    And I don't mean how you are "on the inside" or what you plan to change but can't blah blah

    But does your behavior and hobbies fit the stereotype that pop culture and the media (no matter how biased they might be) might have against you?

    To not turn this into a what's a stereotype debate which will inevitably turn into crap...a simple yes/no should suffice

    People on this board stereotype me as Apollo Creed-like

    And I'm awesome just like the real Apollo Creed, so the stereotype fits

    I'm not very obese, but my sister and father are. And they both have diabetes. Everything else matches exactly. Who knew I was black?

    I am one of the YES votes. I may not have a pocket protector, or a tweed jacket with elbow patches, but it's pretty damned close. Epic science nerd.

    Lets see Stereotypes of Indians

    1. 7-11 (No)
    2. Overachieving student (No)
    3. Cheap (Yes, out of necessity)
    4. Unclean/Smelly (No)

    I can't think of any other stereotypes at the moment.
