*stands at attention and snaps crisp salute* Ma'am! Yes, MA'AM! scream

My kinda-sorta-boyfriend is from Egypt, and stereotypes like that drive him crazy too. But the one that he seems to get most often is people who think that a Pharaoh still rules. neutral

I suppose human ignorance never goes out of style. Some people, even in America, think that since I'm from Oklahoma, I'm automatically a shoeless, raggedy-clothed, illiterate, unwashed, talk-with-an-accent-like-nails-on-a-chalkboard, naive farmgirl who'll fall for anyone with shiny shoes and a crisp $20 bill. stressed

But I digress.

Question...where'd the one about the demented cats come from? confused


*weakly* Pharaoh?? gonk sweatdrop
That level of ignorance is actually rather impressive.

Oh stereotypes...I'm from New York so obviously I:
-Own a gun
-Talk like a gAnGsTa!
-Dress like a hooker
-Am a hooker
-Am obnoxious
-Have an annoying nasally accent
-Rob the hell out of convenience stores
-Am uneducated
-Live in a cramped neighborhood in the projects
-Have been to jail at least twice


Haha! I know this is waaaay outdated to the now time that I am posting with, but this cracks me up. I'm from Upstate NY and, seriously, everyone that I meet that is from out of state thinks this of me!! Hell, I am surrounded by farms, cows, horses, and corn!! lmao

But really, most people have steriotypical views on different things. It mainly comes from a lack of education about what they are talking about. So don't feel so bad... because you can silently call them an idiot as they speak for their knowledge shortcomings. *giggles* People really shouldn't open their mouths without knowing what they speak of, but the world isn't perfect. *shrugs* All we can do is smile and carry on!
