Have you ever beem stereotyped?

I'm 100% Italian and a few people said I was in the Mafia. I knew they were jokin but.. it was still kinda wierd. Just cause I was comin up with resourceful was to kill a person with a pencil or a stool or a bench. I think it came up while we were talkin about the ending of the Sapranos. Bad ending. It just... ended.

I'm stereotyped all the time. I have really long hair and a decently long beard. I wear band shirts (when not at work) so people generally think I'm an angry satanist or something. It doesn't really bother me really, I'd prefer people leave me alone.

People always stereotype me. I wear dark clothing (I hate bright colors) and they call me emo and goth, and they think I'm going to kill them. :| They make fun of me, laugh at me, and give me strange looks when I tell them I play videogames and defeated this and that game because I'm a girl. I've also been called a dirty *** in seventh grade, and from seventh grade through tenth, I've been called a nazi because I told people I'm German. :|

When I was a student in Ireland I made the mistake of my only coat being a "hoodie" so I was pretty much stereotyped as a juvenal delinquent. I was told to leave alot of places until they heard my American accent.

Also being white in asia has it's ups and downs. The up being that white skin is considered clean and desired, the down being every scam artists tried to make a buck off you.

Most Americans are over the weight they should be. I wouldn't exactly call a lot of it fat. But definitely overweight. Especially on the East coast. We have the lazy Pilgrim spirit. Out west the people have the pioneer spirit in their DNA less overweight people out that way. But yes you are right more than 50 percent of Americans are overweight.

Most statistics are innacurate. How do they define fat? What if you're 6'8 and weigh 250 lbs? Is that fat?

That is one of the most frustrating stereotypes for me actually. I happen to like music from all kinds of genres ... Electronica, 'Indie', Punk, Metal, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Folk, Soul, Funk ... But no other genre of music gets the same level of unfounded criticism and hate that hip-hop receives. Generally it is from people who don't know the first thing about music apart from what they hear on the radio and see on MTV and the only hip-hop they know is 50 cent etc. Hip-Hop happens to be full of intelligent, introspective and thoughtful artists. You just haven't taken the time to actually seek out the good stuff. Anyone who discounts an entire genre of music isn't a music fan.

I apologize for this really but I have to say it. What the HECK is the point in making a profile, then setting it to private? So you can read it yourself?

Also, no one here is important enough or special enough to have a profile worth making private. It's not like it's some special priveledge to be able to see anyone's profile here lol.

Oh to keep on topic. Here's another steriotype. All chicks in GS forums make their profiles private because they think they are mysterious and interesting enough to do so.

It's the same as making a myspace page private. The only people you want seeing your personal thoughts are close family and friends. It makes perfect sense.

It makes no sense here because this isn't like myspace. It isn't really as well known or as general. It's really a gaming forum despite the off-topic section. Family and friends wouldn't really use it.

It's done to be snobby and mysterious.

Yep, that's all true. I wish I could show this video to all of the people who criticise hip-hop music because of what they see on MTV, the radio, etc., because it's the rappers that are destroying hip-hop, and the MCs that are keeping it alive.

That might indeed be his intentions, I'm just listing a logical reason for someone to want their profile to be private.

Not exactly. It does make sense to make profiles private. There are those who will go to your profile and look through threads you posted in and report your post. There are people who actually do that. I have mine on friends only (or the last time I knew, it was) because my brother goes here and last time, he read my blog and I got mad because he doesn't leave me the hell alone or anything and he always tells my mom everything. So it does make sense to why people keep their profiles private. They also might not want people tracking them. It's not done to be snobby, but may be done to be mysterious. Think about it first before assuming it is to be "snobby".

Not really. A lot of the time people are actually surprised at stuff i come out with because i'm apparently "not the type" Even though there are no "types" since everyone is different people still feel the need to stuick people into a handful of vauge groups so they feel they know more about you than they actually do.
