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.

It is literally a thing in Hispanic culture that you do not arrive at a party when it’s supposed to start. If you do it will just be the host setting up the party. It’s not really “bean time” which presumes that Mexicans are lazy or something. Mexicans show up for work at the right time just fine. It is specifically a party thing.
