Really, I'm trying not to laugh -- but at least I'm laughing with you, I hope.

Maybe I'm not up on my stereotypes but more than half of these I can't place with a certain race.

I also had a hard time thinking up one of my own.

Oh well.

That's because, as Dr. Phil suggested, lots of what has been mentioned here aren't really racial stereotypes.

I like this trajectory better than the alternative. But that's just me. The pointy shoes thing cracked me up. What race wears only pointy shoes? :thinking: Witches...elves...and apparently Puerto Ricans. lol.

-That I KNOW how to dance. That is false lol I've cheered for 12 years and danced for 1 the only dancing I know how to do is dancing that has already been choreographed for me.
-That I must love Ramen Noodles, Kool-Aid and corn bead
-My hair is long so it must be fake
-That I only have an interest in politics because of President Obama (false, I've been following politics since I was in the 6th grade).

Probably. Or in the head of whoever I asked me about fish. I was at pet store buying something for my mom's new kitten. But then other honkeys confirmed it.

I'm laughing at "honkeys" being underlined by spellcheck.

I'm allergic to fish as well.

I hate the stereotype that I always have to agree with smart people when threads take a turn for the stupid.

There are two rules for making the plural of words
that end in ‘- y’.

1. If the word ends with a vowel before the ‘- y’,
you add an ‘- s’ to make the plural.

For example:

day = days (vowel ‘a’ before ‘y’)

There are 5 vowels in the alphabet: a, e, i, o, u
There are 21 consonants: b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z


2. If a word ends with a consonant before the ‘- y’,
the ‘y’ changes to ‘ie’ before adding an ‘s’ to make the plural.

For example:

penny = pennies (consonant ‘n’ before ‘y’)

Moral of story: HONKY = HONKIES

Now this thread is educational.

I thought about this today..

Anyone ever heard the stereotype that black people can't swim? ("because" there were piranhas in the waters around Africa, which is also why we didn't flee from slavery. hm.)

Anyway.. since, according to some of my friends, that's a stereotype, well.. I sure fit it. I swim as well as a the Titanic.

[christiangirl]

^^^Yeah, I've heard that. Everyone in my family can swim, so we don't count I guess.


Okay, now I'm stereotyping, but I just know I'm right. My friend just called and said that the news just reported people selling MJ commemorative t-shirts outside the UCLA hospital. Something down in my SOUL tells me they're black. We are stereotyped as late for everything, can't turn in things on time, but whenever there's ANY sort of event (good or bad), t-shirts get printed up at the speed of light. The man ain't been dead but HOW MANY HOURS and you're already making $20 a pop? If it turns out they aren't black, I'll eat my words, but I can just FEEL it.

[BabyPiNK_FL]

Black people and their t-shirts. If I ever die and someone puts my picture on a t-shirt, I will "haunt they asses"!

So I'm working at the mall at a jewelry kiosk. This man is gonna walk up with a shirt on that says "Free My Nigga Johnny"! I'm thinking to myself HELL NO! I hope he stays in jail for whatever it is he did! You should go too for that damn t-shirt!
