Line 37:
* ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'': Stereotypical nerds, who can't even talk to their neighbour without being absolute freaks. Everything they do is to make them seem pathetic, useless, elitist or to attempt to look like [[One of Us]].
* The Spirit of Jazz from ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]'', a demented Voodoo jazz musician, as well as the two guitar players Rudi and Spider—who were broad Latino stereotypes—were all played by White guys ([[Blackface|wearing black or brown makeup]] ). Then again, ''Boosh'' has a very small cast so those actors tend to play ''everyone''.
* Fiona Glenanne of ''[[Burn Notice]]'' has been accused of this. She's an [[Oireland|Oirish]], [[Hot -Blooded]] [[The Troubles|ex-IRA terrorist]] whose prime source of income is [[Arms Dealer|running guns]] and whose contribution to every planning session is to [[Fighting Irish|suggest the application of excessive violence]]. All that, and she's [[Britain Versus the UK|played by an English actress]], too.
* The show ''My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding'' and the [[Spin-Off]] in America have been accused of intentionally highlighting extreme Romani lifestyles and making them seem abnormal.
