My vital stats
age: 16
sex: Male
race: White
Stereotypes about the above the piss me off the most.
All High Schoolers think their invincible I HATE THIS. While the conduct of some of my friends is certainly a testament to the fact that most high schoolers ARE arrogant, not a damn one of my friends think themselves invincible. Hell, here's an example demonstrating this:
About 2 weeks ago, 2 of my friends got into a little car accident with some guys from a rival school. My 2 friends got out of the car, and found out that the other guys numbered 5.
My friends told us how the other guys were just pushing for a fight and weren't going to let them leave without one. Sooo....upon realizing this, my friends threw the first punch.
"Yeah we knew we couldn't win. But we weren't going to go down like bitches"
All males are homophobic I SHIT YOU NOT. I was channel surfing one day, and I ran into this show about Eminem's problems with GLAAD and the other gay right's organizations. When they went to a shot of some protestors, one of the interviewed protestors said that Eminem's music is bad because
AND I QUOTE
"It encourages males to act out their frustrations towards homosexuals"
Am I the only person here who wants to rip off someone's head when they hear this shit?
All white people are racist/sexist etc.
Last year at school, during our diversity day, we had several poets come in and read their poetry. The second poet, in her poem, quite literally said (in that damned poetic sort of way) that all men beat women
Now I got pissed at this, and sent a school wide e-mail that I was pissed and talking about this damned double standard.
One of the responses I got back from a friend was the following
"it'll be a while before white people are allowed to live down the un-reversible damage done to a handful of races and men will never quite be forgiven for the shit they have put women through."
And when did race come up in this? Oh yes that's right, she brought up MY race in a subject about sexism why exactly? I'll let you do the math.
And one year before that, we had a muslim speaker come to our african history class to talk about Islam (pre 9/11), and then when she got into subject of movies.
She said she hated "Rules of Engagement" because it had arabs in the middle east with rifles.... How is this relevant you ask?
She then went on to say how she "was surprised to see Samuel L. Jackson in that movie. He's black."
Of course the obvious implications of this are that black people can't be racist. It's probably just unnatural for blacks to be racist according to her. And of course while she doesn't mention any other races, if you read between the line's she's obviously implying that only white's can be racist.
IT PISSES ME OFF!
So then, what about the rest of you? What stereotypes piss you off?
