I recently heard that all white people French kiss their dogs.

I have no rhythm.
I love tuna salad sandwiches and Tab cola for lunch.

I was once told that I "must turn in my Black card" because I hate both fried chicken and grape soda.

Hispanic women are just naturally heavier than others.

Seems to me like I'm not as heavy as some of my non-Hispanic counterparts.

WOW. I couldn't help it, i laughed wicked hard at this one.

Well, its not so much my race, more of where I grew up. I lived in the North (rhode island), and moved to the south for college. People always call me a liberal yankee, which bugs me.

I hate grape soda (and most grape flavored things, actually), but I do like fried chicken on occasion.

I am always early for things, and I can't stand to be late. No cp time for me.

But, I can't swim, and I'm not too interested in learning how to do so.

You're still a New Englander to your bones even if you relocated and joined the GOP.

Having lived abroad for the last couple of years, I've gotten so many stereotypes from so many people.

-"You're American? You're not fat!" or "You're awfully thin for an American" which makes me laugh, as I'm a size 12, a pretty average (even big) size for an American.

- That Americans are dumb. Um...no. I'm studying at one of the top universities in your country, shouldn't that tell you something?

- I must love George Bush (I was living abroad when his image really took a dive). Definitely not. I've never been a republican, and I'm passionately anti-war.

- I hate all food that isn't deep fried and bland. What? Seriously? I'll try just about anything and I love spicy food.

- Evangelical pro-life christian (what my best friend in Scotland called "Happy Clappy Christian") . Nope, sorry, Roman Catholic.

- That we all live on the coast, or live in NYC or LA. There is a serious misunderstanding of the regions and enormity of the United States. I got "do you live in a beach house?" all the time. This is mostly because a lot of EU countries get American soap operas and bad MTV docudramas (the Hills).

- American colleges are really easy and that anyone can go to college. Now, this is partially true if you look at the difference in admission requirements and placement system in the UK...not every student can go to University and university placements are really coveted because there are far fewer universities than there are in the US. In the US, most students can go to some form of higher ed, but the variety of options/degrees/accreditation is much wider. It is pretty insulting because I worked plenty hard for my BA, thank you.

Fried Chicken, Watermelon, Purple Drank, Red-Flavored (not cherry... Red.) Kool Aid, Excellence in all sports.

I am far from excellent in any sport.

"I don't want JUICE, I want purple DRANK. You know, it has 3 ingredients: sugar, water, purple."

Another fave: this isn't my real hair. It HAS to be a weave.

False.

Hahaha I know what you mean. I can't stand when people call colors flavors! I also hat when people question my hair's authenticity, it's like "Get a life people! This is my hair."

This may be totally off base, but it kind of pissed me off the other day.

I work with a very, very attractive, well spoken, educated black man who is pretty much a confirmed bachelor. He'd probably be called "a very white black guy", but I don't roll that way.

Anyway, we're sitting at work the other day and a newer girl looks at him and says, "Hey Chris, have you ever been married?" He said, "No, but I was really close one time." Her next question---"WAS SHE WHITE?"

I could have slapped her out of the chair. Who cares if she was white and what business is it of yours?! What kind of question is that anyway? I was >< close to looking at her and saying, "So, all hispanic men marry chubby white women, right?"

Chris, being the wonderfully graceful man he is just giggled and said, "No, she was black."
