I think that, knowing how many wars France has fought in the past, the stereotype that the French are cowards is simply unfair. I'm not actually French, so I'm not offended, but it's the inaccuracy of the stereotype that irks me.
When people of different ethnicities automatically assume i'm the devil because i'm white and privileged. If you don't want me to judge you negatively don't do the same and base it purely on race.

LoudSilence, I am privileged as hell. My lifestyle right now consists of sitting on my ass playing video games, browsing forums and sleeping. I get fed well by my mum. I have no work and few responsibilities. I was born into a middle class family in one of the safest and most well off countries in the world, even America doesn't have it this good. Yes, this "privilege" exists due to the not unreasonable work my parents are required to do and it won't last forever but right now i'm a spoilt brat, make no mistake. This is privilege even by first world standards, not to the point where I live in a mansion splashing millions of dollars but that's a bit of an excess for my definition. Plus we are all privileged compared to poor people in developing and 3rd world countries.
I don't know where the "Asians can't drive" stereotype comes from.
The stereotype I hate most is that people seem to think that Christians absolutely HATE AND DESPISE homosexuals. Let me quickly say, people who say that are just flat out wrong. Sure there are certain Christians who do, but they're honestly just being... wrong. *sigh* It's a bit of a touchy topic for me since I seem to get it a lot, seriously, what is the matter with some people, I HATE NO ONE DANGIT.
There's sooooo many about black people. Where do I even start?
"Black people love fried chicken":
It's okay, but it's hardly my favorite food. I tend not to like anything fried. Actually...now that I think about it, there's some truth to this stereotype. I'm just an exception :P
"Black people love watermelon":
I hate watermelon. It tastes like edible water. Watermelon flavored things are delicious, but watermelon itself? Blegh.
