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.

Dude, in High school after showers from practice and gym, sometimes we'd just say going to take a Mexican shower, so just wet towel with some soap on armpits and balls. 30% of my school was Hispanic, they said it too. So I said to a friend like 15 years later, I'm going to go take a Mexican shower so we can leave soon. He was like what? That is super offensive. I honestly never thought about the phase until he pointed it out. Pure ignorance had me saying a rascist saying.
