1. hmmmm
I have Irish blood and I am NOT pale nor do I burn in the sun nor do I have red hair and yes I know most Irish arent red heads but the sterotype is that they are red heads.

3. I am not a hot blooded, hot tempered
Edited on Tue Aug-24-04 12:15 PM by calico1
Hispanic woman. I don't stay home and have a bunch of kids (well yes to the furry kind). Also I don't speak English with an "English as a second language" Spanish accent which most Hispanics are portrayed with on TV--even characters that are supposed to be from the mainland U.S. originally. And I most definitely do not speak "Spanglish" which is anther big time misconception that Latinos are portrayed as doing. I either speak English or Spanish, not a mishmash of both. Big pet peeve of mine--but that is another thread!

22. I hear you on all of those
I still remember the Jimmy Smits character on LA Law as a milestone - a Latino male who speaks English without an accent. But I DO proudly speak Spanglish, but only with my sister; otherwise one or the other.

I'm also one of the few Latinos who doesn't like to dance.

has all of my teeth, never been romantically involved with a relative, don't like NASCAR, hate to hunt and love to watch Sunday afternoon movies on Lifetime. (as long as it's not football season-some stereotypes exist for a reason!)

17. well, to summarize my old post
I'm half Italian, yet I am not hot tempered & passionate - I'm pretty laid back & easy going. And, I don't have hair on my back.

I'm half Polish, but I'm not dumb.

I'm an accountant who is a liberal in a conservative profession and my best subjects in college were History & English.

I'm a liberal, but have never even smoked pot or taken any other drugs.

I'm a liberal, yet my hair is short, I have no piercings or tattoos and I dress fairly conservatively.

18. I'm a bloke who wears my mop longer.
So your corporate clone types assume I'm into the drug scene (folk who have substance abuse problems themselves). Though I've never even experiemented with drugs - and taken a lot of shit for sticking to my principles.

19. I'm an Italian who HATES garlic.
I also have fair skin and burn rather than tan.

I'm a woman who likes the Three Stooges and toilet humor, who isn't really into chick flicks, doesn't swoon at romantic movies, and doesn't have any interest in babies or children.

I'm a straight woman who tends to be the one in a relationship complaining about not enough sex.
