    Mexicans are lazy
    All latinos are the same
    Black people are ignorant
    Black people stay on welfare for their whole lives
    All Arabian/Middle Eastern People are terrorist
    All gay guys are promiscuous and have AIDS/HIV
    Jews are cheap and only care about money
    Oh, yeah That latinos have a bunch of kids and all live in one house.(People ask me this all the time)

    I could go on, but it's making me angry just to think of them.

    So many to choose from! In the current climate of the US, I'd have to say the most dangerous stereotype is that "all Muslims are terrorists". And it is SO unfair.

    All of them because to stereotype is one of the dumbest things one can do. I personally always base my opinion of someone on the individual themselves, not an entire group of people, that way it's a lot more accurate.

    I've been verbally abused because of my asian and height factors.
    I hate the stereotype that says that Asian women make good sexual object, because of their size. That's NOT they way to view a human being!
    I keep being laughed at because they say that asian men are small, in more more than one way, which isn't true. Every man is different!
    I was always picked last during the selection of teams, because I was only 5'6" and for that people related height with strength. The bigger you are, the stronger you are. The shorter you are, the weaker you are. Nevermind the fact that I benched 220lb at 16 years of age and ran the mile in 5 minutes flat!
    I wish people would keep an open mind on issues. Stereotypes lay down a foundation of predestined characteristics of a person or group. I ask that when you have children, you teach them to see through the ignorance and push through the barriers that have been set.

    All nationalities stereotypes annoy the f out of me- beautiful, amazing, fascinating etc.. people come from every creed, country, sex, class or what ever and unfortunately, so do shitty people..
    That women are bad drivers- please... most women really shouldn't drive, but men cause most accidents..
    That some people tell me that because I am good looking I should have an easy and successful life.. I should have lots of money and lots of sex and that I just complicate my own life- they may be right. But what am I to do, when I believe this is all too shallow for me to deal with?

    That Blacks are ignorant. That really irritates me to high h***. That Mexicans are worthless- they work their a**es off to support their household and even through all of that, they find time to have some beer and party a little. That White people are power-driven - there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with wanting everything out of life that it has to offer. That Bush is the worst president ever- do your history project on past presidents and maybe you'll understand where I'm coming from. That anyone wearing a turban or hijab on their head is a terrorist or suicide bomber. That Americans are fat and lazy. The list goes on, but this is just part of the reason that this nation is so divided. I'm so glad that atleast ONE person looks beyond all of the stereotypical b.s.- that'd be me :)

    That Christians will shove their beliefs down one's throat, or that a religious person is a "blind follower" that "needs someone to think for them" "believe anything anyone tells them" or that they are irrational or illogical. As if they never THOUGHT about their faith. Stupid offensive stereotypes that I hear these ALL the time on AB and somehow they never get flagged as offensive. Such a double standard...

    The one that bugs me most often is the 'dumb blonde' stereotype. I'm not blond, and I'm not dumb, but I don't think it is funny at all.
    After that, I think I agree with Anon that the image of teenagers as worthless, brainless, and untrustworthy is a really bad stereotype. That one actually makes me mad, because if you insist on treating people, esp. young people, like that, then a lot of them will start to try to live up to that image from spite.
    Some stereotypes can be funny, but mostly, none of them really are. They are often quite cruel.

    Living in Australia, I get this alot, and it's worse than any American stereotype I've come across.

    All aboriginal people are criminals, they can't hold on to jobs, they 'are genetically comfortable' with alcohol because they don't have the 'lineage' for it (bullshit), that they all smell and should live in the bush, that they are unable to take care of themselves, and that it's their fault that they live in third-world conditions. It's disgusting how ignorant people can be - they see racism against Australian aboriginals as justified.

    All stereotypes are ridiculous, but a personal one that I deal with all the time is that cheerleaders are dumb and that cheerleading does not actually require any skill. I am certainly not dumb nor am I ditzy. I may have blonde hair, but that does not make me an idiot or a slut. I plan to attend university so that i can receive my masters of business administration. Ugh! Stereotypes are for immature people who are not satisfied with themselves.

    If you have lived here for so long, you would think that your knowledge of the English language and everything else your generations have worked for, for such a long time could get you a better job then non English speakers unless you are incompetant.

    Also that Latin's are on Welfare taking others money, if you were smart you would know that to be on welfare you need to have a residence card which means you have a legal right to be here...
