That we are terrorists and backwards. I hate to say it, but it is relatively true and easily justified.

About my culture - We're all a bunch of sandniggers who hump camels. Everyone is a crazy Muslim who's hellbent on warfare with the West/other infidels. About my ethnicity - Everyone has a thick unibrow, hook nose and black hair. Women have moustasches. Everyone is swarthy.
My thoughts about it - Who gives a shit. People are ignorant.

the funny thing is stereotypes are insulting but at the same time hard to argue because they hold some truth...

My Greek half: We're swarthy, black-haired, gyro-eating bouzouki-players who own half the restaurants in town. Our surnames are so long as to be completely unpronounceable to anyone who doesn't speak Greek.
My American half: We're fat, lazy, monolingual yanks who watch American Idol religiously, eat hot dogs, and never miss an episode of Friends.

santana: Yup, I can't exactly say that Iranians aren't swarthy with hooked noses, because plenty are. The same with religion.

Well, Persians (or I should say Irano-Afghans) are quite numerous if you include the Irano-Afghans outside of Iran, so there are bound to be some good-looking people. The same for other groups. Anyway, a lot of it is so subjective. Someone who might be considered swarthy by my Swedish husband isn't swarthy in my eyes, perhaps because I'm more used to that look.

I think Catherine Bell is one of the hottest women alive, though she's only half-Iranian.

I think she looks very Iranian, her Anglo side doesn't show itself that much. She's had a nose job, so perhaps she looked even more Iranian before. ;D

Steroetypes: Black men are sex hungry, criminal, angry, unable to speak intelligently and live in the ghetto. Black women are welfare queens who have baby after baby. Black men are to be feared.
Ethnicity: Blacks are all hiphop slang talking people.
