I also have the misfortune of looking 10 years younger than I am. (Yeah yeah, I'll enjoy it when I'm 60. But right now, I'm getting mistaken for a 6th grader and I don't enjoy that). When I was 14, I took my nephew to Sam Goody's in the mall to look at CDs while my sister was in another store and I got soooooo many dirty looks and heard mutterings about "babies having babies."  I WAS 14!!!! They couldn't even mistake him for my baby brother or something??

Actually, I get this a lot and it is true, but my cursive is proper because of my mother not the nuns.
This isn't racial its more my state and what school I go to: I must be a vegan who only eats organic, makes my own clothing/soap, am a member of PETA (and some other environmental or animal rights group), is tree hugger and smokes weed regularly. Only thing close to the truth is being a tree hugger, but that is a little extreme for me.
Because I go to church I must be an evangelist who will shove my beliefs down your throat and teach my children to not have a brain. (Try again)

I was in NoColorderFolkFor100MilesInEveryDirection, Missouri this weekend, so I was sure to defeat every stereotype anyone could try to form. I smiled at everyone, waved, said hi, dressed decently, didn't talk about anything bad in public, and wished everyone a good day when I left somewhere.. all in proper English.
I lived!

I don't drink malt liquor (actually I don't drink at all)
I don't wear straight bill baseball caps (can't stand those things)
I don't wear Timberland boots with the "brand new" tag still on the side
I don't wear my pants sagging
I like all kinds of music not just rap (jazz flavors especially)
I do like chicken and watermelon, but who doesn't?

OMG that happened to me at Sam's when I was 15. I had my baby cousin with me at Sam's Club, and this old man kept staring at me. When my mom came back to our table with food, the man goes up to my mom and says "isn't it a joy to be a grandmother?" and then gives me a funny look. I didn't get it at first but a little later I was I was 15...and probably didn't look a day over 11, and he automatically thought I was the mother?

^^^Girl, the things we go through watching other people's kids! Now, when I actually have some of my own, I bet people will think they are my siblings or cousins.

Ugh, EVERYONE pulls that one on me! "When you get older, you'll be happy!" Okay but now I'm a 20-something that looks like she's in middle school! When I started college, it was funny. However, when I say "I just graduated" to a stranger and they ask "From where? Middle school? High school?" it pisses me off! But I don't believe in make-up just yet so there's no way of "making myself look older". I just have to constantly act like an adult and hope that people get the picture.
BACK ON TOPIC... One day, my friends son was quizzing me as part of a Healthy Living Unit he is working on at school. He asked me "If you wanted a snack, would you grab a piece of watermelon or a bag of chips?" I answered "bag of chips" and his mother chimes in "DON'T LIE! YOU KNOW BLACK PEOPLE LOVE WATERMELON!" I guess she's getting her kids started early with stereotyping (he's only 7)

Maybe people just thought I was white trash....which would not be hard to think of in the town I live in! I cannot tell you how many times I have been out with a younger kid, cousin, babysitting, whatever, and I got some comment about "my kid". The comments started when I was around 13!

My first year going home from college, I was using my school ID through the airport (you could do that back then) and I got detained--he thought I was too young to be in college so my ID must be fake.

LOL I forgot about those. It seems like "Rotts" are out and Pits are the "in" dog. I didn't know breeds could go out of style.

I've actually gotten that kind of attitude on GC.

When I was a senior in college, I was continually asked, "what year are you in?" to which I responded, "Senior." Then, invariably, came, "Oh, where are you going to college?" Granted, I was younger than your average graduate, but it drove me crazy anyhow.
But yes, you do appreciate it as you get older. I've been carded three times in the last two years, and I am very, very grateful! Last week, I went to my ob-gyn, and the receptionist was shocked at my age. Look at it as good genes - my mother didn't age a bit until my daddy died.
Another somewhat racial stereotype is having red hair. I am lucky, but rubbing my hair is not going to help you! I don't have a bad temper, but if accused of it too much, I could be tempted to make an exception. Just because my eyes are hazel, not blue, does NOT mean I bleach my hair!
I could go on forever about redheaded rumors, but you all get the idea.

That is so sad. I remember someone insisting Britney Spears had blue eyes just b/c her hair was blonde.
Hair and eyes are NOT connected.
