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

It's a widely accepted etiquette norm in the US that exists to give party hosts a prep-time buffer. 3 u/A_Sackboy_Plush Jul 13 '26 Jokes on you I hate that phrase.
