Have we been typecast?

Desmond1979

Just like the Aspiring British Actor gets typecast, upon entering Hollywood, it seems that we've been typecast as Tinpots wearing Lanyards.

We've become the Fast Food Employees at the receiving end of Michael Douglas in 'Falling Down'; all of a sudden. Too nice for our own good.

Makes me appreciate returning to rural settings. Charity does, indeed, begin at home.

I don't wanna be nice. (John Cooper Clarke)

    Lyrics from the song "I Don't Wanna Be Nice" by John Cooper Clarke (British performance poet and musician):

    https://genius.com/John-cooper-clarke-i-dont-want-to-be-nice-lyrics

    Here he comes now the fast fingers, the expert eyes
    And the same old how do you do
    Disgust is just his dumb disguise
    He wants a word with you
    His problems are the end his mouth needs exercise
    The last thing I need is another friend I don't want to be nice

    I don't want to be nice I think it's clever to swear
    Better seek some sound advice better look elsewhere
    Your face is an obvious case you shouldn't put it about
    This is neither the time nor place to sort these matters out
    What you see is what you get you only live twice
    A friend in need is a friend in debt I don't want to be nice

    We never met before I'm very happy to say
    Far from perfect strangers I'd like to keep it that way
    I'm not your psychoanalyst I'd rather talk to mice
    You're so easy to resist I don't want to be nice

    Eh? I still don't understand what this thread is about, who's being typecast, where and by whom?

    I think lots of people NT's and ND's dye their hair and have a variety of piercings and tattoo's. Maybe because I don't do all the social media stuff I'm less exposed to stereotypes? Or maybe I just hung about with non mainstream people for so many years I just don't notice as I just accept the person I see in front of me and only care about whether they're a good person or not, I don't really care about the colour of thier skin, their tatts, piercings or hair colours

    This struck a chord with me because I do feel the need to dye my hair, dark brown because it's my natural colour,  I look really awful with grey hair showing through and unfortunately my first grey started showing  when I was only 21.

    I'm sensible, I dye my hair dark brown every 2 to 3 months.  At the pop in autism centre I used to visit there was a nice lad who used to have a different coloured hair every week. One week bright orange, the next deep purple, metallic green after that.
