Stereotypes

They are constructed by people, so they do exist. IF you don't believe in any of them or believe they're all the truth, then they don't exist.

You guys actually took me serious? lol.

Good laugh to start my day, thank you!

Never tell sometimes... make your mind up!

Aha Real, why not? People say things like that on here and are dead serious all the time.

I dont know...

Considering you guys should know I think things out pretty logically and I would hope after some of you knowing me for years that Im aware of the reality of stereotypes. Maybe? lol

I would actually hope I would have gotten a "Are you being serious?" Comment before anyone assumed I was, ya know?

If someone said that IRL Im pretty certain your first reaction would be "Wait, are you serious?" before you go into why. durrr.

Guys be nice to Real... He's trying to overcome the Coaster Enthusiast stereotype that affected his teen years. [:D]

mexicans whistle, when they want something they whistle, e ..and its not like that cheery seven dwarves whistle, it seems like they've decided that the more annoying the whistle the more it makes them feel macho. and if you can get them to stop whistling they TAP, HISS OR simply CLICK(accompanied by an undecipherable hand gesture ). they are an endless source of annoying sound affects .. one of the reasons i have tried so hard to learn spanish is so that they will use their mouths for speaking ..YO ESTOY NO PERRO. USADo SU BOCA PARA HABLAMOS ME POR FAVOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, a stereotype is surely an opinion built on the observations of a minority and applying those observations to a majority. So to say all Irishmen drink Guinness for example, after observing a single pubs worth of Irish people, simply shows your sample is not broad enough. It may be a true statement for the people in that one pub, but not for all Irish people.

So what you're saying is.... You don't like Guinness?
