Do you believe that every goth is constantly sad and satanistic?
That every football player/cheerleader has a ball/lipgloss instead of a brain?
That God is Afro-American? (that one's actually true same goes with Jesus... go and watch american movies if you don't believe me!)
That every politician will just make it worse?
That every Aussie talks like "g'day, mate, bloody hell" all the time?
That every woman LOVES to go shopping?
That every man can't live without TV and beer?
That Irish are always drunk?


Do YOU believe in stereotypes?

some do, most not

hell ya I believe in stereotypes...it's the way the world is.

Anyone here who pretends to be an angel who doesn't stereotype in one way or another is probably just flat out lying.

some of those arent sterotypes...like the aussies thing...alot of them talk that way because its part of their culture

I play both football and cheer
That part is not necessarily true, they say that Jesus must have been darker than depicted.
Don't know many politicains, more like zero
I heard some of them speak like that, but then again I say "eh" all the time
I LOVE to go shopping
Don't know any Irish, and you don't have to be Irish to get drunk

And like yerss said, some work some don't

I was unaware of any stereotype that involved God or Jesus being black. Where have you heard these? And what do american movies have to do with that idea?

football as in soccer or american football?

Does it really matter?

I would think the stereotype would be that Jesus or God is WHITE...

football as in american footbal, yerss

Calvin: oh... 'bruce almighty' for instance.. i can't tell you more now it's 11pm down here and my brain doesn't work.

I racially stereotype people. Not on purpose but it happens. If I were to walk down a dark alley and see about 5 black guys hanging out in there, I am getting the hell out of there.

most stereotypes are not true

well it's not aobut the things that i mentioned in my firt post but to get the general idea: do you believe in stereotypes. i don't... BUT the fact taht god is black. That's true.

lol

I try not to beleive in stereotypes, but they are so engrained into our society that its kinda hard to escape them...

*tackles fire*

what for?

whether u admit or not practical everybody gets stereotyped or has steroetyped....i got stereotyped sometimes when i play ball with the brothers...they thought i couldnt play coz i was white..they were wrong...

they mentioned american football

true, but wuta it aint becuase you do it that you believe in it

okie

*slaps yerss*

I play both footballs though
And they don't mention God being black, but Jesus was indeed darker skinned than a white person, he grew up in the desert didn't he, obviously he would be tanned.

I think god is a lil asian 20 year old girl looking so f*cking hot

get help fire

I believe stereotypes apply to the majority or at least SOME of the people, however I think it's wrong to take them for granted and judge others by that.
Better wait and see for yourself if they apply or not

God loves reggae! And wears brightly colored shirts and plays the drums..

Go Vampiree!

*tackles vampiree* footbaaaaaaaahl!

nono

why should I, I dont even believe in god

*throws yerss off herself and runs with TEH ball*

still who says he doesnt look like a human?

The bible says he looks human
If we are made in his images, I'm pretty sure he looks at least somewhat like us

Fire is in big doodoo now

*runs after vampiree* my ball! my own! my preciousssss

This, ladies and gentlemen, would be god.

Socially speaking stereotypes are on both sides equally, thats why there are wars.. we assume the bad guy iis our enemy because all the bad things everyone says. We all got em and will always retain em.

you forgot: That asians always carry a camera or know karate.

Ok Stereotypes.
No, I tend not to stereotype a lot, but as a whole, we all steretype! Thats how we identify world arround us, by stereotyping. Not in the way you described in the first post...not that kind of stereotyping.

Its not something you cant help, we all do it.

Unfortunately as much as I hate to admit it, I used to believe them. Luckily that was when I was younger, and just thought what my mother thought. But now I can push myself away from thoughts like that, and stay as open minded as possible

uumm i don't think i do. but i might

Sure you do B, think about the mormons...or just Jen for example

Stereotypes by definitino are an untrue perception of a whole based on overly-publicized actions. They can be really funny, but most often untrue

Most stereotypes are true. If they weren't then why would they even be stereotypes? Because every person see's most of a certain type of people a certain way. Of course this doesn't mean there aren't exceptions to stereotypes. If a person says "all of these types of people are this way" then that of course doesn't mean ALL. They just mean the vast majority, which is usually what a stereotype is.

Most goths I've seen are indeed sad and often flaunting their shallow forced depression. Of course not all are this way, but most certainly are.

Most women do love shopping.

These are just a few examples of stereotypes that are usually true. Like it or not, that's how it is.

I don't believe in the steroetype "women are not good drivers" no2

a big part of why stereotypes continue is because the 'victims' of stereotypes tend to use reverse or alternate stereotypes to deflect attention away from themselves, rather than to form conclusive comprehensive arguments against the stereotypical label they are branded with...

like, for example, if Evy O had defended her last statement thusly:

'I dont believe in the stereotype "women are not good drivers".. I mean we all know old people are horrible drivers, but not women!'...

But, seeing as how Evy O did NOT stoop to such an argument, I believe there is hope for all that stereotyping can be overcome!

Evy rocks! (not a stereotype of all things Evy-related, just a general statement in this one particular case...)

well you cant really beleive in steryotypes, its not something you beleive in, its just sort of what yo picture. but it's always half an half, like the dorks at our school are so steryotypical, but the popular ppl arent, u know how on movies pop. ppl r so up themselves, and so bitchy, but im in tha pop group and were not at all!

Yerss:EEEK!!! *runs* you won't get it!!! IT'S MINE!!! MY BALL!!
Storm: drool Boreanaz.....

oh yeah... and that one with asians knowing karate

OMG DAVID BOREANAZ!!!!! drool drool drool drool drool drool drool drool drool

Do you believe that every goth is constantly sad and satanistic? No, I have a goth friend and she is not constantly sad.
That every football player/cheerleader has a ball/lipgloss instead of a brain? No
That every politician will just make it worse? No
That every Aussie talks like "g'day, mate, bloody hell" all the time? No
That every woman LOVES to go shopping? NOOOO
That every man can't live without TV and beer? Noo
That Irish are always drunk? Nooo

You're right, I was going to say that I don't like shopping but I do, I like to buy books and go to libraries to see the books I'm going to buy some day...

Funny... but SO true

That's not a stereotpye, it's just sexist

It's also true for the most part.

I dont sterotype people simpy because is just not me to do things like that. i know I said some things in the past that were very stereotypical but that was just my reactions. my husband usualy gets stereotypical. Thats because he works with hispanics alot. i think that people become stereotypical when they daily life involves a certain culture.

well, i always think of asians as smart but i know a couple really stupid ones.

and blonds as dumb, but they all tell me i have those blond moments and i have brown hair.

^i'm blond and i don't think i'm stupid. that's another stereotype.

Blondes are not dumb! There are dumb blondes, yes, but so are brunettes, brown-haired etc...



Well, sexist attitude is caused by sex discrimination, which is, per definition, stereotyping... (among other things).

yeah! I'm red and I'm dumb!

Red?
Yes, yes you are

retardedly dumb!

....And mots of anothers stereotypes are...

Certainty is relative.

Be a skeptical and you will find the true

LOL I get that one all the time!

Seriously, Stereotypes exists everywhere. I see no point in them. I always believe in "don't judge without knowing the person".

DUH!!!!!!yes i do!everyone posses some qualities of a stereotype!!!!!
i know i do...

huh?

dat alles wa ge weet susbjectief is, ge ziet nie hetzelfde als de andere en geschiedenis wordt geschreve door de overwinnaars

(too lazy to get it in english)

I knew that but that's not what I ment

than what did you mean?

What 'susbjectief ' means?

Most of the time, no. But in the case of the jocks, that would be true.

stereotypes are silly. i am john, plain and simple. call me what you want, but i am john.

what about italians? apperantly we're all either in the mafia, or somehow connected!! .. that may be true BUT! we're not as obsessed as people say we are about food!.. we're more than obsessed, and i'm understating it.. just come over to my dad's place and you'll know what i'm talking about.. i hope you wouldnt mind being woken up at 3:30 am by my dad offering to make pasta and 5 other courses ..

Some people conform to their stereotype. They are labelled as something by others and then become like that-its a shame.

it means subjective

it means nothing, due to wanting to type too fast, it's spelled wrong

crap I didn't notice the typo

Thanks

Asians are smarter. I am convinced that they are a superior race.

Eeek, look what I found

^that's very true

So following your theory, most Americans are fat and stupid?

basic fact lil bit

yeah i believe in quite a few but hey wouldn't wanna offend any1 lol

Talk about racist stereotyping.... For shame.


Got to get Tea... Brb.

But seriously... "We are gods people....must destroy Satan..." represents Republican America more than the Middle East.

Well both Jews and Muslims think they are gods chosen people, oh and yes the Christians too.

But the US IS Satan.

I just think you're a big racist who needs their head seeing to... The middle east wasn't causing any trouble to the west until America (and to a certain extent Britain) Waltzed in there with their superiority complex and ****ed with their way of life. So yeah... The US probably is Satan to them...

I'm not a racist........weep

This thread really says otherwise... It looks as if you made most of those "Stereotypes" up on the spot, I've never heard half of them... Makes me question what was going on in your head when posting.

Don't pick on Deb, it's the heroine in her talking.

Do YOU believe in stereotypes?

Hmmm...to a certain extent. Some people do match the stereotypes...but not everyone does....

'That every Aussie talks like "g'day, mate, bloody hell" all the time?'

^ Haha ^-^...this is a good example. Sure, a lot of Aussies use those words, but I don't use em *shakes no*

I don't think anyone does?jm

But the fact is the things she said aren't even acknowledged stereotypes. I mean who thinks that a stereotype of an American is someone does it if it feels good, what happened to the stereotype of a junk food eating fatso that we all know and love? And since when are the Japanese stressed?

The thing is the things said by Deb are not stereotypes they're just racist remarks.

Hey spoonly had no idea you are on!What english steretypes do they use in england?jm

What do you mean?

What stereotypes do the English have or what Stereotypes do we hold of other people?

What do you hold on other english people or american.jm

We don't really hold any stereotypes about the english, except for chavs and shit. The American stereotype is overweight, stupid and obsessed with terrorism.
