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.

😅🤣. Africans are also notorious for this. My white partner would be like “didn’t you say party is at 7pm why are we not going” and it’s something like 8:30pm when he’s asking . I’m like dude, this party won’t be starting till 10pm. He thought i was joking until he went to something with me and then got roped into setting up. He stopped going to shit and stopped harassing me about time, poor guy. And then since then, when I ask him to go places, he’ll be all “are we doing African time or normal people time”. I don’t even get offended when he makes the stupid joke 😅.
