Do we all reinforce some stereotypes?!
For me as an asian guy, I know that I dress well and I did got my hair highlighted! So, some people would assume that I'm a homosexual! Some people called me white-wash even though I still have an asian accent so it does suck to be a first-generation american!
I am guilty of this, yes.
I am white male, therefore I am better qualified and more awesome than any other person on the planet.
Bunny, I like your confidence, lol!
well, he IS white...so it comes with the uniform
Stereotypes exist because there is a certain amount of truth to them. The error comes when people apply stereotypes to all people of a certain group which is a silly thing to do.
Anyway, I fit into certain stereotypes, I don't fit into others. Generally, I don't really worry about it at all. I doubt anyone can really call me stereotypical of anything though.
Me, a stereotype? I've never heard such crap in my... crikey, look at the size of that croc! I reckon I better go wrestle with him then put him back in his natural habitat. Throw a shrimp on the barby for me to have when I get back.
This is a signature.
I don't think I enforce many stereotypes myself. I don't dress in a way that would easily put a label on me. If someone got to know me just a bit though, they would probably label me as a nerd unless they had similar interests themselves.
I now and then stereotype skaters and hip-hop culture myself, and I don't really care if I do :p. I also sometimes stereotype some religious groups.

everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
I saw a guy that is one quarter Jewish buy a bagle the other day.
I try not to stereotype. It's bad for the environment.
A'yo, of course I reinforce stereotypes ya' heard me! A'yo, straight up G on a real!!!
I am stereotypical of the non-emo female internet geek from Pope County, Arkansas who post on this forum demographic.
Emo glasses+emo hair+emo band shirts+checkered shoes+black and pink wrist band= Instant emo label.
Need I say more?
Canadians do say "eh?". We do eat moose. We do know everyone else in Canada. We are immune to frostbite. We are the friendliest people...ever. Forget anything else you've heard.
Stereotypes are always based on something, or they wouldn't have been thought up in the first place; so yes, I do exhibit stereotypical traits.
Sigless
I always try not to. The only time I enforce a stereotype is when it just happens to be something I like doing that fits in.
jkhkjg
I've been told I act like a 40 year old by my folks and some people I work with. Since I'm only 19 I'm going to hazzard a guess that I don't exactly fit into what one would expect the stereotype for a white british male student would be
