Message board posters.
When I admitted to my MIL that I post on discussion forums, she immediately suspected me of joining the BNP.

People don't mind good stereotypes, or some people don't. I remember Spike Lee confessing to being the embodiment of one stereotype of black men, even though he's spent his life challenging racism.
And the Irish stereotype of all Irish people having poetry in their hearts has never been challenged by any Irish person I've heard, but it's just daft as the thick one.
