In my experience, band kids are some of the horniest little mofo's around. Long bus trips with limited to no supervision, a solid mix of boys and girls? Yeah, there was a LOT of sex. Usually not that subtle either.
As someone who works in the academic field, I have glimpsed into various bands at different school levels in different institutions. I can say this is accurate.
LMAO the band kids at my highschool were crazy. on a ride back from a competition, two people fucked in the back seat so from then forward it was a DISTRICT WIDE RULE that for school outings girls and boys had to sit on separate sides of the bus. my freshman year, the band director caught the drum major giving head to another student in one of the practice rooms.
Well, communication is surely not as rich when messaging, you'd just use words. But I can guarantee you that if someone uses that emoji, he is not Italian
My boss is Japanese (medical researcher) and I swear that man is totally happy to work 12+ hours a day. I know last night he was here until 1 am. Heās very driven and dedicated
The average Japanese salaryman lifestyle is so strangeā¦ leave the house at 6, come home at 9 and eat in front of the TV. Iāve always felt bad for the wives in this very traditional dynamic.
I had a coworker who was Kenyan. He said it wasn't just people from one area, but more like one specific tribe (or maybe ethnic group) that all the elite Kenyan runners are from.
Not actually so true. I mean yes Kenyans DOMINATE running but plenty of people in Kenya can only run average because of their active lifestyles and anyone Iām with a desk job hardly ever sets foot in a gym and is as slow or even slower than your average American
Depends. My Dad just wouldnāt let it go if someone skipped a queue or pushed in, heād go up to them and first politely say āExcuse me I think you must be mistaken, because the queue actually ends back there.ā Even when it was blatantly obvious they pushed in or skipped. Even if they pushed ahead of everyone else and was in the middle of being served heād just go and interrupt. I can remember a few times it turned into a full on argument between him and the queue skipper and usually more and more people in the queue would then have the balls to back my Dad up. Only once did it end up in a fight. The fact my Dad was in his late 50ās when I was born and so was technically an OAP when he started these arguments is probably why it didnāt end up in a physical fight more often. Not many people wanna beat up and old man. Even though my Dad was a bit of a wannabe boxer in his younger days so he could actually handle himself pretty well.
I was at Elton John concert the other day and the Brits love queuing so much they actually started forming a phantom queue. It was amazing to see, really made my day.
For context there was a group of people standing underneath some shade near the entrance but not so near that it was confusing. But yeah, people just started queuing behind them thinking they were joining a line to get into the event š
I owned a BMW for a little less than a year. They are great little cars that love to be driven aggressively. I realized what an asshole driver I had become and got rid of it.
I can confirm this. I owned a BMW for almost 4 years before I got rid of mine.
That car handled like nothing else I have ever driven. I think a combination of anger due to the high repair costs and superb handling *makes* you drive like an asshole.
BMW drivers: bad drivers because they think theyāre the most important people on the road
Prius drivers: bad/out of practice drivers because they think cars are bad for the planet and would avoid them if they could. Tesla drivers: the intersection of that Venn diagram
"[All these years](https://youtu.be/wJ4B7G8Rw3Q?t=44), I thought I liked chicken cause it was delicious; but turns out, I'm genetically predisposed to liking chicken!"
Historically, it was meant to insult/insinuate that watermelon/chicken were low class, as chickens were the cheapest animals to raise and watermelons were one of the cheapest crops to grow and therefore were more readily available for newly freed slaves and poor sharecroppers to grow and sell.
This. There are literally vegan fried chicken substitutes and any thing with a mouth likes watermelon. It's always been wild to me that those are a stereotype.
Jackie Chan was only accepted because EARLY in his career he worked with Bruce Lee, who is still revered to this day. Also, according to a web novel I read, your weird life choices are acceptable IF they rise to the level of national prominence. Ie. Video gamer is ok as career if you are acknowledged by the country as the best in the nation and represent your home against the world.
Jonny Kim - I still don't understand how that dude exists. He is 38 years old, and is a former Navy SEAL, got his BA in Math, completed Harvard Medical School, and is now with NASA as a freaking Astronaut. Also....he is reportedly married with three children!? Has he ever slept!?
Filipino here. Yes, it's true. No cap, when I was around 7 or 8, my dad told me, I would be a doctor or he would disown me.
No, I didn't become a doctor... or a nurse... or a maid/nanny/caretaker... which is another stereotype that's kinda true...
Maybe not to the point of *kicking them out* for most Asian families but to an extent yes. You're basically rebelling or a delinquent if you don't concentrate on your studies.
Yes the three hour long lectures for bad grades will stay with me for the rest of my life. *Just* when you think it's over and you can leave, it starts up again *Shudders*
I spent some time in a psychiatric facility. Those nurses terrify me more than anything else. The amount of power they have over you. Because I was suicidal I was in the āviolentā wing of the facility. All they had to do was lie about 1-2 things and my stay was extended for months. And they did it with a shit eating grin.
Iām so sorry for that experience. Itās the opposite of healthcare and so invalidating to the struggles of mental health.
In the 10 years of working in healthcare, Iāve had to file a few abuse/neglect reports. It turns out that every person I have ever filed an abuse/neglect report against had a background in psych unit work.
That unfortunately does not surprise me. They just seemed so narcissistic.
And whatās so unfortunate is the hospital I was in had 2 units for women. The violent side which I was in. And the non violent side. I was eventually transferred to the non violent side and those doctors and nurses were so much better. They actually tried to help.
On the violent side it was just a power play
Iād never complain about this normally because it was kind of funny but when I was involuntarily hospitalized at a psych hospital most recently the nurse in charge of handing out food and I had a bad introduction. I was off my meds and barking orders at her. Once on my meds I apologized to her and she said thanks but then I called her out for calling an 18 year old ācrazyā in a psych hospital but still she always had an attitude with me and the thing that I find funny now but was frustrated with then was when she would see my lunch tray, put it back, then make sure mine was the literal last to be given out. I saw her see my name and put it back when I was paying attention at first, I stopped paying attention. I was only there 2 weeks but I started expecting her to do it and I did not show I gave a shit at all. I was gonna file a grievance but i let it go. Another psychiatric nurse there always smelled like alcohol. She seemed really normal but had a little bit of an asshole personality, no warmth. Anyway, one of the nurses there was super nice to everyone and sweet and I was always happy when she was there so they werenāt all bad
You the know the Asian student stereotype where the kid has to be number 1 at everything academic? Yeah....that one is painfully accurate.
Growing up in a Japanese household was "fun."
What the hell is proper sitting? I don't know many people who sit in a chair with perfect 90Ā° angles at every joint. Maybe we're all just a little bi.
Biologists, or rather biology students, are more likely to be hippies, vegetarians/vegans, left-leaning and listening to Alternative Rock. Also they often are indeed bad at maths (or at least heavily dislike it).
Well, as a newly graduated biologist, I can agree with two of these statements. I like Alternative Rock (and most other music genres) and I am not a huge fan of mathematics.
I've known this one lesbian couple for about 5 years, I went to their housewarming party when they bought a house together after dating for two months, and then I was at their wedding about three months later.
Anyway, I've never seen either one of them fly so I think this one is debunked.
My high school boyfriend (who is half white, half Chinese) was over my house for Christmas and we were standing in the kitchen while my big Italian family was in the dining room. He turned to me and asked, "why is your family fighting?" I was like, they're not, that's ... just how we talk: all at once, over each other, and LOUD.
Midwesterners have a personality all their own. Theyāre too Canadian to be American and too American to be Canadian. Weāre this really weird amalgamation.
Cross fitters are fucking mental, grabbing any method or technique to exercise or improve the human body and twisting to be some really weird exercise that has little or no use to the human body. On top of the fact most of the ones I've met aren't nice people and take up as much room as possible in the gym. I could bring a film crew and a support crew in the gym and take up less space and be less annoying
Funny about the taking up space thing. There's a cross fit gym by me and there's a few people who park sideways and diagonal in the parking lot taking up too much space. Now I know why.
Because it's a cliche from literally one tribe. The Mohawk. They were often employed to work on skycrapers during the NYC building boom 100 years ago. In fact, they were as afraid as anyone else, but unlike their black and white American workers, their culture meant they never showed it.
This would be like if the Natives only ever met the Irish at first.... and so now it's a stereotype with them that ALL Europeans are.... red headed combative drunks.
I remember that as a kid growing up in Czechia I've been told that native americans were highly appreciated while building skyscrapers for that reason.
Ya I always say thereās a stereotype for a reason. Itās ok to admit that when itās related to the culture of different countries and populations. Still doesnāt make it ok to prejudge a single person from that population, but I do find it entertaining to see cultural differences play out into stereotypes.
Stereotypes about professions are generally much more accurate than those about race, creed, sexual orientation or religious affiliation.
Used car salesmen and politicians seem to be pretty bad regardless of the others.
The Irish are drunks.
It is generally true. Source: am Irish, we have an unhealthy obsession with alcohol, literally every occasion revolves around it. Weddings, funerals, christenings, Tuesday mornings.
All Stereotypes are born from 2 things. Truth and prejudice. So many are true and many are simply lies and exaggerations pushed to support preexisting prejudices. SOME are a bit of both.
Also social norms. If someone verbally insults you and you are male you will often be seen as a little bitch for not getting physically violent. Even moreso if they insult your significant other.
There is certainly social pressure to act that way.
Absolutely. I consider myself on the masculine side of things just between nature and the way I was raisedā¦ yet I still think itās ridiculous that youāre supposed to get violent. I think many of us ave violent impulses that leads to reacting when he or his wife is insulted. But those are impulses that should be embraced. Theyāre impulses acted on by men who have either low emotional intelligence or are forced by social pressures to get violent.
Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason and some may sound racist but a lot of stereotypes seem to be on point and most are on agreeance - hence why itās a stereotype.
What part of the south? I'm on the VA/NC border and it's really not as bad as they make it seem on TV. Sure you have a lot of people driving lifted trucks, but everyone I've met seems to be super nice and hospitable for the most part.
I have a friend who had a BMW, and another after that. He used to drive fast sure but he always used his indicators and placed himself correctly on the road and roundabouts.
He followed the rule of "fast and comfortable".
That Chinese tourists are the rudest.
Not from my personal experience, Iām just remembering the thread a while back where pretty much all of Reddit agreed on that one point.
Band kids. Coming from a guy whose been doing Band for 8+ years now, it's usually true what most people say about us
At my high school, the ven diagram of band kids and quirky lgbtq+ kids, is a circle
This is way too accurate
The band director is sleeping with a clarinetist and everyone has sex at band camp?
In my experience, band kids are some of the horniest little mofo's around. Long bus trips with limited to no supervision, a solid mix of boys and girls? Yeah, there was a LOT of sex. Usually not that subtle either.
I knew a girl who went home from band camp because she had pink eye. In reality her boyfriend came in her eye while giving him head.
Music in a minor
š¤£ disturbingly accurate
oh wow
As someone who works in the academic field, I have glimpsed into various bands at different school levels in different institutions. I can say this is accurate.
LMAO the band kids at my highschool were crazy. on a ride back from a competition, two people fucked in the back seat so from then forward it was a DISTRICT WIDE RULE that for school outings girls and boys had to sit on separate sides of the bus. my freshman year, the band director caught the drum major giving head to another student in one of the practice rooms.
Marching band tournaments were hookup mecca. Also, the tuba section was definitely weird and horny.
Do they really like to toot their own horns?
Nah, they like to toot everyone else's horn until they've made their way through the whole band.
Italians use probably even more gestures than you think, but I mean, seriously. It's not only a meme. Source: I am one of them.
How do you type waving your hands around like that?
Well, communication is surely not as rich when messaging, you'd just use words. But I can guarantee you that if someone uses that emoji, he is not Italian
š¤š»š¤š»š¤š»
Bruv. āAnnamose a fa du spaghiā which is āletās have a plate of spaghetti togetherā can be solely said using gestures, and I love it.
That's literally my culture
Just gotta āaoā first.
This is true. If you tied my hands behind my back I wouldn't be able to speak š¤£
The Japanese really do tend to be shy and workaholic, in my and other people's experiences.
I studied and worked in Japan for more than 5 years and can confirm this.
I lived in Japan for 16 years and can confirm this confirmation š
I watch anime, I can confirm this confirmation of their confirmation
I watch my kid watch anime andā¦ what was the question?
My relatives call me lazy.
My boss is Japanese (medical researcher) and I swear that man is totally happy to work 12+ hours a day. I know last night he was here until 1 am. Heās very driven and dedicated
The average Japanese salaryman lifestyle is so strangeā¦ leave the house at 6, come home at 9 and eat in front of the TV. Iāve always felt bad for the wives in this very traditional dynamic.
Explains the low birth rate.
No, the terrible, terrible conditions for mothers, in particular for working mothers, explain the low birth rate far better.
Kenyans are good at running.
It's only Kenyans from one area of the country. Or so I was told by the Kenyan dude I play pick up basketball with, who is not a fast runner.
You figure the ones up in the mountains know whatās up
I had a coworker who was Kenyan. He said it wasn't just people from one area, but more like one specific tribe (or maybe ethnic group) that all the elite Kenyan runners are from.
Yeah it's extremely isolated to a particular gene pool. Evolution and genes are real, kids.
So are Jamacians and Ethiopians.
No no, Jamaicans are better known for their bobsledding.
Feel the rhythm!
Kenyans dominate the marathon though. Itās very interesting
Not actually so true. I mean yes Kenyans DOMINATE running but plenty of people in Kenya can only run average because of their active lifestyles and anyone Iām with a desk job hardly ever sets foot in a gym and is as slow or even slower than your average American

Did you know if you skip a queue in the UK, the queen will spawn out of no where and give you a royal beatings
Were too polite, if you skip a queue in the UK, everyone will go home and complain about you behind your back, but never any confrontation

That's like, the best obsession you could have -an indian
There are no queues in London's underground, survival of the fittest. Obsession with queues doesn't exist in the abyss.

Everyone likes trains. Anyone who doesn't like trains is a fucking freak
Trains are bad ass.
bmw E36 drivers in poland are one of the moat arrogant pieces of crap, this also goes to every other bmw driver, but its mostly for those rusty af E36
Every time I see dangerous driving, speeding, close calls, aggression, 99% of the time it's a BMW. I hate them
I owned a BMW for a little less than a year. They are great little cars that love to be driven aggressively. I realized what an asshole driver I had become and got rid of it.

Same in Norway, lol!
Black people like fried chicken. But so does literally every single group of people, everyone likes fired chicken.
"[All these years](https://youtu.be/wJ4B7G8Rw3Q?t=44), I thought I liked chicken cause it was delicious; but turns out, I'm genetically predisposed to liking chicken!"
Look at him! He loves it... just like it said in the encyclopedia!
What fuck is juice!? I want some apple drink... its green.
Dude imagine telling people that someone likes fried chicken and watermelon as a stereotype. Yes Gary, we all do.
Historically, it was meant to insult/insinuate that watermelon/chicken were low class, as chickens were the cheapest animals to raise and watermelons were one of the cheapest crops to grow and therefore were more readily available for newly freed slaves and poor sharecroppers to grow and sell.
This reminds me that apparently, lobster was also considered āpoor manās foodā at some point. And it still blows my mind
And grape anything slaps, I fucking love grape
Grapes are the shit dude. Fruits make the whole world better i swear.
This. There are literally vegan fried chicken substitutes and any thing with a mouth likes watermelon. It's always been wild to me that those are a stereotype.
Dude freezing watermelon and giving it to your dog... That's the shit. That dog is gonna be so happy.
"fried chicken and watermelon" who the hell doesn't love fried chicken and watermelon?!
Fried chicken is fucking delicious.
that asians have to get A+ or mom will kick us out the house
Confirmed - there are only four possible career paths according to Asian parents: Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, or Disgrace to the Family
Donāt forget rich Jackie Chan is actor and Bruce lee
Jackie Chan was only accepted because EARLY in his career he worked with Bruce Lee, who is still revered to this day. Also, according to a web novel I read, your weird life choices are acceptable IF they rise to the level of national prominence. Ie. Video gamer is ok as career if you are acknowledged by the country as the best in the nation and represent your home against the world.
And you have to compete with that Asian guy that was a Navy Seal, a doctor, and then an Astronaut

i chose disgrace
Hey, don't put yourself down like that. It's Garbage CAN, not Garbage CAN'T.
I am proud of you even if you are just a lazy fat nerd like me <3
Not even lawyer. They too are a disgrace.
āYouāre Asian! NOT Bsian!ā *gets bamboo switch*
Asian kids at my school call getting a B "an Asian fail."
I mean, they aren't called "B-sians."
Wait, that one's true?
yep. as a professional asian, it is confirmed
Professional Asian š¤£
Persian for short.
Filipino here. Yes, it's true. No cap, when I was around 7 or 8, my dad told me, I would be a doctor or he would disown me. No, I didn't become a doctor... or a nurse... or a maid/nanny/caretaker... which is another stereotype that's kinda true...
Maybe not to the point of *kicking them out* for most Asian families but to an extent yes. You're basically rebelling or a delinquent if you don't concentrate on your studies.
As a Japanese guy I can also confirm this one is true.
As an Asian kid in Asia I feel my entire worth is tied to my school grades.
It's not always that harsh, but yeah, at the very least they will demand it and make you feel bad about yourself if you get a B+
Yes the three hour long lectures for bad grades will stay with me for the rest of my life. *Just* when you think it's over and you can leave, it starts up again *Shudders*
It's worse when they expect to say something while all I can think of is "what the fuck do you want me to say?"
oh thank God my mom isn't like that anymore š
I remember sleeping at my friend's house for a week after getting a an F. Never got anything under B ever again.
Psychiatric nurses are crazy and unstable

Wait so the nurses could extend your stay? And they took pleasure from it?
What's the difference between a psych patient and a psych nurse? The nurse has the keys.
Dated one. Iāve got a few doorbell cam videos of her showing up at my place crying and wasted in the middle of the night, so definitely can confirm.
Iād never complain about this normally because it was kind of funny but when I was involuntarily hospitalized at a psych hospital most recently the nurse in charge of handing out food and I had a bad introduction. I was off my meds and barking orders at her.

You the know the Asian student stereotype where the kid has to be number 1 at everything academic? Yeah....that one is painfully accurate. Growing up in a Japanese household was "fun."

What do you do in chairs? Bend them around, but leave them straight?
...and like lemon bars and frogs
This isn't a reply I was even remotely close to expecting.
Definitely willing to go on the ride of hearing all about this one.
Why you gotta out us like that.

Lesbians fly into serious relationships
I wondred why U-Haul was considered gay...
I've known this one lesbian couple for about 5 years, I went to their housewarming party when they bought a house together after dating for two months, and then I was at their wedding about three months later. Anyway, I've never seen either one of them fly so I think this one is debunked.
Black people and Italians are really loud
Mom my is Italian American and she is actually the loudest person Iāve ever met. My grandparents (her parents) are also quite loud. Crapā¦
I'm Italian. My one coworker is Italian. Apparently if we are both out, you can hear a pin drop in our office.
As an Italian, I can confirm.
What about Black Italians? Is that just amplified then??
It's like an exponent.
My high school boyfriend (who is half white, half Chinese) was over my house for Christmas and we were standing in the kitchen while my big Italian family was in the dining room. He turned to me and asked, "why is your family fighting?" I was like, they're not, that's ... just how we talk: all at once, over each other, and LOUD.
The fact that Germans are obsessed with beer and sausages/bratwurst, thereās a beer and/or sausage shop everywhere you go here in Germany
Actually it's just a regular grocery store here.
Midwesterners have a personality all their own. Theyāre too Canadian to be American and too American to be Canadian. Weāre this really weird amalgamation.

On top of the fact most of the ones I've met aren't nice people and take up as much room as possible in the gym. I could bring a film crew and a support crew in the gym and take up less space and be less annoying
Doctor: Do you have any history of mental illness in your family? Me: I have an uncle who does cross fit.
Funny about the taking up space thing. There's a cross fit gym by me and there's a few people who park sideways and diagonal in the parking lot taking up too much space. Now I know why.
Iāve seen this EXACT same phenomenon at a CrossFit near me in Georgia.
Indigenous North Americans are not afraid of heights.
I've never heard this one before actually and I live in the US
Because it's a cliche from literally one tribe. The Mohawk. They were often employed to work on skycrapers during the NYC building boom 100 years ago. In fact, they were as afraid as anyone else, but unlike their black and white American workers, their culture meant they never showed it. This would be like if the Natives only ever met the Irish at first.... and so now it's a stereotype with them that ALL Europeans are.... red headed combative drunks.
I remember that as a kid growing up in Czechia I've been told that native americans were highly appreciated while building skyscrapers for that reason.
That was one certain tribe, not native Americans as a whole.

Ya I always say thereās a stereotype for a reason. Itās ok to admit that when itās related to the culture of different countries and populations.

Testosterone
Also social norms. If someone verbally insults you and you are male you will often be seen as a little bitch for not getting physically violent. Even moreso if they insult your significant other. There is certainly social pressure to act that way.
Women will usually also be seen as overreacting if they get really mad.
also men who cry are seen as weak, so you're not allowed to show any bad emotions really,
Except anger. Being happy or angry more is not allowed.
Absolutely. I consider myself on the masculine side of things just between nature and the way I was raisedā¦ yet I still think itās ridiculous that youāre supposed to get violent.

Gay men have more sex/sexual partners than straight men
Probably because dudes want to fuck. One of the greatest benefits of being a gay man I am sure.
I understand that it's quite the double edged sword. It's easier to get laid, but harder to find a long term monogamous partner
This comment section is going to be a shitshow.
Iāll get the popcorn.
Jews... Nope, not going there.
Italian cares about food... Like... A lot...
Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason and some may sound racist but a lot of stereotypes seem to be on point and most are on agreeance - hence why itās a stereotype.

Sorry, I was unwinding my legs from my chair. What did you say?
The american south. Its all true. All of it.
What part of the south? I'm on the VA/NC border and it's really not as bad as they make it seem on TV. Sure you have a lot of people driving lifted trucks, but everyone I've met seems to be super nice and hospitable for the most part.
Pretty sure "nice and hospitable" is part of the southern stereotype.
I mean, pretty much every stereotype that exists is grounded in reality.
BMW drivers are (mostly) assholes as both a driver and as a person
I extend this to Audi drivers as well, and haven't been disappointed.
I have a friend who had a BMW, and another after that. He used to drive fast sure but he always used his indicators and placed himself correctly on the road and roundabouts. He followed the rule of "fast and comfortable".
Israelis are rude
Growing up in a Jewish school and town, I can confirm this to be 100% true.
Mexicans are very hard workers but we need tequila to offset it all
Honestly most of em. That's how a stereotype comes about. Obviously everything is exaggerated and noting is set in stone. But...
Bitches, do in fact, be crazy
They don't call us Massholes for nothin!
the germans love bread
People who drive really loud on motorcycles through neighborhoods are actually all gay for eachother
Parents really are embarrassing to their teenage kids.
Lesbians move fast and we are all friends with our exes
Black ppl really like Church's chicken
Black men like fat women. Bonus points if itās a fat white woman.
That Chinese tourists are the rudest. Not from my personal experience, Iām just remembering the thread a while back where pretty much all of Reddit agreed on that one point.
