“Born Gifted”: 40 Stereotypes And Misconceptions Netizens Want People To Stop Believing

As much as annoying uncles and hack comedians love them, stereotypes are generally not based on anything more than anecdotal evidence. However, much like weeds or plastic tossed out in the wild, they just do not die out, much to the chagrin of people who actively have to go through life being told things about themselves by misinformed strangers.

Someone asked “What stereotype do you find most annoying or offensive?” and netizens shared all their personal examples. We also got in touch with the person who asked the question. So get comfortable as you read through, upvote the ones you agree with most and be sure to add your own thoughts and experiences in the comments section below.
