What is the most surprising stereotype or prejudice you have ever heard about?

Have you ever witnessed, heard or read about surprising, disturbing, ridiculous or absurd prejudices or stereotypes? I visited a small town once and found that a lot of relatively normal people there were full of prejudices about people in the neighboring town. Telling me that the average person from that other small, quite normal looking town was a sex addict weirdo and also a thief. Being an outsider to this conflict, I found this so extremely ridiculous that I still break out in inane giggle when I think about it. Have you ever had a similar situation?

Answer #1

that all men with their left ear peirced was gay

Answer #2

Lissenup - that’s no stereotype.
Blokes what wear earrings are just as gay as those what wear pink shirts, have limp wrists, or stand around posing like teapots.

Answer #3

That because you live in the country and drive a 4x4 pickup you must be prejudice. So not true.

Answer #4

Lol. I’m driving a 4x4, (but not a pickup). http://funadvice.com/r/15f2rq8jmsv And my place is kinda rural, too…. Well, rural for Germany. But that’s a beautiful prejudice. I like it. Thank you. I really need to learn to act more country bumpkin in case I ever wish to look cliché… :D

Answer #5

I knew a girl who was full blooded Indian, and I thought she was prejudice because she would only date other Indians until, one time she had a date with a full blooded Sioux, and came home early because he refused to date a Cherokee..

Answer #6

Oh my, I imagine that an attitude such as this one might be… unpleasantly… debilitating….

Answer #7

Only “Good Guys” wear white hats. At my age, nothing suprises me anymore. Except how masses of so called educated people still haven’t gotten past a dark age mentality.

Answer #8

You mean like short and stout guys?

Answer #9

… here’s my handle ….. here’s my spout ? . don’t know where you managed to “drag that up” from (if you’ll excuse the expressiion. .

Answer #10

Bit of musical trivia: If you transpose that song into a minor key, you get the beginning of “Hatikvah,” the national anthem of Israel!

Answer #11

I have had a few people in places where few if any Jews live ask me in all seriousness if they could see or feel my forehead because they wanted to see if it’s true that Jews have horns.

Answer #12

Horns??? Why the f…? Horns? I’m seriously confused now. Horns?

Answer #13

It comes from a mistranslation. When Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses) came down from Sinai, his face was radiant. In a different sort of context, the Hebrew word for rays or beams can also mean horns.

Hence this famous sculpture by Michelangelo:

Answer #14

Oh. Okay. I think horns would be cool. You don’t have any, right? Darn. I’d really convert to being a Jew if I would get horns for it. But as it doesn’t seem to work that way, I fear I must remain an un-horny sheep. :/

Answer #15

I bet you can find another way to relieve yourself of your regrettable unhornyness. {:^P
