I'm a young black kid in London. Automatically you might be thought as a boy who would be starting conflict all the time and cause chaos and havoc everywhere you go. I might do it on this Forum...But i don't do it Offline.
Personally i would say that I'm quite the opposite, of the stereotype of young black males in Britain. But there is some truth to it at times; I've seen many of my friends fall under peer pressure and submit to being bad students. Many of my friends have potential and are relevantly articulate in some ways. For example rapping doesn't have to have rude or degrading lyrics in it. When ever i want to write lyrics I try to make it meaningful, and try to make it have more advanced grammar; also make it appeal to other groups of people in society.
EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.

I don't understand stereotypes. I think they are dumb. I hate it when people judge others because of what they wear or their skin color. Yesterday I got called a devil worshipper, probably because of what I was wearing. I had on a black strappy skirt, my Yuna boots, a black tank top and my jinglies (armwarmers that jingle cus they have metal rings on them). I wear a lot of black, but I usually don't wear ALL black so I looked pretty goth yesterday.
And today at lunch, I was sitting with this guy who started making racist comments. It wasn't the first time either. We heard someone sneezing in the lunch line and as a joke, I said, "Gross, is someone sneezing all over the food?" and I forgot what was said after that but after he saw who was sneezing he said, "Well she's black, what do you expect?" I thought that was very ignorant and disrespectful.
I just don't get stereotypes.
I can be the sarcastic, realistic clever girl, the crazy one, the artistic one, the nerdy one, the one who is half Italian, or that British girl. It all depends on who I'm with.
Dunno what I'm like on here. Cookie giver outer?

Heck yes I reinforce my stereotype. I'm proud of my geekhood (since that's the stereotype I am!) I mean come on. I wear a Firefox shirt, collect Pokemon cards, have a Periodic Table of Elements in my wallet, refuse to ever leave the house unless I absolutely have to and I exclusively run Linux on my many computers.
I am the geek stereotype.
I guess I portray kinda...emo/skater/punk stereotype.
And I know I see them, and sometimes make fun of them, but I just can't think of any at the moment.
Now if you'll excuse me, there is a hole in my igloo that needs tending, and my pet polar bear is hungry, so i'm gonna go feed him some cod, eh? < /canadian>
Just remember.
Labels are things you put on jars, NOT on people.
I try not to stereotype or discriminate. In school I'm categorized as one of the weird kids.
Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.
You're from New Zealand too? Cool!
Where abouts? I'm in Wellington.

Damn right, it's better than yours!
I could Heal you, but I have to charge.
Friendly as in...bisexual? Oh god no, that was bad of me. x.x
I obviously stereotype, I mean, mostly everyone does at one point or another. I like stereotypes if they're used for humor purposes, just as long as we know that it doesn't apply to the whole group.
Hmm..I can't say that a particular stereotype is latched onto me. I dress kind of classy which wouldn't really make people point and call me nerdy. Although I'm very nerdy, probably the nerdiest person I know. Well...not quite.
