Have you ever been Stereotyped?

Every day
People look at me and think I'm some violent drug crazed biker.
In reality though I do ride a motorcycle, I only smoke cannabis and am one of the most peaceful non-violent people you will meet.
Conservatives call me a liberal, liberals call me a conservative, I'm really neither.
I could go on, but you get the point.

Sal... that's part of your appeal.

Yes, I didn't like the sound of one hand typing so I stereo-typed.

WHAT connection? I could see how they might, in two or three steps figure it is POSSIBLE, but it is a STEREOTYPE! It would be like seeing an old weather worn guy and asking where the nearest cajun place is. BESIDES, it means LITTLE with the culture, at least in the US. They may have the t shirt that has the leaf structure(whatever that is called), and says weed, and STILL know nothing about it.

They made THAT little and they were so quick to judge you? Besides, when I see someone apparently making THAT much more than I do, I make it a point to slip in a question asking what THEY do, and of course tell them what I do. I don't IGNORE them.

BTW I have met PLENTY of people that looked like bums(DESCRIPTIVE PHRASE), and were rich. Most actually got the money THEMSELVES! I have ALSO met plenty of people that looked rich that were actually very poor. It is hard to judge that way. Today, there is likely not a thing you can do like that to be even 70% sure. The rich people have even been ones that did worth arbitrage(for want of another word), saved and invested, were a salesperson of an expensive or popular product, were purchasers, there was a drink manufacturer(Today one line of drinks he has is like all over the place, you probably won't find a store that doesn't have them, and his EMPLOYEES say he looks like a bum!), there was even a person managing shipments, and another that consults on transdermal technologies.

As for ME? I generally dress in dockers, short sleeve shirts, no tie, no suit, and dress shoes as plain as I can find. I may not be what I consider rich, but i'm not poor either. I guess I make a lot more than those guys that belittled you.

Heck, does THIS guy look like he is rich? http://www.microsoft.com/global/en-u...ates_print.jpg SURE he's got a nice haircut, and glasses, and a nice sweater, but I mean REALLY. I have seen MANY dressed that way that where not. HEY, THIS guy doesn't even look happy: http://www.biography.com/imported/im...0729-1-402.jpg He looks like some grumpy old farmer! He DOES like in oklahoma, and his son IS a farmer! OK, THOSE were easy! What about THIS guy? https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...cVs8BYy5CxH4FW One of the companies he cofounded is worth 4 billion USD.

I went to a school with a LOT of foreigners. I forget if it was armenians, iranians, or both were people that people said had sex with sheep. For the record, the religion, and I believe the culture, of BOTH even forbid it. Most armenians were christian, and the iranians were generally jewish.

Steve

I know exactly what you mean.

I have sex with a goat one time!...and now I'm stuck with the label "Sheep seducer" for the rest of my life. It's an unfair stereotype based on one...one instance. And it was a goat, not a sheep. Jeesh!

I've been a Baaaaaaahhd (get it? Sheep..Baaaah) boy.



This post was a joke. No sheep were seduced in the making of this post. I hereby state that sleeping with sheep is wrong. Any color or gender of sheep.
All sheep should be loved equally...but no sex! I mean it.

Daaaaadi. :rolleyes:

Well, the white guy says "You wouldn't happen to know who's bike this is?" How is that VERY different?

I don't see the black guy acting much different. I see the people walking by acting a lot different and it's just because he is black, just like they actually help the pretty woman actually steal the bike because she is a pretty woman.

Butt, Butt, Butt, whatever do you mean?
