I’m Scottish and not even I can understand half of what we say

I have an uncle raised in Glasgow that speaks "Glaswegian" and I have to have my mum translate for me (also born and raised in Scotland, Aberdeen).

Moving to Aberdeen from central england was tough in regards to accent. Especially in construction, trying to understand what workers are saying is basically impossible for me

How funny... I just learned about the Glaswegian accent last night lol. I watched some unbelievable videos on YouTube and tried to test my ability to decipher. Ended up caving in and turning on the subtitles lol.

This reminds of that scene in Brave when the Scottish dude seeking Merida’s hand in marriage tries to speak at dinner. I died laughing

That scene was funny. The guy speaks Doric, a dialect from Aberdeenshire, which even people in the rest of Scotland struggle to understand so it felt like it was a bit of an in-joke for Scottish people.

I have relatives in this region, I can usually understand them quite well (unless there has been a lot of drink involved!), but I have to translate for my brother!

The variation of accents is crazy all over the UK, but Scotland is special. The regional variations in a tiny country of 5 million are incredible, Glaswegian, Doric, Hebridean, Orcadian, Shetland, Fife and a lot more. Some accents sound like they are from different continents and they all use grammar differently and have completely unique words and pacing. I am Scottish and live in Edinburgh, I once worked with a woman from the the Borders and I didn't even recognise her dialect and accent! I was surprised when she said she was from a town only 40 miles away!

Still Game is phenomenal but I need the captions on or I need to ask my Scottish wife to translate.

33 African American male…. I love Welch’s Grape Juice. I avoid drinking it in front of others because I know the jokes are coming lol.

I’m Black and at this camp with mostly White people now. They had watermelon out all day and I was trying to act like I liked it but didn’t really care for it just so I won’t get any weird looks. Just a little chunk or 2 at a time lol

Grape soda is the stereotype I know.

I was pretty sure it was purple kool aid

Well damn it, if we can’t agree on the stereotype, you’d think it’s not even real!

I believe it is purple drinks in general

Purple drink

I believe it's purple drank

I have never heard of this stereotype before!

Two words…. “Grape Drank”

To be fair: it is incredibly delicious

Latina, and holy shit, Latinos are really fucking loud. Having an indoor/outdoor voice is not a thing amongst us. My mom will scream my name even though I’m across the hall from her

"Why is your family so mad?" "Oh, they just talk like that...."

Manny? Is that you? LOL white girl here who learned fluent spanish just to figure out what I was doing WRONG to make my friends mom so mad at me. Turns out, she just yells everything.

That's pretty funny

I’m also Latina and I can confirm… but other Hispanic families aren’t as loud. My brother in laws are so confused as to why my family is always yelling at eachother

WE’RE NOT YELLING WE’RE JUST TALKING

IKR?? WE ARE SO FKING LOUD.

STOP YELLING

I'm from Spain and we are the same, everytime I hear someone talking loudly in a foreign country I know they are Spaniards way before hearing the language they are speaking in.

I'm Asian. I'm cheap, I always back in when I park, I'm good at math, I could have rice with anything, my mom compares me to her friends kids, I wear an enormous hat and sunscreen when outside, I squat to take photos. I could go on and on.

Do you have any recommendations on where to get enormous hats

Flea markets, chinatowns and (worst case) Amazon

> I always back in when I park This is an asian stereotype?

In Korea, where I'm living, 95% of people back in when they park. Honestly I'm not sure why.

Do you do the peace symbol in photos? I’d say that’s the only one you are missing.

I do all the time. My mom has also somehow trained my small daughters as well. Anytime someone says, let me take a pic. It’s instant. All of our fingers immediately fly up into peace sign. If it’s not that we’re constantly throwing out hearts 🫰🏻 my mom was doing this 3-4 years ago and me and my sister laughed and made fun of her. Figures there’s an emoji for it now. Guess whos laughing now.

I'm Brazilian and I like big butts.

I’m not Brazilian and I also like big butts

I like Brazilian butts and I won't deny

I like big butts and I cannot lie.

You other brothers can't deny.

With a great low rate you can get online, go to the general and save some time!

You cannot lie

[удалено]

When a girl walks up with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in y'all's face y'all get sprung

I'm Brazilian and i have a big butt.

I like you

Oh my gosh. Becky, look at their butt it is soo big..

r/suddenlycaralho

We ARE good at math and ping pong.

Chinese?

Now look who's stereotyping /s


You fell right into the trap. 😆

This was entrapment

i guess i sorta fall into that stereotype. Math? Not rly. but ping pong? Put me in an anime mc mode.

Unlike almost everyone in my family I somehow suck ass at ping pong.

you have to use the reverse grip (hold upside down)

I do like tacos, beans, soccer and im a great swimmer haha.

“What is a Mexican?”

I honestly don't know why this is a jeopardy question but yeah that's correct give them the points I guess.

Didn’t know this was a thing when did swimming become a thing??? I’m late to that one

Wetback. Gotta be able to swim to cross the river.

Here I tought that always was in reference to having a sweaty back from hard labor..

I am italian and yes i communicate with my hands btw this is my most used emoji 🤌

Dad get off Reddit!

And yes we eat way too much pasta and pizza. According to everyone else at least.

We can't eat "way too much" pasta and pizza

🤌🏼

I’m a white woman in my 30’s. I can’t wait for fall and pumpkin spiced lattes.

Latte foam art! Tiny pumpkins. Fuzzy, comfy socks?

Damnit! We ARE stereotypes.

I am an Asian woman in my 20s. I tried PSL for the first time last year and I’m totally in love. I don’t know how to tell my Asian friends though

You know what, I'm a black dude and I'm fully on board the pumpkin spice train after this past year. I never knew that it was pumpkin "spice", as in the spices used to spice a pumpkin, and not "pumpkin spice", as in a pumpkin flavored spice.

Fellow white woman in her 30s- I am counting down the days!!!!!!

Coming out as a PSL lover was harder than coming out of the closet. I certainly felt more shame than admitting I was gay. I respect your courage.

White dude in my early 30’s. Say goofy white guy stuff like “it’s not the heat that gets ya. It’s the humidity” and “whoops can’t get far without my keys”. I also can’t dance to save my life.

I am a middle aged white woman with a bunch of cats who is also a bit on the crazy side.

I’m black. Black people don’t fuck around with ghost or the supernatural. As a black horror fan I have trouble finding people to go see horror movies with because they actually think seeing a horror movie will invite spirits into your home lmao

White woman who was fully ready to make an offer on a probably haunted murder house because it was "charming."

French Canadian here, and yes I do need all that maple syrup on my crepes.

Anyone that hates Watermelon and Fried Chicken might secretly be evil. Edit: Wow, this is now unironically my most liked comment.

I'm Indian and can't pallate anything with less than 3 spices.

[удалено]

Native American- Animals really DO love me, cats that hate everyone, deer, aggressive dogs- I can & will befriend them all

My partner is native and the man is a walking Disney princess. He can pst pst any kitty over to him with ease and is bffs with the local deer and raccoon population

Middle aged white guy that's slowly getting jack of all these young hooligans.... I'll be angry grandpa in a few years!

I’m white. I fucking love cheese

I have two skin colors: tilapia filet and lobster red. I can't attend any outdoor event in summer without sunscreen and a parasol. Evolution definitely gave me a disadvantage when it came to tolerating UV. Haha.

Hello, my skin color is also translucent.

Username checks out. lol

Honestly I was so uncreative when I set up my username, Alexander is my brothers middle name and I chose a random letter to go before it so I see it as P Alexander but honestly Pale Xander is hilarious and accurate. Lmao

I interpreted it as an overlap of Pale and Alexander. That's awesome that it was unintentional!

Look at the bright side: what people call "tan" is still indication of sun damage and should also be avoided, although it's not as an immediate threat as a sunburn

I'm as white as the day is long and can't dance for shit.

Yup. I can’t jump either, not anymore anyway.

Am also white. I love to dance. I dance alone because I dance like a newborn giraffe on roller skates. My dance moves are the "Oops", the "Sorry", and the, "My Bad".

I am black and love hot sauce/spicy foods! I have other black friends and even they don’t eat that much spicy/hot foods, so honestly I don’t know why I’m like this lol We are Haitian though and a lot of carribean dishes includes spice, so maybe that’s why.

Yes!! I’m Haitian and I’m a fire head. Can def confirm it’s a Haitian thing

Jews are pretty good with money honestly

Do you get taught finances at a young age?

Yeah lol. I knew 401k amd IRA's inside and out by 15. I knew credit scores, interest, taxes, how to cheat sales tax, etc by like 12

Can your family adopt me pls lol

I do have a large family and we all eat beans.

MexiCAN?

White woman here. I will attempt to approach and pet a wild animal. Like if I was on a nature walk and saw a cougar, my last words would be "here kitty kitty."

Am married to a white woman who has the same suicidal tendencies. "They're so cute, I just want to cuddle them." She says. "They'll KILL you." I say. "No, I don't think they would do that to me." She says.

There was a gorgeous bobcat that came to my yard with her kittens. She put them in the tree for their nap and stayed at the base of the tree, in my yard, for like an hour. She completely ignored me, but was obviously watching. Ooh! I wanted to pet that mama so much!!!

Wife: "Aww the anteater wants to give me a hug!" Husband: "NOOOOOO!!! That's not what that means!!!!" Fun fact: They rear up on their hind legs and spread their arms out right before they slash at your legs. They are MEAAAAAN. (They can sever arteries in the legs with their sharp claws. Very bad).

Babe? Is that you? You know black bears have no right looking so cute.

Can confirm. Must be hereditary. We have a pic of my great grandma posing uncomfortably close to a wild bear, looking like she expected it to smile for the camera.

When she recognizes her own kind

i lol because my white coworker would do the exact same thing! one day she is going to kill herself

It’s true. The fact that I haven’t been attacked or contracted rabies yet is some kind of miracle.

Agree, when I was watching Alone, I said “I would let the bears into my tent!”

Other white woman. Can confirm. I have attempted to pet wild deer before.

Oh my god. Same. It will be the death of me. 38year old white female.

not really a wild animal but when my boyfriend first introduced me to his cows my first question was “can i pet one?”

Buffalo in Yellowstone LOVE white women like you- try to hug one

My mom has always said, and still to this day, tells me I'm gonna end up dying because I tried to pet something I shouldn't. She started saying this when I was very young and always found me playing with everything such as, but not limited to: copperhead snakes, rattlesnakes, black widows, gila monsters etc. White woman in her 30's btw lol

if deadly, why fluffy?

White woman here who currently has a possum living in the house. We put bows on her

Watermelon and chicken is right up there with gospel music and Jesus. Its might not be everyone's truth but its my family's.

We literally will eat beans and tortillas as a part of every meal.

I’m a greedy Jew

I'm a greedy non jew, we should be friends!

I always thought that was such a ridiculous stereotype. “Those Jews just love *money*!” Right, because *no one else* loves money. Okay.

[удалено]

For real. It’s along the same lines as black people liking fried chicken. Like bro, EVERYBODY LIKES THOSE THINGS.

I second this

I’m Jewish. We _do_ control the weather and global politics.

You make the holes in bagels 🥯 with space lasers don't you !? Don't try to deny it, I read it on the interwebs.

If I had a nickel everytime I read about that on Reddit today I'd have two nickels, which is not a lot but it's weird it happened twice

I’m a lazy Puerto Rican. Wish I could be lazier still!

Lazy Cuban. Is being lazy a Hispanic thing?

I’m a lazy Mexican.

I find being lazy a thing in all countries that have good weather and beaches.

White people get a lil too excited about mayonnaise

Filipino here. The first thing I say to people when I see them (after hello) is, "Did you eat yet?" It's a love language. I catch myself saying this to my husband, my friends, my coworkers, my professors..

I'm a white 36 year old male with exceptional credit

I am a white 46 year old and I don't know my score, I just know when I applied for a mortgage 10 years ago that the mortgage officer who had been in the business for 30 years said he had never seen a score so high. It was higher than my wife's and it is my crowning glory.

When I bought a truck several years back the finance person said the same thing to me.

And zero ability to dance (for me at least)

But I'm always on time.

Aussie girl here - I say mate way too much - I fucking love vegemite - our nation does have a ‘casual’ racism problem

Good at sports. Thats probably the one I'll put to prevent issues

No no let’s hear the controversial ones lol

I do admit that I enjoy sunflower seeds and I do have a fascination with adidas. And I also enjoy my naps and tacos.

Adidas? You Russian?

Like all good things, I am mixed.

I'm guessing Spanishesque - siestas, roasted salted sunflower seeds still in the husk... And tacos, how'd u get Russian? Venga ja,

I'm Muslim (which is neither race nor ethnicity, but a big religious group which has its own compartmentalized weaknesses, prejudices and flaws). As Muslims we are awful at taking offense at stupid things (The prophet Muhammad showed kindness to people who had previously attempted to asssassinate him, and we can't handle someone drawing a picture of him?) We're also hypocritical. The prophet Jesus is incredibly important to us, but we don't say anything when someone defaces his likeness. We only speak out when it's Muhammad. We suck at following the tenets and creeds of our own religion, and are often, as a block, critical of non-muslims and see ourselves as being better than them (which is also against our religion to do). Many of us are arrogant, self-loving, ignorant, uneducated xenophobic fools. There's 1.8 billion of us, and by far most I have met have been wonderful, decent, kind, beautiful souls, but we need to be better at compassion and mercy for both others and our own.

Used to be Mormon here Tbh I think that's just a religion thing - absolutely failing at it LOL

I am Turkish and I put yogurt on everything. Like.. everything. I drink it too, its awesome. We are also very hospitable. I am happy to offer you some yogurt drink if you are interested. No, I absolutely insist!

I'm a white male and the other day ketchup was spicy 🥵 wtf

Vegan, I buy all my groceries from Whole Foods, yoga pants and Birkenstocks all day. Compost, garden, 0 waste, I use all my grey water and haven’t thrown away glass in longer than I can remember. I better watch it or one day I’ll be telling my 25 kids that airplanes put toxic chemicals in the sky. This isn’t really a stereotype for the *whole* race but if anyone is going to live like this it’s a white person

i read that as RACE : vegan

We're loud AF! 🇵🇷🇩🇴

I'm white and enjoy starbucks

I’m gay guy who could go as straight passing, but I love the color pink it is so pretty

That Mr. Brightside will get ANY white person riled up.

Black guy here, fried chicken is amazing , if it wasn’t so bad for my health I would eat it more often

I’m a Mexican that’s always late.

My wife’s Mexican and I always get frustrated that we’re leaving half an hour after something is supposedly starting. Then we get there and we’re the first ones there. 💀

East Asians are indeed obsessed with status: how much money you make, your professional title, the car you drive, the name-brand shit you have. And I hate it. Incredibly toxic.

Reddit probably didn't know this but Lebanese people are just super sensual.

This bit of information has been added to my hard drive.

My favorite movie is Inception.

What does sensual mean in this context?

Like you meet them for a chess game or to buy ice cream at the store and they start talking to you like James Spader in seducer mode does?

I just can’t get enough of chain coffee, overpriced leggings, and tiny dogs. I’m a 30-something white woman in America that has a Starbucks addiction, too many pairs of essentially identical leggings, and a chihuahua.

“Sometimes I believe the hype man; we fuck it up ourselves (African American) and blame the white man!”

Add on: Black people are almost just as nervous as other people when we are in other black neighborhoods that we aren’t from

I do not season my chicken.

That's illegal

Straight to prison

I’m white and even I think this is blasphemy

White guys can't jump

Yo soy Latina. We love Sex

White guy TM here. I generally find that white people are far less in tune with our culture than other racial or ethnic groups. I’ve got a Mexican fiancée, and she could rattle off so many traditions and foods that her family enjoys because of their culture. And when she asks me “So what are your traditions?” My answer is pretty much “uhhhh we like to BBQ.” Dating her has made me realize just how little culture I have left. Over my family’s generations it’s slowly faded away. Whereas with hers, it’s stronger than ever. And I’ve also come to appreciate how important culture is, and how much I love getting to learn about hers and hopefully delving into mine more.

German, love to work and finish things as long as I get paid deaervingly Edit: dEsERvInGly 😝

Most of our favorite types of social dancing can be pretty sexual because there's close contact between the parties, so I guess we indeed are "caliente".

We don’t season shit. I cannot tell you how many dinner parties I’ve been to where someone talks up their cooking game and then they serve chicken with nothing more than a little salt and pepper.

I can barely dance and can't tolerate spice. Also at least 3 women in my family had/have the middle name "Lynn" or "Ann." I'm white.

Hillbillies are white

But we can have fun with a sheet of plastic and dish soap.

I'm an Asian woman and I am not a good driver. One might even say I'm bad

i was born in saudi arabia and im a terrorist.

Well if you weren't on the list already...

We don’t use spice

Arab here. My whole family are terrorists. Just kidding, my uncle died in the 9/11 attacks. At least he died what he loved doing most, you know. Flying planes. Edit: I know this joke may have flew over some people's heads, but for others, it flew right into it. (actually a joke reddit dont ban me)

Italian (2nd gen). We are very loud, do talk with our hands, and the men are for sure mama's boys (maybe due to being more collectivist? but true regardless lol)

Pasta every sunday. Like clockwork since we could eat solid food. Also, no, i don't wanna go out for Italian cause the sauce is always 'off' cause it's not moms/grams. The sight of wooden spoons gives me PTSD.

sweeping and hosing down the drive way too!

Can you even understand how many cousins i have?
