 11. You have relatives in California. 12. When your parents lecture you about anything for hours, but its seems like days. When you get good grades your parents don't give you anything but saying "good" 13. Your parents would tell you that you are lucky because you are not in cambodia because they walked from here to there. 14. No matter if you are khmer...peeps still think you are chinese. 15. Every khmer friend you have...you at least call one of them your cousin because you known them for along time. besides peeps say you guys look like brothers and sisters. 16. Your have pictures of your past and present everywhere. 17. You're darker than all your other Asian friends. 18. You kick it with black people and other people think you're black too. 19. You hate it when people think Cambodians are the dirtiest Asians. 20.You are tired of Cambodian stereotypes, so you say that you are"Kampuchean" instead 21. You have been mistaken for being Laos. 22. You want other Asians to stop meddling in your country. There are actually more...this are only some I can come up with. Just something to entertain you guys, nothing special. Feel free to talk about any kind of stereotype in this thread. |
I have never heard a single Cambodian stereotype before.
I didn't even know they had them. Kind of remarkable. Especially since I'm pretty sure I've met a few Cambodians. I don't know for certain, though; I don't really ask people where they're from very often. Also, some of these are pretty universal traits. Except for the apparent hatred of doughnuts, which I can't quite wrap my head around. |
Canadian stereotypes
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ktal/cloud.png Hello everyone! As alot of you may know already pinkies from canada. And growing up talking with a different aray of people I have come across alot of stereotypes about canadains...the funniest one I think is this guy asked me if we all lived in igloos... I just want to know what kind of stereotypes have you heard of or think about when canada is the subject. Also if you have never seen or herd of this check this song out "Oh canada" By classified. Also this one "proud to be canadian" by the arrogant worms And just a little humar because pinkies a good sport. How did canada get its name? By drawing letters from a hat! C..eh..n..eh..d..eh lol! http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ktal/cloud.png |
I heard some stereotypes...like.. canadians always end phrases with 'eh' or they all have once lived in farms. And that there's no chance for them to get a tan.
No worries, I don't easily believe in stereotypes. I actually love canadians. <3 |
Most of what I've learned about Canada actually came from the Kathy Reichs murder novels about Temperance Brennan. I haven't heard many stereotypes... mostly because I think I live too far south for most of the Mason Dixon Line to get much more than strange info about the Yankees. *grins* Personally, I don't know how they don't eat black-eyed peas. Apparently it's cattle food.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ktal/cloud.png lol thats funny! Alot of people do talk and say eh at the end of each sentance but not all. Also we get tans its just in some places its hard because of our short summers... Shin: lol well it is mainly used for feed I think but last time I checked I knew some people that ate it http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ktal/cloud.png |
*looks at Pink strangely* You're Yankees that speak French and English and live further north than the Yanks do.
I forget where you put your pin on the map, but have you been to Montreal? That's where Tempe Brennan works in the novels. |
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ktal/cloud.png Nope not yet but thats where im headen this summer lol And thank you but we are not yanks. We have one of the best education systems and speak proper english...well most of us lol. Not to mention health care lol yay for that And what do you mean by putting the pin on the map? Care to explaine please? http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ktal/cloud.png |
That's pretty cool.
*grins* I know that. I was just funning you a bit. I know about the health and education systems, too. I wish we had that here in America, but unfortunately a lot of stuff has to change in order for it to be implemented and there's too much division and issues in Congress to have that sort of thing passed through any time soon. On another note... Seeing the Canadian and Cambodian stereotype threads makes me want to make my own Texan stereotype thread. XD |
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ktal/cloud.png I know lol just making points thats all Yes but they can pass a bill ligalizing medical weed in calaforna...dont you think health care should be first? And if its Obama's goal why is he not working towards it? Makes you think eh... http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ktal/cloud.png |
*snorts* Yeah. He's working towards it. However, Congress is so frackin' divided that there'll be no progress anytime soon. Granted, maybe Gabrielle Giffords being shot might help push things in a better direction. But then again, what kind of shit price is that to pay? It's not fair to her, her husband, or her family.
I have noticed, though, that Obama has grayed so much since taking office. He looks so different, and it's only been a little over two years. |
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ktal/cloud.png Well just hink about how much responsibility he has...running a whole country...like damn. If you did not get some grey hairs from that your not human lol. And your right...it was a shame that she got shot along with others. But it might just be the push america needs to go through with some things... http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ktal/cloud.png |
Why she got shot anyway? D: |
Texan Stereotypes
Yes, I am copying the idea of other threads, but... *shrugs* What Texan stereotypes have you come across? For that matter, what Redneck stereotypes have you heard? Some kinda go hand-in-hand. *grins*
Here's what Mr. Foxworthy says about Texas: Quote:
Tell me some more that you've heard! |
I feel sorry for him. Granted, he chose the position, but he has the weight of the entire nation on his shoulders. It's a good thing Michelle is there to help keep him steady. But the memory of those that died during Tuscon and the others that were injured should help Obama push the nation in the direction it needs to go.
Side note: I did just post a Texan Stereotype thread. XD |
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ktal/cloud.png Logan: Hey! =huggles= And I dont know...I just saw on the news that she was shot...her and like 5 others... Shen: Isent that the truth but only time will tell I suppose Neat! http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ktal/cloud.png |
This crazy guy just walked up, asked about the Congresswoman, and was sent to the back of the line. Next thing everyone knew was that there were shots being fired, people were injured and/or dying/dead. It was chaos. I don't remember all the details, but Giffords is making excellent progress in her recovery since she woke up and now she's here in Houston at the TIRR institute to continue the recovery. Considering it's been less than a month she got shot, it's actually kinda incredible.
|
Hope that dumbass get death penalty for that. D:< |
He's insane, Logan. You look at a picture of him and he looks freakin' nuts. He'll probably be put on death row, but at the same time, I can't be 100% sure. It's a high profile case and just about everyone heard about it, so finding people that are impartial will be very difficult.
It's sad, but it's true. At least Gifford's husband has no ill feelings towards the man's parents. Apparently the shooter's father had a round with him before the shooter went to the Safeway and shot it up. He chased him to bring him back to their house, but the guy got away. |
Geez. What make him to shoot at innocent people? D: |
The only ones I know and common is saying 'eh' at the end of each quote/sentence.
Canadians have an obsession over pancakes and their mayple syrup. and my fav is when South Park portrayed Canadians as the people that have block figures the beady little eyes and the flapping heads. |
@Logan: I have no clue. They talked about it, but he was just one of those freak mutant people in the head.
|
Uhm...everybody is a cowboy, texans only eat steak (no other meat) or uhm...everyone knows how to yodel. XD
|
Back to the Canada business... The stereotypes I've always heard was that Canadians say "eh" a lot, love maple syrup, and are either really nice or pretend to be really nice as a way of mocking Americans.
My brother and I use to joke about "Canadians from Canadia", but I had to let the joke drop because I want to visit Canada same day and I'd hate to look like a stupid American if I slipped up. Also, have any of you guys listened to the song "Canada, Please?". |
I adore Canada Please, esp. when it's set to Hetalia art.
Shen's thread "Dreaming of the Future" was just above this one, and my eye mixed it up to read "Canadians of the Future." lulz. |
O_O I didn't know Canadians could travel through time!!!!
Next step... Space Canadians.... (???) |
Yes, Space Canadians! Their ship is a giant hockey puck that makes an "ehhhhh" sound when it flies quickly, and slows down with an "ooot oot oot" sound.
lol, reminds me of Mel Brooks' Space Jews from History of the World Part 1, riding in a giant Star of David. |
I would laugh my effing ass off if I looked up to the sky and saw a giant hockey puck going "Eeeeeeeeh" as it flew by. Best alien invasion. Ever.
That movie is hilarious, I wonder why there weren't any more parts. Or maybe there are and I'm just mistaken. >_> |

Don't I wish I was rich enough to eat steak every day! But no, many times I wind up eating either chicken or fish or even just vegetables. Catfish, however, is a very popular fish here. Yodel? I can definitely tell you you're in the wrong neck of the woods if you're talking about yodeling. It'd be more likely that everyone said 'Howdy'. I know most everyone says y'all. Too convenient of a contraction to pass up. |
I'm not a steak person, if I eat steak everyday, I'd get sick XP
|
Yeah. Me, too, Echo. But it'd be nice to be rich enough to be able to eat steak every day.
|
Oh stereotypes! These can actually be very funny, especially as most people know that they're meant as a joke.
Scottish Stereotypes~ -Every single Scottish person is an alcoholic. -Every Scottish person has a pet haggis. -All Scottish people have ginger hair. -A Scottish person would rather kill you than buy you a drink. -Scottish people wear tartan twenty four seven. -Bagpipes are the only instrument that you are allowed to play in Scotland. -Every Scottish person with glasses is a reject sibling of The Proclaimers. -Summer is a Scottish person's favourite day of the year. -Everyone in Scotland is a direct descendent of William Wallace. -If a Scottish person sees someone who isn't Scottish in the street, they will kill them with their bare hands. -Scottish people don't tip after going to a restaurant. -Scotland only has a population of seven hundred. -If a Scottish person dares go out in the sun, they will receive third degree burns. Now, I could go on for ages and list a lot more. But, that would prove I have no life. xD |
Wait, why would Scottish people have a pet food? D:
|
Some people are oblivious as to what a haggis is, so there's a sort of running joke around Scotland that a haggis is in fact an animal that lives in the Scottish hills.

I have a David Tennant life size(ish) cutout in my room and once when my mom came in to ask me what I wanted for dinner, she started talking to the cut out about haggis.
I can't let her in my room for more than 30 seconds any more, because at some point she'll tell me David Cutout Tennant has some form of an opinion. |
I knew someone who thought Canadians don't curse, so when I cursed in front of her one day she was completely amazed. Then she started to ask me if our curse words are the same. [facepalm] And apparently, being Native American automatically makes me very nice? I was in a Ventrilo mic chat with some old WoW guildies a long time ago, and the topic was brought up. They kept saying how every Native person they know seems to be really nice. |

cos they're so nice! |

Heehee, that actually made me giggle! x] |

One more! The first one: link dawww! |
