Stereotypes..

[Black Angel]

You've heard them.. All irish people are drunks, all jews cheap, all blacks steal.. all gays are child-molesters.. etc.. Do you think that some stereotypes are true? Why or Why not?

[MaranX]

lol, I thought that my nation is drunk and steals. Yeah, this depends very often on judging the person we meet.

Yeh, im black, so it is offensive to me

[Black Angel]

This wasn't about whether or not you think they are offensive, this was a question of if you think that some stereotypes are true.

i think it is more true than i would like. i stereo type on the internet. thats why i like to find out about my cyber buddys. so i woudn't be serprized of new info. and see it from there point of veiw.

if you don't think you stereo type then answer this. what do i look and sound like to you when you read this?

Stereotyping= Prejudice
Prejudice= Discrimination
Discrimination= People getting hurt

Stereotyping is soooooo stupid... Stereotyping is putting someone in a group with other people that have their own social status... If i got called a nerd... I'd fell sorry for the person who said it... And there we go... Prejudice= People getting hurt... Even i agree with that... I do my best not to stereotype... But if i do, i keep it in my head...

My point as stated here.

I'm too lazy to re-post it..

Well many of the stereotypes are true. I'm sad to say it, but there are many that are not. However, you shouldn't sterotype just because they seem true.

Some stereotypes are true... I'm really sorry Sae but i cannot beleive you just said that! Stereotyping is used on countrys or something huge... Yet i doubt that in the 2 billion odd people who live in Britian are all posh... I doubt that the whole population of America are fat and idiotic, i doubt that all blacks are theives.

See this is stereotypes.... it's uncalled for!

[+ Dictator]

No, no. You misunderstood me, there are many sterotypes that are true. For example popular students are egotistic jerks. For the most part from what I see at my school it's true, I'm sorry if I offended anyone but it's what I see. Because from the way those people act it creates a stereotype. Also I wasn't implying Brittish people are posh, American's are fat and idiotic, and that black people steal. First off, I know this because I've learned things about Brittish history, and their people, I've had many black friends and none project that type of behavior, and I'm American and most Americans I know aren't fat and idiotic.

What you're looking at are major stereotypes. Most major stereotypes aren't true but if you look at the minor ones, the ones from schools, the one from almost anywhere that are seen as stereotypes but aren't recognized as much are true. At least that's my opinion because I haven't seen the other 90 percent of the world.
