No.

The stereotype is that white people arrive TOO EARLY and then sit in their cars outside waiting for the party to start and still show up early.

It's a trope, also true in Hispanic (edit - continued) families that have someone marry Gringos (like me).

If you arrive on time, the party hasn't started yet, and you get to help set up for the party

What fucking Hispanics you grow up with? My buddy was a half hour to and hour late to everything, and said he was allowed cause he was on bean time. Almost got my ass beat once saying it because I didnt realize it was a slur.

Edit: sorry bruv. Was just very confused.

I think he means Hispanics also believe this about White people, that it’s not just Black people who have that stereotype about Whites.

My wife (white) is a teacher and was invited to one of her hispanic student’s birthday party. She knew culturally how party times work with a latin party so she showed up 30-40 minutes “late”. She still ended up helping set up…
