my mental image of litsters is always white.

i'm thinking this is mostly due to growing up & living in the whitest towns. when i was a kid my town had one indian family and one chinese family. the town i live in now is i little more diverse, but not by much. 99+% of the faces i'll see during my day are white so, subconsciously, i populated lit with my daily norm.

there is no point to this thread, just in case you were wondering.
 
Yeah. My world view is me-normative. I picture most people I don't know anything about to be just like me - white, male, 30-something, reasonably sane - until something indicates otherwise. Then I apply whatever sterotype that comes to mind and move on, until that one is challenged.
 
I always think they are dudes until proven otherwise.


And these days even tittie pics are not enough.
 
I imagine different things for different countries.
America - equal numbers of white and African-Americans.
Britain - pretty much all white.
Canada - about 75% white.
Australia - 85% white, 15% mixed race.
And unless someone states a different country, those are the only ones I think of as being here.
 
I imagine in cartoons- in my mind, the entire world looks like my art style. That's the reason I draw that way- I actually can draw things exactly how they look- if you give me a photograph, I can draw it. But if you tell me to draw something I've memorized, it comes out like a Myazaki (sp) cartoon. Therefore, in my mind, everyone is an animie character- so I guess Asian? Until proven wrong, and then they're just an animie character with a slightly different skin tone.

Everyone is painfully androgynous until proven wrong, also. Like, now I see Perg as more DBZish, and GS as kinda looking like Donna from Rick & Steve. I don't know if those are accurate or not.
 
Most of the fuckers around here start off clear in my mind. They colour themselves in with their posts. God damned bunch of kids! Stay within the god damned lines! It's not some god damned pre-school crayon exercise! There's a load of the blue bastards running around - gross jokes and saggy flesh There's a green bitch or two - watch 'em but avoid 'em. Load of red in the face ones too. They funny, mostly. The lavender and pink ones always throw me. The brown ones have made themselves out to be poo-heads. The white ones live all up where it's always cold. My town's pretty god damned diverse. We got a chink family down the street now too.

I'd like to think of myself as a pink one.

I want to be lavender.
