Stereotyping

[Tuck&Poke]

Telling people I have a Jetta usually just makes them think I drive a crappy chick car so I say VW now, not that it sounds any more respectable to those who don't do the car scene lol

try telling them you have a passat. i just say vw, but they always follow up with which one.

I don't like saying I'm into cars, it sounds lame too. The first thing people think about is Fast and the Furious.

Yes.

when i had long hair people allllways asked me for weed.

but other than that i'm white and from what i'm told i drive a jetta...so that's about as far as it's gone.
stereotyping is fucking weak though. prejudice people suck, regardless of what it is based on.

I always say "old" bmw.

[M.Burroughs]

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I **** telling people I own/like BMWs.

A) It sounds lame as fuck to most people who have no ideas that BMWs have a following. They think it just sounds like "oh I like fancy cars".

B) I **** saying I drive one, let alone own several.

People are really quick to judge based on tattoos. Shits weak, sorry to hear that man

You get inked/piercings/adorn yourself however you wish/roll hard/plaster car with stickers in order to make a statement, you get attention one way or another.
A fair proportion of the time its going to be attention you don't want, well...hey...you made the call.


It certainly does suck to be accused of anything you didn't do, regardless. Hopefully, if you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear.

I don't get stereotyped too often, but I've had a bunch of people shoot me confused looks when I get out of my car. Most people don't expect a 6'3" guy in a Less Than Jake t shirt to get out of a BMW. Granted, it's NOTHING like what you guys have gone through. People suck.

Don't get me wrong, I do like to smoke every once in a while, but I wouldn't sell drugs.

Sucks to hear, man... Kinda funny that you bring it up though.

So, my good friends and I all share a couple common things... We all love cars, we all love tattoos, and we all love piercings. We used to always joke when we'd roll up to the store or a restaurant in my friends dumped a6 on 20's, or any nice car any of us owned... And we'd all be covered in tattoos with gauged ears. We all have decent jobs, some of us own our own houses. We're all upstanding members of the community, but due to stereotypes we still get dirty looks... Which is fine with me.

As a joke we started a crew called "DIRTBAG". It isn't really a car group or a club... Just sort of an inside joke. Sometimes we have people ask how they can get a sticker, and we respond... "It's kinda more of a lifestyle choice than us giving you a sticker."

that sucks.

i get stereotyped alot. everyone assumes because i drive a nice car and live at home that my parents had to pay for my car and everything i have. truth be told i live with my grandparents, who **** my car and would love nothing more then to have it removed from their driveway. the last thing they would do is give me a dime to fix it.

i also get stereotyped for the way i look, big ear lobes and lip piercings. because i have piercings i have to smoke and do alot of drugs. EVERYONE asks me for cigaretts or drugs. when i say no, or state that thats not my style i get dirty looks like im lieng . also when i walk around stores or drive around people stop and stare or look at me as if im some asshole. because i have piercings i have to be a douche bag ?

i had an older couple walking infront of me in lowes yesterday, the woman turned around just looking around and we made eye contact so i smiled politely as i always do when i make eye contact with someone. she stops dead infront of me grabs her husbands arm and says "LOOK! LOOK!" as he is just looking around like why are you pulling on my arm ?. as i passed i could hear her saying " what kind of horrible person would do that?" .. i was walking just going to pick up a few bolts for my battery tray, minding my own business. she does all this then has the audacity to say that IM the horrible person ? really ?

You are in Bethlehem. I have family in Emmaus. Needless to say, the entire Lehigh Valley is far behind the curve.

Whats funny, is that if you were driving a jacked up Chevy or something like that, your redneck professor would probably like you more. Fuck the fucking fuckers. This sort of stuff pisses me off so badly. Just because I hang out with people at my college who smoke a lot of weed, EVERYBODY asks me if I'll sell to them. Don't get me wrong, I do like to smoke every once in a while, but I wouldn't sell drugs. Prejudice is a such a bitch.
