    A stereotype that bothers me is the idea that people from certain backgrounds are less intelligent or capable. It ignores the potential and hard work many individuals show, regardless of their circumstances.

    Blacks, at least used to, have this stereo type that they carry around with them on their shoulder blasting loud music. They’re called boom boxes, and I hate how many batteries they take.

    As someone who has a severe stutter; the stereotype that people who stutter are stupid. I have a IQ of 147. You would NOT BELIEVE the amount of people including family, that said I was stupid and couldn’t do anything for myself because I can’t say what I want. This stereotype is so bad, that I was in “special” Ed because of it. I also would have to go to the principals almost everyday because my first grade teacher HATED my stutter and LITERALLY THOUGHT I was faking it. (EVEN THE PRINCIPAL THOUGHT I WAS FAKING.) She would get so mad at me, that one time she physically grabbed me out of my chair by my arms and shirt and dragged me on the floor to the “special” needs class because they had sister doors at the time. I WAS THE QUIETEST MOST WELL BEHAVED KID IN HER CLASS, and she fucking did that because she didn’t like my stutter. Granted it does take a few minutes to say one word, but really? I was SEVEN.

    Mental health doesn’t apply to men. False. Many men don’t seek counselling or help due to this misconception. Mental health is real for all men, straight, gay, single, married etc.

    That being religious / having a faith (any faith) means you’re automatically anti-intellectual, anti-health care, anti-science, etc. Historically, people associated with faiths around the world have been pioneers in academics.

    For example: the early Islamic period was one of the greatest eras of mathematic pioneering in our history, not to mention astronomy. Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, was a Catholic Augustinian Friar. There are plenty of people in the world who have a faith or religion and are proponents and supporters of science, medicine, and academics.

    Britain having bad food because some yank sees beans on toast and misunderstands it. It’s a dirt cheap, quick but filling meal to have before going to work or before college because it takes like 3 minutes to make.

    Britain doesn’t have the great fancy food the way France does. But, it has good affordable and simple food–pies, different roasts etc. You don’t want a coq au vin for every meal, sometimes you just want a good old simple leek and potato pie or gammon of chips. And that’s where British food excels.

    Same as cakes and biscuits. If you’ve got a mug of tea, you don’t want some amaretti to dip in it, you want a nice simple custard cream or a bourbon.

    Any stereotype about a country that is built up on Instagram reels. It’s almost always about countries that aren’t predominantly white or where the culture is somewhat confusing to Americans/Europeans. The sad part is , no one is free from it. I had a conversation with a Mexican friend about a book set in the damp grey hills of Mexico. A lot of unfair criticism of the book was because the setting wasn’t in a stereotypical ‘Mexican’ setting.
