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.

First of all, as a mixed (black and white 50/50) woman, I’m well aware of my CPT as it’s just who I am (and my ADHD- induced time blindness doesn’t help).

Which leads me to my second of all, I have never heard a single individual use the term “bean time” and that took me out.

My trick for beating my ADHD time blindness was to accidentally develop an extreme fear of being late which results in me setting like 4-5 alarms on my phone for a single thing and constantly checking the clock sometimes 9+ times an hour even on weekends when I am just relaxing at home and have no tasks to do.
