zoony Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 The other thread got me thinking- what are some safe stereotypes in your opinion? Stereotypes that either you really believe to have merit... OR... are for some reason viewed as politically correct by society that you have no problem throwing out there? i.e. White guys can't dance, or the lower back tattoo means a girl is easy, men are pigs, people who live in TN are ignorant, people who live in California are flakes, etc. Let's hear 'em.

TorresA Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 And I guess the larger question- why are some okay and some not? Who gets to decide? 1) If the stereotype is a good trait then many times it may be overlooked... asians are good in math Not many Asians will come out and say i am Asian and dumb as a rock, although there will be someone will always complain, even if it doesn't effect them. 2) If the person in question doesn't care ... i.e. White guys can't dance Not many white guys will come out and make an uproar, Hey I can dance I learned everything Vanilla Ice ever did. 3) It is true.... Philly fans are trashCowboy fans are ghey Giant fans are stooooopid Skins fans are the best at sex and the most awesome of all Enough said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazye Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Black people are more athletic. Irish people drink a lot. Gay people are more promiscuous than straight people. :ahhhhh: These all broad stereotypes, we all know lots of black nerds, irish teetotalers, and straight whores.

Ax Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 If you don't believe homosexuality is "normal" behavior, you're labeled a homophobe. All southerners are Forrest Gump. All black people can dance good. All rich people are snobs. Blonds have more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USS Redskins Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 When I lived by myself a group of Mexicans moved into the apartment above me. Every single stereotype you can think of was going in in that apt. 15 people in one room, Mexican music playing (with the horns and guitars), they all worked for a landscaping company and worked like 12 hr days. I never saw it myself but I heard they had **** fights in the utility shed in the back of the complex. The biggest benefit was that the bushes outside the bldg never looked better! They were a nice group and other than the loud music sometimes they didnt bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xameil Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 mexicans are extremely hard workers see around me the stereotype is Mexicans are NOT hard workers...but then again neither are the Puerto Ricans. Asians can't drive Asians always have a camera on them pierced tongue girl is easy, loves oral, is bi-sexual Religious people are closed minded and reject all science says Jewish people are cheap OK I'll think of more later... I don't think stereotypes are good at all. Yeah I've been guilty of em, and I also think some of em are damn funny. But as I said before, I hope I have learned enough through my travels to stop stereotyping people....unless its meant for a joke and the person is a friend of mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
