I'm a white american male and would like to know what the stereotypes are for white people. Most whites have their stereotypes of Blacks, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, etc. but, me, as a white male, would really like to know what other races see as our stereotypes . Not the way you "feel" about white people, but what you see as a "stereotype." Thanks.

These are stereotypes that I've heard (and no, I don't think they hold true):
-> Whites are money-grubbing and materialistic (will stab their own mothers in the back when it comes to capital gain)
-> All whites have racist tendencies
-> Whites are arrogant and think they're superior to other races
-> White women are stupid, helpless and shallow
-> Whites cannot dance, cook or play sports as well as other races
-> White males are the largest demographic of pedophiles, serial killers and serial rapists
-> Whites (especially males) are uptight and don't know how to have fun
-> Whites do not discipline their children - at ALL
-> Whites are unnecessary risk takers and thrill seekers (i.e. bungee jumping, skydiving, swimming with sharks, etc.)
-> Whites do not have table manners
-> White people drink milk with every meal
-> Whites treat their pets like members of the family
-> Whites think they know everything

Some that I've heard:
smell like dogs when hair is wet
can't dance
can't play sports
cowards who can't confront a situation directly and so go running to authorities or hide behind a computer screen
incest
we're all rich and happy with great credit
only care about money and our own advancement
fake
girls are $lutty
Those are the ones that I know of but I'm sure there are tons more.

I too am looking forward to seeing the answers you get for this! I live in a predominantly white country - it's only become a bit more multicultural within the last 10 years or so.
One I've been told by more than one Chinese person is that Westerners in general smell like sour milk.

Wow - this is interesting. The stereotypes I've heard or read are:
- can't jump
- no rhythm (for proof go to youtube and find the videos to learn the soulja boy crank that dance) white guys just don't look right doing it
- mammas boy
- lazy
- materialistic
- unappreciative

Why are white people so obsessed with black people? and always making funny of other races and making them feel like they don t belong. Well I think it s because white people are so ******* insecure, they can t accept that other people are better than them/ or smarter/ or more beautiful. They always make themselves out to be the best at everything, but really you white people are the most weakest race on this planet.

The big one I have heard about whites is that they are ALL racist, power hungry and manipulstive. Obviously not true, but that is what a stereotype is.
