This is according to this video report from The Street (via Insanely Great Mac and The Unofficial Apple Weblog).
The assertions made by this report include the following: Mac users more likely to use teeth-whitening products; Mac users bought on average five new pairs of sneakers in the last year; More likely to buy organic food; More likely to frequent Starbucks; More likely to own a hybrid car; Mac users are perfectionists; Prefer to drive station wagons; More likely to pay for downloaded music.
To me, this report is pretty funny. I hardly resemble any of the characterizations above or in the report. (I'll let you sort out which ones you think I am.)
But, I will not stand for this painting of a broad brush of all Mac users. There is too much discrimination going on in this country right now. Can't I stand on my own merits? Does the computer that I use determine the person I am and how you should treat me? I think not. I will not stand for this. I am a Mac, and I'm proud of it! YAY!

Hmm. I am a Mac and I buy organic food. But I disagree with the judgment. Peace! :-)
Having fiddled around with my sons Mac, I have to admit it is a great machine and when I finally decide that I can pull myself away from my antique D*ll desktop, I have been convinced to go Mac--heck I may even start buying organic food, though I draw the line at a station wagon, I am holding out for a hot little two seater convertible :)
Good grief. Stereotypes abound!
Not me...
A sob, who, me? Oh my, I must ponder this assertion while I’m out buying my SIXTH pair of sneakers, and while I guzzling my Starbucks Latte. I guess some people can’t stand seeing Mac uses enjoying the highlife. They need download some soothing music on an iPod and chill out.
