Whether the stereotype is national,ethnic,occupational,etc. how similar are you to your stereotype(s). As an african american, I'm almost the complete opposite of my stereotype (did good in high school, no baby mama, dislike gospel and most rap and hip hop songs, meh at basketball, rarely use the word nigger, I love fried chicken and watermelon though). As an American in general, complete opposite; not fat, don't own a gun, not sue happy and know a decent amount of world geography(are there any others)?
American wise, i'm 20 pounds underweight. Soooooo not too well.
I am a Russian. I do drink whatsoever, I am not barbaric, mean, or aggressive. I do not own an AK-47 or wear an Ushanka, and I am not a communist.
As an Australian, I swear alot and call alot of people cunts.
On the other hand, I don't own a giant ridable venomous spider. Yet.
I'm a Canadian. I'm an asshole and I own a lot of guns. So, pretty much the opposite of my stereotype. :v:
I'm a bisexual Canadian University student.
+
* I work at Starbucks
* I'm polite.
* I'm a touch obsessed with sex.
-
* I'm only working a service job throughout school
* I tend to be really confrontational
* I am not promiscuous; although the relationship I'm in is open, I try to keep everything honest and within the rules we've set out.
I believe in background checks for guns.
I think McDonalds is meh.
I listen to older music.
I don't use Facebook.
I don't follow any religions, but I don't have the faith to call myself atheist.

I don't watch animes like Soul Eater and Bleach, but watch older stuff (i.e. Osamu Tezuka)
My BMI is average.
I have a PS3, but no Xbox other than the original.

Unrelated: When did Vista + Chrome become undetectable by Facepunch?
I'm norwegian, like canadians i am a friendly guy.. so i think i'm pretty close to our stereotype.
As we norwegians like to drink, i^m pretty sure i qualify for that too.
I'm part swedish and completely insane
I use a bunch of funny words, love maple syrup, wear a toque 24/7 (I wear this thing when I sleep) and say "Eh" after pretty much every sentence.
Yea I say I'm pretty damn close to my national stereotype.
I'm Canadian and i'm not a huge fan of maple syrup :\
I'm Zimbabwean
I'm not black, I don't have AIDs, I'm not a warlord, child slave, poacher or pirate. I'm not poor. I'm not racist. My accent isn't strong.
Then again, no one knows anything about Zimbabweans so they have to share their stereotypes with the rest of Africa.
I am by far the greasiest neckbeard you ever would have the misfortune of meeting.
Ten fedoras out of ten.
I'm a new zealander. I don't have sheep or wear stubbies or jandals or drink beer but I do say "yeh nah" and "mate."
Canadian Homosexual
I sound Canadian, from what I heard. I enjoy kraft dinner. I don't say eh after every sentence and pronounce aboot correctly. I'm not really a fan of hockey. I don't even act like a stereotypical gay, I find them repulsive.

So yeah. Simultaneously the epitome and the opposite of my stereotype.
As a Mexican, I eat Mexican food closely to every day.
Mexican tacos are different from the tacos in the US.
Mexico feels kind of post-apocalyptic at times.
