Hes only saying it because hes Welsh ye , but he posts about Irish people being drunks ! the cheek.

[BL!NKEY]

why do people think blonde are pretty?!!?!?!?!?!!?

i have hideous pictures of me blonde

Not all blonds are pretty.

Anyways I like stereotypes and think that they are fun to think about. Most of them are pritty true.

I dont think they are 100% true. But if you reverse all of those stereotypes around and look for people doing the second part, the type of person who would do that is usually going to be the person in the first part.

If anyone undersands that.

Anyways life is about making stereotypes and then judging people and hopefully changing your judgements if you get to know someone better.

Ever notice how it's only chavs that don't seem to care about labelling? They embrace what they are and are proud of it, everyone else seems to spend most of their time trying to be "individual". Why bother? Humans are naturally social/tribal creatures, we naturally want to fit in, and aesthetics have always played a big part.
Too often do I see goths/emos/alternative kids/scenesters complaining about getting stereotyped, seriously, get over it. If you don't want people to judge you, don't let them see you. What really gets me is that these people say all this about hating labelling and such, but are quick to point out a chav whenever they see one.
You shouldn't try to be individual. By all means be yourself, but being yourself doesn't mean you have to think of how you can be as unlike anyone else as possible.

All of the above in 3 short words:

Quit yer moaning.

Thats a prehistoric chain letter/myspace bulliten "/
And your problems redicuslus. I dress like an emo, and people call me emo.... go figure. o.0
Steriotype is bad when wrongly applyed, if you fit there steriotype then its correctly applyed. If you are forfilling the steriotype of emo, then you are a danmed emo "/

NO CUZ I WNT 2 B INDERVIDUERL

[DCeption]

I'm BLONDE, so I MUST be a stupid ditz.


Chantelle doesnt help you much with that point And yeah i dont like sterotyping, its kind of sad, not to see how people for who they really are.

And to flyingjesus point, people trying to be individual are just following a trend of trying to be individual therfore are not. I probably just contradicted myself there :S

[FlyingJesus]

No it made perfect sense ^_^ And I agree completely. I worked out a while ago that no-one's ever going to be individual, and stopped even thinking about trying it. If I'm honest, I do want to fit in so my clothing choice will always somewhat reflect on how I think other people will react - and I'm not the sort of person who wants to have a big reaction for standing out.

Although chantelle is a stupid ditz thats only one person out of howevermany blondes there are, so in a way stereotypes are true but often only for a small percentage, and i do think that people who dress and act emo should actually admit to it and not say they are trying to be different, im emo i know i am im not different most of my friends are emo.

but so far most people in this thread have only talked about emos and chavs and blondes, i was more interested in the racial stereotypes because these are the ones that mostly effect people in a bad way.
