Answer 1

I'm lazy, so I couldn't read all of these.

Answer 2

Gypsy stereotypes. Please notice that many of these stereotypes contradict each other. We all: 1) steal and are con artists 2) are dirty 3) live in horse-drawn wagons in caravans 4) curse everyone and a GYPSY curse always works 5) steal babies to put in our stew-pots or sell to carnivals 6) are all inbred 7) read the Tarot, read palms, tell fortunes, etc. 8) play the violin and/or tamborine 9) are all happy-go-lucky hippies 10) live on the dole and are too lazy to work 11) do not even exist 12) look alike 13) dress in flashy, trashy "Gypsylike" clothes... I am certain you have seen the like. 14) are all psychic. 15) live in trashy mobile homes or the like. I am certain I am missing some. The truth: Some Rromani still live a semi nomadic lifestyle, most do not. The nomadic lifestyle is very traditional and is not followed much anymore. We live wherever and however we wish. I live in a nice home from the 1870's, for example. Some prefer to dress more traditionally and, no, traditional dress is NOT what most people associate with "Gypsy" but it would be considered exotic. Most of us dress like everyone else. Some Rromani read the Tarot, tell fortunes, or whatnot. Most do not. Gadje (non-Rromani) read Tarot and whatnot as well. Unfortunately, many of the Gadje say they are "Gypsy" to ride on the Gypsy reputation. You cannot just up and decide one day that "I'm a free spirit, now I am a Gypsy". Wrong. It is genetic. If you are not born a Rromani (or any of the other ethnicities under the umbrella term "Gypsy") you are not going to be one. The biggie: Gypsies are all theives and con artists. Wrong. There is no higher instance of our theivery than Gadje theivery. If all of the crime attributed to us was actually PERPETRATED by us it would outnumber the actual adult and teenage Rromani population! There is much higher Rromani theivery in some European nations where Rromani are DENIED education and jobs. In America it is completely false. Toss those stereotypes in the trash where they belong. For that matter, take ALL stereotypes about ALL races, ethnicities, and peoples, and toss ALL of them in the trash... where they belong. ALL races, ethnicities, and people have them. Discard all of that tripe and LEARN about the culture and/or people.

Answer 3

It's all rubbish. Examples:

Blondes are dumb, sexy and gullible
Professors love argyle socks and are nerdy
Native American Indians are all in touch with nature
People who like computers don't have a life
Religious and Spiritual people are judgemental
French people are rude
Indians are all traditional and family-oriented
Japanese people all love Hello Kitty and anime
Women aren't good with mechanics
Men are bad at cooking and cleaning
Redheads are fiery and get angry easily
Lawyers are money-hungry and greedy
Americans all adore British accents
Comic book readers are immature and childish
All scientists are secretly evil geniuses
All night owls are social misfits
All artists hate other artists
All goths are moody and depressed
All perky people are shallow and stupid
All Germans love beer and sausage
All geeks love RPGs
All RPGers are lame
All generalisations are false (?)

Source(s):
Keep in mind, all of this is nonsense.

Answer 4

Man, some of these are really insulting. That's why I hate sterotypes. Just to prove these are stupid I'll describe my group of friends. One is a complete prep who loves Disney, the other is a cheerleader, one is an athlete, one is a little bigger than average but super tall, and me, the artist. Not to mention all of them are polish (and don't wear socks w/sandals) and I am puerto rican and irish (I don't drink and I am definently not conceited). I mean some of these sterotypes don't make any sense, that's why it's so stupid.

Answer 5

where did you get the time to type all of that? seriously, alot of the statements listed above, people automatically assume of that particular individual, which is sad in our day and age. This is 2007, why do we as people make accusations that at most times may not be true? We live in a terrible world.

Answer 6

I'm WHITE TRASH, so I must be a Klansman.

I'm a GUN OWNER, so I kill first and ask questions later, (if I bother.)

I'm QUIET, so I am a psychopath.

I DON'T DRINK alcohol, so I must be a goody two-shoes.

I am a MISSISSIPPIAN, so obviously I'm a bigot.

I WALK SLOW, so I must be a cripple.

I WEAR GLASSES, so I must be intelligent or a nerd.

I THINK therefore I am. ; )

And the list goes on and on.

Answer 7

Well, personally I don't mind that fourth-one-from-the-top, but otherwise I would say they're all pretty ignorant. I'm a little confused though, what are you hoping to accomplish by soliciting peoples' responses to these stereo-types? You're undoubtedly going to expose some bigots, but beyond that I really don't expect you to find too many people who agree with these stereo-types (except as a joke, like mine; I know all Asian people aren't smart (I'm exhibit A in proving that stereo-type wrong!!).

Answer 8

OMG did you create that list or download it? Wow!!!
Unfortunatley so many of those are what people preconceive others to be. Sad but true, totally shallow people base their entire opinion on these groups based on these notions.

Answer 9

I did'nt read them all because I got bored, but I see what you mean! I hate stereotypes too!

Answer 10

oh i've seen those on myspace. they're just stereotypes though u shouldn't think of them.

Answer 11

Those who give into stereotypes make fools of themselves.
