Stereotypes you buck

Just got a new car, got a decent deal on a BMW so now I’m going out of my way to buck the stereotype that all beamer drivers are inconsiderate arseholes by giving way, letting people merge and actually using indicators once in a while.

Are there any stereotypes people would assume about you where the truth is a complete 180?

As an Atheist, I try to be respectful towards people whom are religious and not be a condescending prick.
Not gonna lie, I sometimes fail at that task, but I like to think those times are few and far in between.

When someone asks me to move furniture or carry heavy stuff up a flight of stairs or whatever, I invariably shrug off the ensuing grateful thanks with an amiable “hey, you know what they say about Jews: we’re big and strong and generous.”

No, literally every time.

I’m latino and like neither dancing nor spicy food.

I’m a straight white man in his fifties who’s from a rural Christian background.

According to demographics, I should be a right winger cheering at a Trump rally.

I’m black and I have no rhythm. I’m a woman and I’m not very nurturing or emotional. I’m an American and I don’t wear tennis shoes everywhere.

I’ve been a vegetarian for 20 years, mostly for ethical reasons, and I’ve never been missionary about it nor have I ever scolded anybody for eating meat. I really don’t wear my vegetarianism on a sleeve, it mostly only comes up when I’m having a meal in companion. But it’s noticeable how many people instantly get defensive or crack age-old lame vegetarian jokes when the fact comes up. I don’t know why this is, but I have my suspicions.

I’m a woman and I do not DO NOT enjoy the company of children. Anyone below 50 is a child, BTW. Also I have a terrible potty-mouth, so keep the kids away. However all this aside, my hobby is knitting. So everyone always assumes I am knitting baby clothes for my grandchildren. Hah.

“I’m just saying, you never know when someone may need a child-sized straitjacket.”

Wait. I’m a straight white man in his fifties from a rural Christian background. And I’m not a Trump right winger either. Are we starting a new stereotype?

I was pretty conservative as a young man. Fifty years later I am socially very liberal, and middle of the road financially. But I always believed in equality of opportunity regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, and so forth.

I have become much more concerned with the separation of church and state, and rabid nationalism.

I drive a Buick, a brand that is renowned for attracting older drivers. (Until very recently, the average Buick driver was in his 60’s.)

I’m 37.

I’m a Jewish guy.
I also fix my own cars and do all my own home repairs. A friend once said I was “the handiest Jewish guy he ever met.”

I also am a bodybuilder.

I’m a guy who uses a wheelchair and I’m no good at eating pussy. :smiley:

I’m a person who eats at restaurants and I don’t yell if there’s a problem with something I’ve ordered. Servers and managers are always amazed I haven’t been furious when I got a cheeseburger instead of a hamburger, or they’re out of the soft drink I ordered, etc.

It helps that in my experience, they always rush to fix the problem and are very apologetic.

Please tell me you do carpentry.

I have small hands

I love clothing, shoes, makeup, purses, and all manner of girly things. I spend a lot of time reading about fashion, I own a ton of makeup and purses and shoes. However, I am not vapid, I don’t squeal when I talk, and I’ve never been accused of being shallow. I just like pretty things.

Well jeez, the angle alone…

Despite driving a red convertible, I currently have no plans to cheat on my wife, get hair plugs, or quit my job and get the band back together.

That’s it. You’re off the list!

As for me, I hope I’m bucking the stereotype in my east Texas area of a Christian. I love horror movies, got married on a softball field, have been known to say a dirty word or four and am extremely liberal on almost every social issue, so there’s all that. If I still lived in Austin, I’m sure it wouldn’t be any big deal, but in a sea of staunch Baptists, those are quite shocking.
