I could write volumes on the stereotypes about women, but one of the ones that I see the most online is that sleeping with a lot of men makes a woman's vagina loose. (To say nothing of the assumption that apparently, having a lot of sex with just one man doesn't.)
1) This is a myth created to control women and devalue them for having sex; it treats our bodies as consumable objects for men's pleasure with no regard for our own wants or agency. We're expected not to have sex so that we can be 'tight' for other men, because that's what THEY want.
2) Anatomically, it's also false. The human vagina can expand to accommodate a baby's head during birth, and afterwards return to it's usual size. No human penises are big enough to permanently expand a woman's vagina.
3) If a woman's vagina is tight, that doesn't mean she hasn't had a lot of sex; if a woman's vagina is less tight, that doesn't mean she's had a lot of sex. Like penises, women's vaginas are not all the same size. Additionally, a tight vagina can also be a sign that she isn't fully aroused, and needs more attention before inserting anything.

"You are not gay then!" Just kidding my brother is gay and pretty "manly" himself, this stereotypes are so old. When he came out some friends were like "NO way i would never have guessed!" like you can know a persons sexual orientation just by looking at them and their "manners" and interests. "OOOOh this one raised his little finger while drinking: he must be gay". "OOOOh this one threw a tree very far(my brother trying a Scottish game), such an alpha male!"

I am Black/African American and it seems like non-Black people think we all live in the "hood", talk like gangsters or rappers (not articulate), listen only to rap, hip-hop or R&B music and grew up poor.
I have been asked all my life why I sound white. Like, how do you "sound white"?! I have pulled up beside people in my car and they are shocked to hear classic rock or heavy metal coming out of my window (I listen to almost every genre of music). People need to understand that black people are not always what you see on TV and we are not 2-D or a stereotype. There are more educated black people that look, sound, and live like me than people seem to think.

Had a patient comment one time about a cardiologist looking after him by saying "He sure is a good doctor for a black man" I kept myself from going ballistic 🤬 ( I guess African American men aren't supposed to be all "Harvard like") and replied that his race has NOTHING to do with it. You have no idea who your doctor is. He is one of the top 5 cardiologists in the country. He just happens to be African American. You thank God he is your doctor.

I'm probably too late for this one, but want to add my $0.02 anyway.
I'm well over a size 8 and always will be-- lost a good amount of weight last year, but the last ~30 lbs just. Won't. BUDGE. I subsist almost entirely on protein shakes and hit the gym for an hour and a half six days a week-- I even recently brought in kickboxing. I'm more toned, but am no slimmer.
On the opposite extreme is someone I once knew who rarely moved off of her bed or the sofa except to grab another bowl of ice cream. She wasn't just thin, she was *bony*.
Guess which one of us would be told by doctors to just "eat less and exercise more"? Which one of us is STILL dismissed by society as "lazy" based solely on our dress size? It makes me f*****g homicidal.

Thank you. I've been a plus size for most of my adult life. I'm not lazy, I don't "eat my feelings",; I am disabled and chronically ill, between my meds and my mobility issues I can't excersise enough to burn calories. I've accepted that this is my life now; never make judgements without knowing the real story. I'm fat because I'm ill, I'm not ill because I'm fat. My cholesterol levels are normal, I don't have diabetes, not even pre-diabetic. I don't have joint pains or any weight related co-morbidities. I use a mobility scooter because I have chronic fatigue, and I'm in constant pain.

"Paganism is Satanism" and "Pagans cannot be Christians". Where do I start on this one?
First, Pagan is a blanket term that includes different types of spiritual and nature-based religions. Some old, some created fairly recent. Satanism doesn't not fall under Paganism.
Pagans don't worship a devil. Satan or Lucifer, whatever you want to call that kind of evil character, belongs in the Christian/Catholic religion. Just because another religion has a horned God, doesn't mean it holds the same meaning as a devil.
Pentagrams are 5 pointed stars, and are called pentacles when a ring is added. In Paganism, this is a powerful, positive, protective symbol.
In Satanism they use it upside down. Just like the upside down cross is used in Satanism. I could be wrong on this, it seems that Satanists flip religious to mock them.
Many Christian customs have come from Pagan and Druid customs, such as the Christmas tree, the use of green and yellow for traditional Christmas colours, Easter, New Years Day, Valentines Day, believing the soul is immortal, Halloween, weddings (where do you think the term "hand-fasting" comes from or "jump the broom"?), halos over the heads of angels and saints, etc. Pagans have a lot more in common with Christians than Christians like to think.
There are Pagans who still hold on to Christian beliefs. Some call it "Christo-paganism"
"Pagans sacrifice animals and play with black magic". Just like with any denomination, there are going to be people who use religion for ill-will and use customs incorrectly because they saw a movie and thought it was cool. Pagans not only respect and love animals, there are many who are vegetarians and vegans.
Since Pagans are quite spiritual and some do, what is referred to as "Magick", it's not the hocus pocus kind. We're not really illusionists, magicians nor are we scamming fortune tellers. Although, there are individuals who do this stuff on their own, but they are the exceptions, and we don't consider those people real Pagans. As I said, there are bad apples in every sect and denomination.
"Pagans are witches". This is where Wicca comes into play. Paganism is the spiritual worship of Earth, and Wicca practices rituals, that includes some "spells", but it's not the same as you've read in fairy tales. All it involves is mixing things to make something. A simple kitchen recipe for bread can be considered "magick", or sweeping a room can become a form of a cleansing ritual to rid a space of negative energy.
"Pagans dance in forests and fields naked". This is more optional to the brave folk than a mandatory thing. Since the world has become way more populated, there are cameras around at any time and place.
Lastly, not all Pagans are practicing rituals and ceremonies. Some are content to just go about living a life doing what they want without fussing about, and just hold their beliefs to heart.

Old person here and evidently the only one. Everyone assumes we can't figure out computers or phones (I have used at least 25 different software programs in my work alone) and want to listen to the Eagles and Jimmy Buffet all day. I would die happy never having to hear Hotel California AGAIN. Millennial co-workers were shocked I had System of a Down song as a ringtone. Also, that we are all rich living off our social security, in our paid-for houses. I know because I used to think that too. SS might be enough to pay JUST your rent, and Medicare is the most expensive insurance I ever had. And I have not been able to get a real job, not even an interview, for over 15 years because of all the stereotypes against us, despite having 2 graduate degrees. When a job says "2-5 years experience", that 5 is a genuine MAXIMUM.

I'm 49, is that old? My music tastes are as eclectic as I am.

im actually quite a religious person too, but i dont disagree with anyone from the LGBTQ+ community (which im part of) or people from other religions (which i love learning about) or people who dont have a religion, i am nice to everyone even people who are mean to me 🙂
i have autism/aspergers but im not a maths genius im rubbish at it & have a terrible memory 😅 i also have adhd but im not hyperactive/fidgety all the time, its more like my brain has trouble concentrating? i have dyslexia but i can read, just the paper looks very white & its hard to concetrate on the words so i have tinted reading glasses.

For a period of time, I identified as gay (later learned I wasn't) and I happen to be a transgender man.
Some people thought that just meant I was straight. In reality, being a gay transgender man or lesbian transgender woman just means they're transitioning to their correct gender, and happen to like people of that gender.
I'm also neurodivergent in a few ways - some of my neurological disorders include Asperger's, ADHD, and possible CPTSD. ADHD isn't just "trouble sitting still and getting easily distracted", in fact, it is very possible to focus intensely on something if you have ADHD (it just may not be the thing you want to focus on!)
Misconceptions about autism... oh boy, we could be here all day. Pretty much any stereotype about autism is false, but one thing I can say in particular is that not every autistic person is the same. What works for one person may not work for another.
And about (C)PTSD, well... not just veterans can get it. I've seen people say that they have (C)PTSD or may have it, and getting responses saying that they're seeking attention or claiming to have it because of a small, unpleasant experience. Hell, the reason I may have it is because of being bullied and harassed by essentially my entire school for nearly a whole year, and every adult around doing absolutely nothing about it.

Sikhs are Muslims because they wear turbans. If you see a man walking around with a turban on his head, and sporting an unshaved beard, this does not mean they are Muslims. In fact, Muslim men are not required too wear a turban or a head covering, some choose too because it is part of their culture in the middle east. They are, however, prohibited from shaving their facial hair. Sikh men cannot shave their facial hair as well, but they are required too wear a turban. This may not seem like much, but a Sikh man's turban is a matter of pride. The Guru Granth Sahib Ji teaches that the turban is a crown, and it is a huge part of a Sikh's identity. Sikhi and Islam are very different religions; please try not too confuse one for the other.
(Of course, Sikh's can choose not too wear a turban or cut/shave their hair, but technically, it is mandatory)

So I do ballet and Im a guy. The most annoying thing is that people automatically assume that since I do ballet I'm gay. Now I am but most professional male ballet dancers aren't. I like to think that I'm good at it but when people don't respect me because I dance it pisses me off. Another thing is when people say that dance isn't a sport, or that only competitive dance is a sport. It is vary vigorous training and i would like to say harder than a lot of sports because you have to make it look easy. I wrote a report about my favorite sport in 4th grade and I failed because the teacher didn't agree with me.

I figure that people think that they were brilliant, super-awkward, unsocialized, hyper-religious, cup-stacking, spelling bee champs. Oh, and that I wear denim jumpers and a head scarf! In reality, both of them were of normal intelligence and awkwardness (LOL!) and very social. We did go to church but they've never stacked a cup in their lives, nor did we enter any spelling bees. Really, they turned out pretty normal! I mean, at 18 and 21, they both have numerous tattoos - I think my daughter has 17, at last count, as well as two facial piercings - but that's normal in MY book!

Too often people believe that atheists believe in nothing. Atheists simply don’t believe that there is a god, or gods, or supernatural powers. Atheism means “without god,” not “without a belief system of any kind.” Most atheists that I know, and I know a great deal of them, are humanists, and they believe with great conviction in being good and kind and ethical. They do right not because of the thought a mystical consequence or reward after death or in another life, but because this life and each other are all we have.

Hope it’s ok to add this one - I am Vegan - for nearly 5 years. In general vegans are not hippies, sandal wearing people who just eat lentils!!! I/we are just normal people who choose for various reasons not to eat any animal products. For me my eyes were opened nearly 5 years ago at the practices in the dairy and egg industry. My body and mind instantly went - I cannot be any part of this - and I haven’t wanted or had anything non vegan foods from that moment on. We do not generally preach to people, always happy to have a discussion about it. And whilst some may, we don’t generally announce it like a public announcement!!!!! People can find us a threat, probably because it can make them question their own values and choices. And the most asked question - ‘but bacon!!!!’ To us all we see is a pig that was killed just so you can have a sandwich. Thank you for reading this. Xxx

Autism...
I have good social skills: yeah, that's because I spent 30 years to LEARN it.
I look "normal": yeah, that's called MASKING.
Changes induce a lot of anxiety.
That's not because you don't see it that it doesn't exist.
No, it's not "like you". Yeah, we experience similar things, but pretty sure, if you're neurotypical, we don't feel that in the same way. A lot of things are disturbing for neurotypical, but really intrusive for autistic people.
And all the above (and all the rest) is DRAINING.

honestly all the stereotypes about my religion are awful.
i'm a jew. as much as i try to ignore the "money-grabbing jew" stereotypes, it sticks with you. i feel like if i care about the money at all, people will hate me for it. and all the conspiracy theories about us (illuminati, lizard people, space lasers...)
also the jew nose thing. 1, that's not accurate the so-called "jew nose" is more commonly found in German gentiles and 2 stop making people ashamed of their nose. my nose is a bit large and i like it.
also i'm a scorpio. i'm not a psycho i swear.

Atheist. It is not a religious point. It's a default position to a claim made that a god exists and it gets twisted when someone distorts or misunderstands the burden of proof.

Religion: Christianity- the stereotype that all Christians are hateful, homophobic bigots. I call myself Christian because I believe in God, but I don’t follow catholic beliefs, so that’s where I fall and Is how I was raised. But we aren’t all awful people, I promise.
My sexuality- pansexual: there’s a mild stereotype that pans are all innocent always-happy, basically the cotton balls of the community. Not particularly bothersome, but also not particularly true
My race: I’m mixed, Puerto Rican and white and my skin tone is slightly lighter than you’d typically find of a Mexican person and my hair type is giant curly. A lot of people assume I speak Spanish and that my family is full of Hispanic traditions and heritage. All of the family I live with is white and I always feel incredibly awkward when people assume things based on my appearance.

I have no problem to pay for my date either, actually my bf is still at university and I am ready to support him financially whenever he needs it... usually on our vacation it's me who pays for the hotels (and then I let him pay for something smaller like dinner)

Hi. I'm an evangelist Christian. From what I've heard, people think that Christians--specifically evangelists--have lots of bigoted and misogynistic opinions that they like to force onto other people. I know there are tons of mega churches that only exist for the money and that there are lots of stories on Bored Panda about "Christian" bigots that are racist, homophobic Trump supporters. But I'd like to say that it's all untrue. As an evagelist with an evangelist family, we do not think that men are superior or that one race of people is of less value than another. We go to a small church that's going through so many finacial problems right now, and yet they still rarely ask for donations. My mom actually works for our church and she knows that more than 90% of the money that's ever donated goes to charities. In fact, our church TELLS its donors where all of the money goes before they donate, so not all churches are mega/super churches that're only in it for the cash and ask for massive donations, as well as guilt trip the church-goers to give money because it's "for a greater cause" and "because it's the Christianly/godly thing to do". All those stories about bigots that are so-called Christians aren't truly Christian. They just use the label for clout, really. I know too many people who say they're Christian but never go to church and do absoultely none of the practices. So, to conclude the wall of text I built (sorry about that lol), please don't automatically think that all Christians, especially evangelists because I've noticed that we're getting quite a bit of hate as of recent times, are not misogynistic bigots just because of things you read online or even experiences you've had that are similar to the ones you might have read on social media. True Christians who actually have Christian beliefs aren't like that at all and would never even think about doing things like that. Thanks for reading, I really appreciate it.

Colombian here. Where do I start...
1. I DON'T know how to dance, and I hate it. Never liked it, never will. For some reason i'm a fairly decent bass player though.
2. I'm an atheist, and with good reason, and being an academic helped. Most people in my family are believers, but I blatantly tell them I do not share their beliefs when asked about the whole matter, no matter how judgemental they can get.
3. Colombians, as well as many latinos, come in almost all colors, shapes, sizes and backgrounds. From what people consider the stereotype fo what latinos look like, to those who are tall, blonde and blue or green-eyed, and those with African roots, and others who keep their native American (as in the continent) looks untouched. But mostly, we are a mixed "race", and in my case I look as if I were of middle east descent.
4. Colombia isn't all tropical! We have all climatic conditions, from beaches and deserts, to rainforests and snow-capped mountains, and many regions are relatively cold all year long. Also, because of its location on the globe, Colombia has no seasons, but rather a time in which rain is more frequent.
5. Sounding "latino" when speaking in English. I was born and raised in Colombia, I've lived in Mexico for almost ten years, and yet I do not sound "latino" (with a Spanish accent) when I speak in English. Amongst many things I've taught English is one of them, so I guess that's helped quite a bit.
6. No, I don't do (illegal) drugs, nor sell them. I've never even bought weed, and I don't know any dealers.
7. For some reason my famly wasn't so much into doing the typical local stuff, and to this day we are somehow atypical. This is an advantage, but also a curse, depending on how you approach being atypical.
8 I do love coffee though :)

Ex-Professional Footballer
- We are NOT all millionaires. Some pros make less than those in the semi-pro leagues and can often find it hard to get a mortgage. It's only the top 5% or so that make BIG money and most footballers have to get a job when they retire from the game. I know a guy that played many times in the English Premier League who delivers for DHL now. Footballers have resorted to selling the medals they won when they fall on hard times.
- We are NOT all stupid. We represent a cross-section of society and our intellect reflects that. It's always the idiots who make the papers though. Nobody wants to read about a player having an engaging conversation on the fall of the Russian empire. Watching some muppet cavorting naked with a stripper whilst high on more than just life seems to sell better. It's also worth noting that a footballer makes hundreds of calculations every time he plays the ball; wind speed and direction, incoming trajectory and speed of the ball, spin and dip, the location of the opposition, the distance to the target, the relative angle of the target, the motion of the player receiving the ball, projected position of the opposition at the time the ball reaches its target and more.
- Footballers are NOT overpaid. Ok, some may be earning daft money. That's the top 5% again. Most players are on 1-3 year contracts meaning that:
- if they don't get in the team - bye-bye.
- if they get injured - bye-bye.
- if they lose form or fitness - bye-bye.
With the exception of loss of fitness those pitfalls are unavoidable if they happen to you. 'Bye-bye' could mean a transfer to the other side of the world or it could simply mean that you are out of work. That is a huge amount of pressure to be under if you have a young family and a mortgage to pay.
Finally, a footballer's career lasts on average 15 years. Only the very fortunate avoid serious injury and play well into their thirties. Usually, as a player gets older the top level teams will see him as 'sub-prime' and pass him on to a lower level team. It's at this point that the ignominious slide down the leagues into the semi-professional game and eventually out of work begins. Top flight = top wages. The lower you go, the lower the pay. Except a strange thing happens when you reach a certain level. If you drop down from pro (full-time) to semi-pro (part-time) you can earn more for less work if you choose the right club. Pro clubs have huge overheads but because non-league clubs do not maintain a full-time staff, their overheads are lower and they can afford to pay the playing staff more.
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have and thanks for reading!

- Witches/Pagans do not worship Satan like Christians claim. Satan is a Christian concept only relevant in Christian beliefs, therefore, Witches/Pagans do not believe in the concept of Satan, let alone worship/marry/serve/copulate with it.

We are not all Republicans (Libertarian here). The church doesn't actually run Utah. But will speak up about matters that affect freedom of religion. Otherwise they just say to study politics and participate. Yes, you may feel judged at church. Just remind people that God is your judge and what you're going through is between you and Jesus. Or at least give them a look that says the same. Our Temples are Highly sacred houses that we use to practice worship in that is so sacred and unique that we can't really explain it well to people who haven't really studied our religion. Which is why we dont talk about it. We can explain some things, and some temples have visitor centers you can go to. Fun fact though, if you find videos or scripts of our ceremonies, it's a copyright violation and they can be sued. (PS, I do not look typical Mormon, I wear modest clothes, but have daith piercings for migraines and often brightly colored hair. Yes, I get judged for this, I don't care and often use it as an excuse to challenge the judger.)

I agree with you on that, but again its just a generalisation on an overall faith and belief system, myself and many other Christians i know of would go above and beyond to help someone out, if perhaps its a situation that we can't physically help with (like medical and not a healthcare professional) all we can do is pray. I have seen people healed in front of my very eyes of sickness. I think this sort of grouping together a stereotype is why I posted my initial submission. Some people are like that, yes which can be patronising and false, but don't tar us all with the same brush. It's just as bad as judging someone on their skin color or perhaps different faith because of something that happe ed once to someone. I myself believe in being a practical Christian in doing what I can to help. Sometimes people don't want help simply 'because I'm a Christian' what can I do then? Just leave them to struggle alone? I'd be labelled a bad Christian then.... I truly with every fibre of my being believe and know that God can do miracles and intercede in situations if we pray and ask for it. Me having to prove myself to someone like this is pretty much the point of the initial post- I am being judged because of my faith...

It’s really a problem because it’s really inconsiderate to the person, automatically assuming since they are gay, they are required to like every gay person on this planet.

i’m gay (well it’s actually pretty complicated but gay is the simplest form i can put it in) and demiromantic which mean i need a strong emotional bond before have romantic attraction towards someone. and this isn’t the normal thing people! those who are alloromantic can look at someone and go i wanna fate them or after having only spoken to someone once think i like them and have a crush on them. i have only had like one crush my whole life and it’s on my best friend bc after a year i formed the strongest emotional bond with anyone i had before. i have a real friend. this is true friendship (my primary school “friends” hated me and i was the “weird girl” and a pet project) and it has gradually become a crush. i am also asexual. i don’t meet a gay person and go “i wanna date them” no. that’s not how i roll. i don’t wanna date every gay person ever.

Irish here.
While we would not express this without being asked, we find the way that St. Patrick's Day is celebrated in the US to be incredibly culturally offensive. If the same things were done to celebrate Kwanzaa or Purim, there would be outrage. But because it is the Irish, demeaning ethnic stereotyping seems to be okay.
It isn't okay.

Very interesting point. How do you feel St. Patricks days celebrated in other countries? I.E. we have a tradition to spill green (non toxic) paint into a river every year. The ambassador of Ireleand participates. But yes, i could see how drunk americans dressed in green would be insanely offensive. The culture itself, where if they have because their 5th generation relative down the line immigrated from Ireland, current generation are somehow irish as well. That' crazy!

This is definitely going to get lost in all the other answers, but here goes. I’ve heard a lot of stereotypes that atheists all are depressed goth kids who hate other religions. I’m actually a pretty cheerful person, and not believing in the afterlife/end of life reward helps me appreciate the everyday joys of life and to live as fully as possible, because (I believe that) you only live once. As for the hating other religions, I try to appreciate the lessons that they have to teach us without getting stuck on the afterlife/god(s). I like to think of other religions as metaphorical rather than physical. That’s just my beliefs, however, and everyone is entitled to worship how they please! :)

Every single tired, overworked, unoriginal trope and micro-aggression directed towards Black women. For instance, people who don't know me from Adam's housecat, but assume "you're a strong black woman". If only they knew my background and experiences, they would probably get a clue about how fragile I really am, and what it is a struggle to show up in this life and simply breathe and be me without the bs. Or, because I am educated and well-spoken, some people feel so free to say "Oh, you're so well-spoken." This was especially the case when I worked in customer service and spoke to customers over the phone. Then, when they had to meet me in person, there was always a double-take - the facial expressions and reactions basically announcing that I did not look the way I sound, according to their limited mindset. Maybe I look like I should have been rolling my neck, snapping my fingers, and have loads of attitude. Oh, and when I go shopping - either being followed around a store because the assumption is that people who look like me steal, or being totally ignored because people who look like me don't really deserve the basic courtesy of being treated like a human being. Online shopping has been a lifesaver for me - true facts. Or, because I am married to a non-black person, I'm a weirdo, or I don't like myself. Those are just a few.

Okay, so here's my thing:
I am/was really good at school, like I would get 1s(the best grade) in most of my subjects and stuff like that. So people(classmates) would assume I was a nerd. Or that I like school, study all my free time. I DO NOT! And I don't like school. I do read in my free time, but like not school books? Who does that?(I don't care if you do, it's just my reaction to it when people say that about me) Half a year ago, I skipped a year and here's the thing: I'm still good. Not that good, as I was before, but still considered good.
Another problem: Everybody's talking about how COVID has affected *all* students, nobody learned a thing and we need to do school slower now. And sure, that is true, but in school, when I'm bored, I want to read a book or draw something. After I finished my work. But teachers told me both these things:
(Before Covid): "No, you can't read a book, because it is distracting you from the lesson!"
(After Covid/last year): "No, you can't draw right now, safe that for after the lesson!"

"If your genderfluid then your gender changes really drastically and its always the same ones" nahhh i wish it were that easy, 99% of the time idk what gender I am and most likely they/then pronouns are the way to go, but I do use he/him and some neopronouns sometimes as well
"Polyamory is just a way to get away with cheating" oml no, polyamory is when its consentual with all of the included partners and cheating is when it is nonconsentual or not known.
"81 percent is way too high, theres no way that many women have been harassed or worse" I might not identify as a woman but i am afab and for 12 years I did identify as a girl, and before those 12 years were up I was a part of that number and 99% of my friends were too. if anything 81 is too low.
"If you havent been with the gender, you can't know if you like it" I have eyes thank you, I can look at someone and think if I find them attractive or not.

Salutations, guys, gals, and non-binary pals!
I'm abrosexual. One of our stereotypes is that we cheat on our partners with someone who matches our current sexuality because our sexuality's fluid.
I personally don't have much experience with dating, mostly because I'm young and I have excess attraction to fictional characters, but there's one character that I've been in love with for a while. He's male, and over the past few months I've sometimes been aroace or just not attracted to boys, but I kept loving him.
It's different for different abros, but I've found that if the attraction I feel's really strong, then I keep on loving them even if they don't fit into my sexuality. At one point with my ex-gf I was straight (a moment of silence for those days when I was a girl and omni) but I kept loving her. {Zoe, you probably won't see this but hello there, and since we kind of just fell apart and didn't speak I assumed we weren't together anymore}
I don't know many stereotypes and such against pomogender peeps but we exist :)
And don't get me started on transmasc stereotypes. I'm cutesy and softy but not all trans dudes are, and if you get to know me you know that I'm a demon as well.

We encourage by law full scale blasphemy (talking of law here), because it's like saying loud and clear religion can't be interpreted. It's like saying the state can't, and will never be ruled by a religious law (hear religious dictatorship)
Actually the french use blasphemy extremelly rarely in every day life. simply because talking about religion is explosive. so we almost never speak of religion outside of home. But we pay an extreme attention that the blasphemy gets protected by law (thus sometimes used in some medias) for the reason above

Hi. Another Mormon here. Yes, we are Christians and no, we don't worship Mormon. The actual name of the church is: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some people call us LDS. Mormon was a person in one of our religious texts. The Book of Mormon is called that because Mormon is the one who kept the history of his people safe. The Book of Mormon is not "the Mormon bible." We use the King James version of the Bible, just as many other Christians do.
We don't believe in polygamy. In fact, you will be kicked out of the church if you're caught living that lifestyle. We don't hate homosexuals and they are welcome in our church. I should know, I am one. While the church does have a stance on all types of moral behaviors, everyone is welcome to worship God. Some members of the church don't practice what the preach. Don't judge, lest ye be judged. But one of the number one things taught in our church is fairly simple: Jesus said be nice. To everyone. No exceptions. Be nice.

I'm a 6'3, stocky metal-head with tattoos and a big-beard, I cry at adverts for animal shelters and use face cream every night, I am the soppiest, nicest guy you could meet.

This is why sweeping generalizations don’t work we like to talk people into a little pigeonholes to make it easier for us not for them. I hate sweeping generalizations and I try never to engage. Conversely I’m poor white trash and people think that because I’m poor I’m stupid.

Jew here. And not only Jew, but a Jew with a Scots da and an English mum who lives in America. I couldn't tell you how many "jokes" I've heard about Jews all being rich or having doctors and lawyers in the family. Which, considering that my da and brother are docs, is not necessarily untrue in my case, but i know plenty of Jews who do not. I know a family with three generations of farmers. No higher education at all...and we're not all wealthy. Secondly, though I do have a mild Scots accent (softened through more than 20 years in the USA), I'm neither a frequent drinker / alcoholic nor do I enjoy the horrible fake Mike Myers Scottish accent people love to do when they learn I'm actually Scots. I like being me, and I'm happy being me, but how about if you be you instead of trying and failing to be me?

I'm a middle-aged white American male. I live in the south, am a worshipping Christian, and I make a good living. People assume that I'm racist, ignorant, Republican, homophobic, have a superior attitude, and technology averse. None of those are true. If you want to be known as a person, get to know me as a person. Don't judge me because I look like a stereotype you hate.

Lemme add one. I’m from Pakistan. No, I’m not a dumb idiot who’s gonna blow you up. And I’m not a disgusting person who doesn’t clean up after herself.

appreciate this post! German bible believing evangelical Christian here, so do get some teasing pretty often from friends, that wears you down. Thanks for doing the post here! It's a relief finally to get it out there and hope it teaches us to be kinder to each other!
