Stereotype Flip	comment	Much like the very tropes described on this site, Ethnic and National Stereotypes are things that an audience reasonably expects (for reasons good and... not so good) when confronted by an individual of a given background. Some writers know this, and just like the tropes associated with fiction, they decide to turn it on its head. A Stereotype Flip occurs when an individual does something that runs in direct contradiction to some established stereotype based on that character's gender, race, religious belief, nationality, or country (or planet) of origin. This is often Truth in Television, as none ever fit all the given stereotypes associated with their background. If enough individuals do a Stereotype Flip, the stereotype in question may become a Discredited Trope. A Stereotype Flip is not always a good move, however; it can sprout Unfortunate Implications of its own. Inverting a negative stereotype can lead to Flawless Token, and inverting a "model minority" stereotype is risky because portraying a minority as dumb, cowardly, and/or evil taps into much more basic forms of xenophobia than portraying them as being smart but nerdy. Finally, even if both those pitfalls are avoided, it still must be remembered that flipping a stereotype isn't the same as avoiding it; flipped stereotypes are no substitute for actual well-rounded characters. Applies to fictional backgrounds as well. If the character is deliberately defying the "nature" of his people, it overlaps with My Species Doth Protest Too Much. If they choose a culturally disfavored role knowingly, then Klingon Scientists Get No Respect. Related to Square Race, Round Class and Token Heroic Orc. Cultural Rebel is generally the product of a character given the Stereotype Flip treatment. Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy and Asian Airhead are subtropes of this. See also Power Stereotype Flip, for when their personality contrasts with their powers. May be a result of Stop Being Stereotypical.

Stereotype Flip / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Wolverine famously defies stereotypes of Canadians being unrealistically polite by being abrasive, crude, quick-tempered and prone to violent outbursts. Despite debuting during a very intense period between the Western and Eastern Blocs, Colossus was unique among Soviet Union characters at the time by being a kind, trustworthy hero. Even to this day, it's hard to come up comic book characters of Eastern European origin who are heroes, let alone ones as heroic as Colossus. Generation X was this trope plus Five-Token Band: the girl from Kentucky was the smart one, the guy from Los Angeles was the nice one, and so on. Forge is a Zig Zagging example. While most Native American superheroes tend to have super strength, super senses or magic-based abilities, Forge's mutant power gives him an intuitive talent for developing machines. However, Forge also has magical knowledge that he rarely uses.

Woodcomb combs like a typical "frat boy." And while he has that silly catchphrase, played football, and loves to say "bro" and "dude"; he is also an accomplished doctor, and a genuinely caring husband and friend. Casey is a hardened veteran, and in the first couple of seasons seems to have no problem with a standing order to kill Chuck when ordered. When Chuck and Sarah run away together to complete the mission, he tracks them down and is visibly angry — albeit not because they disobeyed their orders but because they didn't trust him enough to include him in their plan, showing he genuinely cares about the team.

She also asks Archer about her quarters; T'Pol assumes she's displeased with the smell as Vulcans have a more heightened sense of smell than humans. Rather, she wants Archer to thank the crewman who loaned it to her. There is also an episode of a group of Vulcan outcasts. One of the biggest clues that something is different about them is when their leader foregoes the typical vegetarian meal the chef prepared for him and asks to try some of the chicken, despite the well-known fact that Vulcans never consume meat.

A police car pulls up and an officer eyes the youth. You think it's going to be a classic Rodney King-esque scene (it takes place in 1960s Virginia). But... the officer simply congratulates the youth on a well-played game and wishes him good luck for an upcoming game. The black player, and presumably the audience, are pleasantly surprised.

Stereotype Flip / int_249b3519	comment	The Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle movies are built on this trope: Kumar inverts the stereotype of South Asians being hardworking and studious, as he is an unemployed, irresponsible, Brilliant, but Lazy slacker stoner with terrible personal hygiene. However, the sequel shows that he actually was a high achieving math nerd in college until he was introduced to pot by a white girl. Harold does tick a lot of the stereotype boxes for an Asian-American. He's intelligent, fastidious, high-strung and works in finance. However, he is also a recreational pot user like Kumar, although he strictly only does it outside of work. A flashback to his college days also shows that he used to be an Emo Kid. Played with in a sequence where Harold and Kumar are in the Deep South, and meet a stereotypical redneck farmer... who turns out to be rich and sophisticated and lives in a very nice home with all modern conveniences and designer clothes... however, it's then revealed that he and his wife are brother and sister, and keep their deformed, inbred son chained up in the basement. In another scene, they break down in Compton and see a group of Scary Black Men advance on them, with the biggest and scariest carrying a tire iron. They flee, only for a guy to roll in a spare tire from offscreen and the group to wonder why they ran away rather than accept their help in repairing the car. The leader, who turns out to be an orthodontist, then says they need to call the police to report the suspicious incident.

And this trope apparently runs in the family, since he has a brother who is a rabbi. This aspect of his character is dwelt on far less past the first season, after which he is flanderized into an insane megalomaniac. A later season revealed that he was never actually married, and made up that story to get hired for the job. The Dean was too worried about appearing racist to question its validity. The same is most likely true for his brother as well.

And she's a badass cop with a black belt in aikido who's stood up to everything from a Nigh-Invulnerable hell-werewolf to the king of all incubi and once attacked a 15-foot-tall ogre with a chainsaw. Averted in the TV series, where Murphy is Hispanic and looks like she means business. Still pretty, though. The local werewolf pack are all Dungeons & Dragons-playing geeks. Sanya is a rather tall and imposing black man... who's from Russia and sounds like it. He's also basically one of God's chosen paladins... but he's not remotely Knight Templar or even religious (he's an atheist who rather stubbornly refuses to buy any signs of God's existence). Also, Harry uses his accent and rhetoric to conclude that he's a communist, but he scoffs at the idea.

Stereotype Flip / int_41ecc735	comment	In the manga Cyborg 009, the character of 008, the only character on the team from Africa, is drawn in an incredibly unfortunate art style that is more than a little similar to blackface. This is at odds with his actual personality, which is an intelligent and stoic man who is passionate about preserving his culture and protecting his land and people from harm. In the stories that take place in Africa, the people are drawn in the same stereotypical way, but the reader is told that they're a people with a rich culture that ought to be preserved instead of converted or stamped out. Inversely, the non-African imperialists and poachers are shown as greedy and uncaring about anyone they hurt in the process of getting what they want.

Thing is, their expected personalities are swapped: Tifa is shy and motherly, while Aerith is flirty and adventurous. That being said it's a little subtle, causing some fans and Square Enix themselves to miss this and switch them right around again.

Roy is a fighter, a class usually associated with Dumb Muscle, but he's a Genius Bruiser. Belkar is a halfling, a race generally known for being carefree and jolly, but he's Chaotic Evil and generally ill-tempered when not hurting people or caring for his pet cat. Crystal is a pretty young assassin who works for a half-Orc — but she's the Dumb Muscle and he's a pleasant Don type. The swashbuckling hero Elan becomes a Distressed Dude by the hands of Kubota's lackeys. Therkla the half-orc is the result of a loving relationship between her parents (her father was a human, and the mother was an orc). Half-orcs in Dungeons & Dragons are usually the result of the opposite.

She also possesses an IQ surpassing Stephen Hawking's and has kicked several planets' worth of asses in two galaxies. And killed the gods of a third. She also blew up a sun. Jack O'Neill also breaks several stereotypes. being The Kirk and not into science, most of the time he'll occasionally recognize stuff first... Of course, O'Neill isn't as dumb as he pretends to be. He just likes to put on the appearance of a dumb fighter jock to get people to leave him alone or underestimate him. He's the only known person who was able to survive having the total sum of Ancient knowledge downloaded into his head... twice. Daniel Jackson fits the bill as well. He is undoubtedly an academic in the literal sense (3 doctoral degrees to boot), and a nerd, who in the course of the show, has kicked his fair share of ass, and is far too good-looking to be a standard nerd. It should also be noted that of the two academics on the team, it's Samantha Carter who is the expert on the hard sciences, the career military officer, and The Lancer. Daniel Jackson is a civilian whose specialties are in the much fuzzier subjects of archaeology, linguistics, and anthropology; he is The Heart of the team. Stargate Atlantis: Dr. Rodney McKay is Canadian. He is also arrogant, rude, hypochondriac, and generally a pain in the ass... when he's not kicking it. He also ends up with a hot chick... and is the only main character who has joined the Mile High Club. Major (later Colonel) Sheppard appears to be your typical O'Neill Expy. Except for the fact that he is eventually revealed to have a Mensa-level intelligence, which he simply chooses to keep secret. "Rod" McKay from a parallel universe even reveals that his version of Sheppard is his intellectual equal. In yet another parallel universe, Shepard is a police detective, who manages to track down a rogue Wraith and helps stop him (at the cost of his own life), something that world's McKay fails to do.

Used in-universe in one story when Francine and Hiko Yoshido go into an all-out war over the spelling bee Steve and Akiko are competing in. Despite not speaking a word of Japanese, Hiko demonstrates she is nonetheless a Ninja, and confronts Francine in a fight to the death, smugly assuming that a blonde American woman will be easy prey.

Stereotype Flip / int_629cd094	comment	Dragon Age: Origins has an example of this in one of the romance subplots related to Morrigan and Leliana. Morrigan is the 'atheist' member of the player's party who tends to hate religion whereas Leliana is the church-attending saint of the group. In a flip of a real-life expectation, it's Leliana, the religious party member, who is open to both a heterosexual and homosexual relationship. Morrigan, the atheist party member, is strictly heterosexual and will only entertain a romantic relationship with a male player character. It somewhat helps, however, that there is no stigma against homosexuality in Thedas, at least not from a religious point of view; the one case in the series of a truly homophobic character is a father who was trying, rather badly, to preserve his bloodline since his son marrying another man would mean no children for him, and his actions are not shed in a positive light at all.

The second game introduces two asari who are so far outside the stereotype most of their own people tend not to mention them; a krogan warlord obsessed with producing a single perfect krogan rather than returning to the old ways; and a geth who reveals the hat placed on his race in the original game applied to only a small rebel faction. The extremely civil and eloquent krogan businessman you can meet on Illium. Another one, Charr, doesn't seem to have an ounce of aggression in his body and is seen wooing an asari with poetry. Mordin, for the most part, represents the two typical things salarians are known for: science and espionage. Then he reveals that he is also a pretty good singer, having done the salarian adaptations of Gilbert and Sullivan. Even the fourth game has characters who defy the stereotypes of their race. Drack is an ancient krogan who actually has some pretty progressive views on how his species should survive Andromeda, Vetra is an amoral yet good-hearted turian smuggler who never went to boot camp, Peebee is a hyperactive asari who would rather live by the now and is perhaps the biggest critic of asari culture, Kallo, your pilot, is a salarian who actually doesn't like pushing already state of the art tech to its limits and uses his perfect memory to remember the good times of friends rather than knowledge. Even the human party members, Liam and Cora, can defy stereotypes from the view of the other races (being open about respecting and working with other species and completely adopting another race's culture respectively). Khalisah al-Jilani (an Arab woman) is a ditzy, vapid tabloid reporter. She's not exactly a sympathetic character (the player has the option to punch her in the face every time they meet), but she's such a far cry from typical Arab stereotypes that it almost comes off as Flawless Token.

At this point, he reveals that he knew he was sitting on her purse and mentions that not only does he speak fluent English, he's actually from Georgia (U.S.A.), and mentions that if they want to continue screaming at him, please do it in English, because he might look Asian, but in reality, "He's a Bubba."

Many stories take it for granted that characters like Jimmy "Rabbit", Stephanie, and Lily haven't existed since the 1940s — and even when they do, they tend to assume that those people are "white ethnics", instead of the British-descended Protestants the Smith family clearly are.

Discussed in an episode where Eddie's brother Emery starts high school - Eddie is afraid his nerdy behavior will ruin all the work Eddie had in proving he isn't an Asian stereotype. Emery defends himself by saying he's just trying to be himself without caring what other people think - just like Eddie.

More than once other characters (usually antagonists) will make dismissive comments about her, assuming her to be a Dumb Blonde or a harmless Damsel in Distress. J.D. in "Sightings", a drunken drawling veteran living in a trailer near the border, dismisses the possibility that the Mexican man he saw near Cathy could be responsible for her disappearance. In this case, because he could see the man was scared out of his wits.

Stereotype Flip / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park: Tolkien Black (previously called Token) is the richest kid in town, and his parents seem to be more educated than just about anybody else. The entire episode "Here Comes the Neighborhood" plays on this idea: as more rich and successful black people move to town, the poor white characters begin to get angry, but over class rather than race — until the very end, where Mr. Garrison basically outs himself as a racist. Tolkien does actually fulfill some pretty funny stereotypes himself though: He has an astounding soul voice (then-Mrs. Garrison claimed that it got her wet), and this little gem... PC Principal amounts to a walking jab at political correctness. However, he and his friends are depicted as athletic, hard-drinking party dudes rather than Granola Girls. From the episode "The Poor Kid", there's Mr and Ms. Wheatherhead who are Abusive Parents who foster children only to force their belief on the kids and torture them if they don't comply...the belief in question isn't religion or tradition but....agnosticism.

Stereotype Flip / int_df424ee8	comment	Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun has the main cast go against what is often expected of their character roles in romantic shoujo series. It helps that all of them save Chiyo and Nozaki have traits taken from stock characters of the opposite sex. The titular Nozaki is a very tall, muscular Hunk who used to be captain of the junior high basketball team. He's also The Stoic and approaches his problems head-on. That said, he's also an award-winning shoujo mangaka and is utterly obsessed with writing good quality romance stories. Even Chiyo, to a degree. Yes, she's very much like a typical shoujo heroine: girly, cutesy, determined, and obsessed with her crush. But she's also a bit of a Deadpan Snarker and is a Stalker with a Crush towards Nozaki. Mikoshiba has the appearance and attitude of a playboy towards his classmates, but outside of school, he's a socially awkward Otaku who plays dating sims in order talk to girls more easily, even though said dating sims depict almost or entirely unrealistic conversations one would have with girls. His subtle Tsundere tendencies and fragile heart underneath his cool persona make him the basis of Let's Fall in Love's heroine, who is as stereotypical a Stock Shoujo Heroine as it gets. Kashima is the charming and androgynous-looking female "prince" of the school who loves flirting with other girls. She would be right at home in a One-Gender School Shoujo manga, but if she were a guy, she would fit the textbook shoujo "School Prince" easily. She also flips a common tomboy stereotype in shonen romance; rather than being insecure about her masculine qualities due to not being "girly" enough, she revels in them. Hori is Kashima's senpai who frequently beats her up for skipping Drama Club and excessively flirting. Not only is this an inversion of the typical "girl comically beats up guy for being a pervert/idiot", but if Hori were a girl, he would probably be the "Prince's beleaguered friend" in a shoujo romance who is always trying to make sure the Prince actually does more than be a playboy. Seo is loud, abrasive, blunt, and rude. Case in point, Nozaki used her characteristics to create a male character who has her personality, which is not uncommon in shoujo manga. Wakamatsu is a tall, muscular athlete, but is an innocent, friendly Nice Guy. He's also a bit of a Tsundere towards Seo. Nozaki modeled a female character after him who plays a love interest for Seo's character in Let's Fall in Love, who of course is an ordinary girl repelled by his antics but charmed by the abrasive boy's rare acts of kindness. He's also a male example of the Thinks Like a Romance Novel trope, which is a trait usually given to girls in both shonen and shoujo.

Stereotype Flip / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: A petite blonde young woman in a horror series is...a vampire slayer. The entire premise of the show was to flip the stereotype. There's also a more subtle example in the form of Giles, who flips the stereotype that all adults in horror-based media are useless. His very job as Watcher is to be useful. And later done again when we find out the very British, bookish, and stuffy Giles is also fully capable of kicking severe amounts of ass when the situation calls for it. He mainly lets Buffy take care of stuff early on because she needs the practice. Played straight with Angelus and Spike, and averted with their pre-vampire bite human selves. Liam is Irish, and as a human, had a love of drinking, sex and tavern brawling. When he became Angelus, Liam put on a veneer of class and intelligence more befitting of his noble upbringing, all the while possessing a sadism that eclipsed most vampires. Before he became a vampire, Spike was an aspiring British poet called William the Bloody, so-called because his poetry was seen as "bloody awful". While the human William was a sensitive Momma's Boy, the vampire Spike is a sarcastic and vicious Blood Knight.

"Rod" McKay from a parallel universe even reveals that his version of Sheppard is his intellectual equal.

For starters, the title character is the exact opposite of the stereotypical Imperial commissar, a cowardly, self-hating man with an inflated reputation (or so he says), frequently described by fans like the type of guy commissars are supposed to shoot. Valhallan troops have a reputation for Zerg Rush tactics, but the 597th is a Badass Army of mechanized infantry that is just as happy to let the enemy come to them if the situation calls for it. In Cain's Last Stand we meet Sister Julien, a senior Sister of Battle who drinks, gambles, and is romantically involved with the schola progenium's bursar.

Stereotype Flip / int_ee07ce69	comment	The crux of the manga Please Tell Me! Galko-chan is that every character who appears doesn't play every single idea about the stereotype they embody straight. Galko, a Gyaru Girl, is actually a Nice Girl who will jump at the chance to help someone who needs it, she narrates stories with entertaining amounts of Large Ham, and she dreams of becoming a mother someday. The reason she dresses as a gyaru is to emulate her older sister. Otako may be an Otaku, but she's actually more of a Bookworm, a habit she got from reading anything in her house out of boredom. Ojou is certainly The Ojou, one who excels in her studies, but she's also naÃ¯ve when it comes to what everyone else her age does. Iincho is the Student Council President, but in her first bit of attention in the manga, she realizes that she's never given "creating a world without war" essays a thought until she saw Galko—who she assumed didn't care—take it seriously.

She's deaf-mute, but instead of being shy and passive she's an outgoing, competitive, ruthless taskmaster who is a totally devoted Student Council President. One of the reasons Emi gives for why she gets up early every morning to go running is because her doctors said that she would have to relearn how to walk after losing her legs. Due to sheer determination, she gets through physical therapy much faster than expected and continues to run "simply because she can". Also, rather hilariously, despite being the youngest-looking of the main characters, (seriously, she looks like she's 13; she's actually 19.) she's also the one who swears the most.

Daeran Arendae is a Neutral Evil aasimar with a Lack of Empathy who is quite happy to let others die or suffer for his own amusement. It's mostly an act, though. Daeran is certainly hedonistic and self-centered, but he's a far better person than he thinks. Gnomes are stereotyped as whimsical Cloudcuckoolanders, with the Golarion setting justifying it with the fact that seeking out new experiences staves off the Bleaching. Regill Derenge, a Lawful Evil hellknight, is anything but whimsical, being a hard-nosed and pragmatic killer. Notably this is killing him, as he's Bleaching to death but refuses to do anything stereotypically gnomish to delay the priocess. Half-orcs are often perceived as brutes and tend towards chaotic alignments. Irabeth Tirabade is not only Lawful Good but a paladin. Arueshalae is a succubus trying to redeem herself, and beyond not being evil is completely covered up and chaste, partially because she associates sexual acts with the terrible things she once did (and because her kiss still kills people). Halflings are generally Good-aligned, carefree hedonists who love food, drink and music. Nurah is instead a Chaotic Evil, deeply traumatized former slave who hates the hypocrisy of the "good" creatures and gods who perpetuate slavery through their inaction even more than she hates slavers, and more than willing to see the world plunge into literall hell to get revenge.
