Besides really, should the existence of stereotypes choose how one feels like living?

How about not living the stereotype?

That's even more un-Languishlike.

I can't help but laugh given that you're the one saying this. :D

So if I were to participate by taking a photo of myself flipping the camera off with a 40 in my lap and then a picture of my graduation day from college - would I be "living the stereotype?"

No, that would be you having a picture taken with your hair dyed neon blue. :P

I think it has been established by now that I don't go for the younger set. :unsure:

Shouldn't have been a stereotype?

QuoteA man who was beaten in an alleged hate crime in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle will be taken off life support Wednesday afternoon.

Brian Higgins, 31, was found unconscious Sunday morning in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle neighborhood. He may have been the victim of an assault and attempted murder, police said Tuesday.

...

Higgins, with roots in Kalamazoo County, Michigan, was part of a community called the Radical Faeries. It's described as a group of gay men looking for a spiritual dimension to their sexuality, according to CBS station NEWESCHANNEL 3.

I dunno, derfetus seems to be doing just fine playing to type as a 19th century Amish father.

I'm playing it light - otherwise I'd have to rage. I know the flippancy about being killed for "playing a stereotype" is full of shit, garbo.

Well, of course. The point of me posting that was to show that the "stereotype" bit by derspiess was ridiculous.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You'd certainly appear to be doing so.  But why would you do that?

May be just a personal preference, but yeah I think it's generally a good idea to try to avoid negatively stereotypical habits.  For example, I grew up in Appalachia and have tried to avoid those related stereotypes.

I don't see how it relates.
