Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

Question: is there a reason the page has a section for Men but not one for Women? Or is it just that no one got around to it?

At the moment, this page seems not to be distinguishing very much between the Romani and Irish Travellers, or even mentioning the latter much. I'm pretty sure both are very distinct ethnic groups which might just happen to share a few lifestyle traits. any way to fix this, especially someone who (unlike me) actually knows what they're talking about?

Listing examples of "Good white guy vs evil brown guy" as a subversion in the WASP section looks really weird. Removed.

"Remember that these aren't always ethnic in the literal sense we're used to — they just refer to someone who has something about them which, short of plastic surgery, they can't really change."

So, should Overweight Women even be here? Save rare medical conditions, someone's weight is something completely under his control to change.

Ordering Dinklage

• First point says that Dinklages roles subvert the topic
• THIRD point is an example
• subs of third points are all examples

shouldn't this all just be sub points of the first? -EDIT- Nevermind.. fixed it.

I love how "Slavs, especially the Russians" is the only one that has (and actually starts with) this: "In fairness, there are a lot of other Slavs and Eastern Europeans (who don't have very positive views of Russians, either." Guess we actually are bad people? Or really an acceptable target. So much acceptable, that we are getting some even in "Acceptable Ethnic Targets" tvtropes page.

I apologize if I'm in the wrong sub-category, but does people with Asperger Syndrome count? It seems to be really trendy to make fun of those types on the internet, or at least on the really popular comedy sites, especially those with a robust troll community.

Most of these groups aren't exactly ethnicities...

edit: OK, read the trope description, but the title's still lousy.

I trimmed some of the crazier, nonsensical, or out of place examples.

Way, way too much natter and complaining. Removing some parts that have no redeeming trope value. I got partway through "Blondes" before I gave up. (Related question: should sub-topics with their own trope still have examples on this page? I feel like potholed headers with no examples would be more appropriate.)
