Too many stereotypes for me to choose. By virtue of experience I know people are people no matter where or who or race or whatever..

 The stereotype that gets me is that all black women have sassy talking, neck rolling , finger popping, hands on their hips personalities!

 In my opinion the most annoying are the ones who think that they know everything about doctors' work and are always trying to teach you something !

 My girlfriend is Japanese and many men try to get her phone number because of the stereotype that all Japanese girls want an American boyfriend and are easy to get into bed. I really hate those. What's worse, she sometimes mentions 'my boyfriend' in her conversations with them and they still try to get her to go out for a cup of coffee! I wouldn't mind her going out with friends, but these are complete strangers that walk up to her at Starbucks while she is studying. Talk about desperate. That's what singles bars are for. Take that behavior to the right place.

The good thing is that she has learned to step outside of her cultural norms and politely say 'no,' which can be difficult for some Japanese people. Especially if they grew up in Japan.

 Ugh the 'all goths are satanists' stereotype. I'm stereotyped as 'goth' because of my chioce in clothing and with it i am also always stereotyped as 'satanist' this annys the hell out of me cuz i am a Christian.

 ALL stereo types annoy me. I'm puertorican and a lot of my friends and people thought i was conceited by the way i looked because i was puertorican. But they said when they talk to me for the first time that i was nothing like a conceited person. I hate that why do people think just becuz i'm puertorican i'm conceited when i'm really not!!!
People should really not stereo type people

 I think anyone who stereotypes anyone is annoying to me people shouldn't judge anyone by their religion or color or gender...it is not anyone's right to judge anyone.

 I am italan and the only things we are noted for, cooking(the guy in the pizza parlor, tossing dough, or for being gangsters. I also hate when italians pose as gangsters or say I with the moffeoso. I have dated a few men who decied to rent a dvd, what do they always pick out the godfater, or respectavly one of the sequels. I mean nona burned me out on them by the age of ten. We are either fat and hairy, or dashingly beatiful. I will admit we call poppys back a bear skin rug:) For some reason my cold meds are greatly effecting my spellin. Sorry. We must always, always breed, that is our purpose, the man's job is bringin home the bacon. Well its the my family has thought for years. With that said my husband will help any way he can w/the kids, housework.ect. I actually have to fuss at him my chores aren't so many I can handle them on my home blah, blah Please don't email me sympathy, I have been around the world exposed to many thing, this life style is my choice, it's what I wanted feedback?

 Cowboys are said to be dumb, and I'm not! When I worked with other cowboys I had to hide my smarts, and after they saw me man handling mean cattle I earned their respect. They over looked my being smart.

Well that and I'm into a form of martial arts only used in the military, and is very offensive not defensive as they teach in Do Jo's. Lol :)

 I think stereotyping different groups of people is an easy, non-threatening way to try to define and understand those who are not of your same culture, race, nationality, religion etc. When I say non-threatening, I mean for the person who is doing the stereotyping. I am by no means defending it, just saying that many people do not have or take the opportunity to really get to know someone whose background is very different from their own. They may even feel afraid of people who are not like themselves. Human beings naturally want to try to make sense of their world and this is an easy (lazy) way of doing that with other people. It's a sort of shorthand.

When someone with an open mind has the opportunity to get to know a person who is different from themselves, they see that everyone is an individual. Everyone wants to be valued for who they are and being defined by a broad and usually negative stereotype can be hurtful.

This is one of the reasons Blurtit is so wonderful. It affords us the opportunity to interact with people from all over the world. In many of the topics and questions that come up, I see people from varied backgrounds who feel the same as I do. I also get to enjoy unique perspectives that I might never have thought of on my own.

Thank you for a thought-provoking question. I hope before anyone stereotypes someone else, they think about how they would feel if that were done to them.

 Ive never herd of that stereotype of a japanese person. I think all asians are hard to differentiate. I mean to me the stereotype is slanty eyes and skinny rice eaters rite? Lol Thats me a stupid white american though. Lol

I think poeple are more aware of stereotypes that fit there type in there own worlds.
I also think the most annoying stereotype is the meaning of the word itself.

Function: Noun
Etymology: French stéréotype, from stéré- stere- + type
1 : A plate cast from a printing surface
2 : Something conforming to a fixed or general pattern; especially : A standardized mental picture that is held in common by members of a group and that represents an oversimplified opinion, prejudiced attitude, or uncritical judgment

darn french people. No seriously though when a person is stereotypical he is using a form of racism in my opinion
I know its not a "race thing" but thats my point really. Its a judgment thing. Wich is what racism is is judgment
or stereotype based on race.

Its not a race thing nothing is because every race has its differences withen it culture and society. No one is the same. Duh! Only similar, but not always.

Since you posed a question about stereotypes and a particular race it comes up in my mind.

Had you said "what stereotype comes to mind for someone who takes pictures a lot and wears big ass glasses"

I probably would say a poindexter (wich it self is a stereotype haha) otherwise known as nerd maybe geek?
I take a lot of pictures. I like them its like art to me. I dont weare glasses, but one day im sure I will need them. Im in my own definition geed or nerd.
We are all geeks for what we like. Its called passion.... No matter what its for.

I hate people who place judgment by adhering to strict rules of any stereotype. Its very anoying. It will also depend on where you have been in life and who you are. Both physically and mentally........

My final answer in a few words:

I think the one for me is (being that im blond hair blue eyed and white) that i must be rasist. Im not. I hate when a white man starts talkin rasist like its "ok" I get very defensive. I tell em how it is my little brother is half black and my step dad is black there both good peeps.
