All sterotypes are stupid, the people who choose to belive them are stupid.

Everyone are different, don't judge others based on someone else's actions.

Imo, people who think this way fall into the racist category.

All of them are extremely stupid,there is no way that a massive group of hispanic immigrants are like this,someone at least MUST be different.(imo.)

I can't tell about the others because I don't have a overall knowledge about their likes and stuff...
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people

your post shows your lack of understanding of what a stereotype is.
stereotypes are generalisations based on history and culture.

stereotypes like:
-all white south africans are racist, isnt necesarilly untrue because 15 years ago, all white south africans WERE racist. It was part of our government.
-black people like chicken, isnt necesarilly untrue because chicken is affordable and the majority of the people that lived in the ghetto are black.
-chinese eat dogs, because they DID eat dogs. as well as many other animals not normally clasified as food.
etc

All stereotypes have a basis in truth, although often exxagerated, are hardly racist.
sterotyping is nothing more than studying statistics.

it is true that when dealing with an individual, one needs to treat them as such. but as a whole, stereotypes are usually based in truth.
if there is no basis in truth, then its not a stereotype, its an unfounded accusation.

Just the paws.

Certainly they come from somewhere, and nearly every time it's from some truth, some probability. But they may become stretched very far until they're less than true, or no longer true.

I believe in these:

Stereotypes about Asians in USA
*Super polite and subservient (most of the time yes its part of many asians culture)
*They all speak bad engrish (english) (Ofc since most asians doesn't have English as mother tongue)

Stereotypes about Hispanics in America
*They are all from Mexico (ofc since Mexico is just across the boarder from USA a lot of them will be from Mexico)

Stereotypes about Blacks in USA

*Excel in sports that end in "ball" (Basketball)

Stereotypes of Whites in USA

*Socially awkward (yes everyone is somewhat socially awkward to some degree)




Well since you didn't read what he wrote




he said he bolded the ones he never heard of not the ones he believe was true.

The hispanic part i thought hispanic was like north america or if im mistaking south america.

I don't exist
I don't believe in many negative stereotypes but I do believe in the positive ones like women are great cooks, or asians are geniuses, or spanish people love to party.

But some are ridiculous for example at school my friend asked if I had rice for lunch. There are even more wierd and stupid ones like; Asians are born with kung-fu, or Black people talk like bill cosby, Italians look like Mario, And even some of my friends believed everyone in the U.S looked like a contestant on the biggest loser.

So don't believe all the stereotypes you hear, because they could just be trolling you, and you'd look like a dumbass.
