Not necessarily???

Sure, the preps are posh and fake British accents, but Bif and Parker don't. Mind you, all of the preps also have their own distinct personalities, which set them apart from each other. Bif is all about boxing, Gord is a shopaholic, Parker has self-esteem issues, etc. It goes a little deeper than that, doll.

Also, Miss Peters? Sure, she's all about soul music and what not, but she also comes across as a giant hippie who knows how to manipulate people well. She talks more about free love and peace than she does about lovin' down James Brown.

I'm not saying that you cannot enforce some stereotypes, because there are some truths to them. The whole point of the article was focused on ORIGINAL CHARACTERS who had a FOREIGN background. Not about shallow stereotypes the canon characters display off the top of your head ;>
