I'm a Tory voting Scot. Enough to get me lynched in some places.

Yeah, pretty much every Canadian I have met shatters the stereotype that they are friendly.
The captain of the varsity football team of my high school class was a huge Star Wars nerd and was in AP Calculus, Physics, and Chemistry with me senior year, so I guess he was the antithesis of a high school jock stereotype.
Every single time I actually meet and talk to people instead of making snap judgments on how they look.
Er, most people shatter stereotypes in one way or another.
I am mostly a computer gaming geek...but I have a gold medal from Taekwondo nationals in sparring.
My daughter was recruited by a Division I college in her sport and was president of her high school programming club in the same year.
One of my friends loves country music, and he's actually very intelligent.
I know people who are atheists, but are still pro-forced birth. Conversely, I know people who are staunch Christians, but are still pro-choice.
I know someone who has a PhD, but is remarkably stupid about everything outside of that degree.
Basically, the more you get to know someone, the more you realize that stereo-types never really apply to individuals.
I think I'm pretty unstereotypical. I was kind of a musician-artsy asian girl who wound up playing split end for a state champion football team, and a multi year medalist in judo. Wound up competing in ice hockey, rugby, and having a pro-career in MMA.
Then from there, I became a computer scientist after injury retirement, so all over the place.
