Tell me about stereotypes.

[DestFinis]

This can include social stereotypes and racial stereotypes, and pretty much anything else you can think of. What are the common stereotypes? What can we do to reduce stereotypes in our societies?

[eppy]

Emo is a big stereotype. Wearing black and eye liner seems like the minimum needed to be called emo.

Common ones that I can think of: Jews are cheap Blacks eat friend chicken, watermelon, and enjoy malt liquor Whites have no butts and can't dance Asians can't drive and replace the l sound with an r sound Women can't drive Muslims are terrorists Arabs are muslims Anyone darker than white, but not black is Mexican Mexicans are lazy Gays like the musical theatre and have the best style Lesbians wear flannel shirts and drive pickup trucks Christians hate homosexuals and believe in creationism The french are stuckup Americans are rednecks Asians all know kung fu Asians have small penises Blacks have large penises Blacks are always looking for a mugging victim Southerners are gun nuts The way to get rid of these stereotypes is for people to stop being so damn sensitive to them. Learning to laugh at yourself and realize that people make racist jokes that are just jokes is good for society. No one gets offended when Lisa Lamponelli makes some of the most racist jokes I've ever heard because everyone knows that they are just jokes.

All stereotypes are the same. hahaha But seriously... I can't see 'list the stereotypes' going well.

[Jeff777]

Christians hate homosexuals and believe in creationism This is no more a stereotype than me saying every blade of grass is a shade of green. Southerners are gun nuts I live in Mississippi and I'm glad you cited this as a stereotype because I'm tired of people thinking Southerners (especially Mississippian's) are gun-slinging drunkards. If anyone else says any differently they can argue that "stereotype" with the barrel of my rifle...or challenge me to a beer drinking competition.

[Corpse]

I agree with ninja, they are simply just stereotypes and are meant as a simple joke. I don't ever understand why people are always so sensitive to them. =S

Is it true that Mississippians also beat their wives/sisters? Or is that just another southern stereotype

[Jeff777]

Is it true that Mississippians also beat their wives/sisters? Or is that just another southern stereotype Only when they got it coming to them. No that's horrible...lol.

[Universal Mind]

Is it true that Mississippians also beat their wives/sisters? Sex with your sister is best after a good fight.

Apparently white people smell like wet dog.

[Oneironaut Zero]

Apparently white people smell like wet dog. Lmfao. Were you watching Comedy Central last night? If so, that stand-up comic was pretty damn funny.

Puerto Ricans can dangle from steel bars for hours on end Peruvians always swoop in and save the day, and shoot laser beams from their eyes (the onion movie)

[guitarboy]

Musicians are junkies

Lmfao. Were you watching Comedy Central last night? If so, that stand-up comic was pretty damn funny. Actually no, although I do love to watch stand-up. I first heard this one a couple years ago from my social psych professor, believe it or not. Oh and another stereotype that you hear a lot here in OK is that all Indians (Native Americans) are alcoholics and/or addicted to meth.

[Jhony]

How about Indians owning Casinos.

When you get old you're legally obligated to watch the news, move to Florida, vote republican, and wear pants that come up to at least your naval.

[Grod]

I don't get this one. ??

[Jhony]

I don't get this one. ?? She is very skiny, wearing tight clothes, a redneck, and a blondie. She's a whore, stereotype made.

[DestFinis]

You guys aren't really helping with the pictures. I guess I pretty much made a pointless topic. Let's redeem this. Have you guys ever been the victim of stereotypes? Obviously, somebody has to go through with one in their lives. Thanks to those who contributed.

Obviously, somebody has to go through with one in their lives. Thanks to those who contributed. I'm Asian. And yes I've been through them. And you know what, here's a stereotype I'm proud of: Asians are super smart. And living in a poor state in a poor educated school, I feel quite good for myself.
