My stereotypical self

Post » Fri Nov 08, 2013 2:51 pm

So I was sitting down to marathon an Anime the other day when I decided to find myself something hearty to munch on. Only was it as I was returning the plate to the kitchen that I realized that I had picked myself a pretty stereotypical meal for someone from Iceland, a salmon and egg sandwich, some canned tuna and a length of stockfish (Atlantic wolffish).* While not being any sort of a stereotypical meal by itself, it is a rather prevalent stereotype that Icelandic people eat a lot of fish, and I couldn't help but wonder how many others might find themselves engaging in rather stereotypical behaviors for any group they might belong to, unintentionally.

So share stories of yourself (and to keep this in good spirits, yourself only :P) finding yourself in similar shoes, having contributed to a stereotype without really thinking of it beforehand.

Oh shush, it's a perfectly good and tasty meal, you just don't know what you're talking about. :meh:

There have been times where I found myself eating a McDonalds/Wendys plain cheeseburger while playing videogames. :P

Well, i'm unemployed, but not drunk or angry, so i don't fit the stereotypical Finnish male stereotype, i don't live in a basemant and know too little be a nerd, and i'm not nuts enough to be full crazy.

Meh, none fits me :shrug:

I'm nothing like the stereotypical scouser. Thank Talos for that.
I don't go out, I play on the xbox every day drinking pepsi max and eating cheese burgers. I dont know what stereotype I am.

My daily meals consist of fermented milk, fermented salmon, more fish and cured food, and of course the daily bottled cod liver oil. I also have 7 shots of espresso throughout the day and along with my regular coffee; we're number two on the list of coffee drinkers after all.
I'm also fond of vodka, since I live in the glorious vodka belt.
I'd say I'm pretty Norwegian, but I do lots of Kurdish things too.
