Stereotypes.

[bobboy]

Lets discuss em. Idc how but imma start off with the Asians and the Blacks.

1. The bad driving.
Huh? Since when were Asians such bad drivers? How did people come to this conclusion? The only thing we Asians do is speed. And speed we shall.

2. The penis thing.
Seriously. This is one that I am tired of. How the heck did they come to this conclusion? Did someone make it up for self-pity? Did someone bust into houses and look? And I don't mean this in an offensive way, and correct me if I'm wrong but, doesn't it seem all the penile problem medication are directed toward the White men?

3. The talking
I can see how people came to the conclusion that Asians talk like Ching Chong Blah blah, but must people slow down when talking to us? Very annoying.

4. And of course, we all look the same
What is up with this one? Look at an animated show. Any one that is non-Asian origin and look at the Asian characters. Repeat for another non-Asian origin cartoon thingy. They look exactly the same! Okay, they are kinda different but very similar! What is up with that? I seriously don't know how people got this one. Tsk.

----------------------- To the Blacks

1. Chicken
So what. They sometimes are poor. But they don't eat chicken 24/7 jeez.

2. Watermelons
Uh, seriously. Watermelons?

3. Waffles
Huh?

4. The "civilized" ones are gay.
What really started this one. They're not all ghetto. There are the rich and civilized. Jeez.


Okay so I didn't cover Blacks that much. I just had to blow off steam from daily life. Do so here, post stereotype annoyances, and discuss here!

[laineter]

What do you mean by this thread? do you to discuss about the culture of other countries? In my opinion other culture or other countries have there own best to know who they are and what they are in to. I met some of them and I think they are pretty kind and nice. :D

[DragonPaladin]

1. The bad driving.
Huh? Since when were Asians such bad drivers? How did people come to this conclusion? The only thing we Asians do is speed. And speed we shall.

I'm assuming this is because most Asians (such as me) wear glasses, and this conveys and impression that Asians can not see way, therefore, they are bad drivers.

2. The penis thing.
Seriously. This is one that I am tired of. How the heck did they come to this conclusion? Did someone make it up for self-pity? Did someone bust into houses and look? And I don't mean this in an offensive way, and correct me if I'm wrong but, doesn't it seem all the penile problem medication are directed toward the White men?

For this one, I have frankly have no idea. I thought I remembered a study mentioned on Wikipedia that mentioned that the above idea had some merit, but since I am not able to find it, that must remain unverified.

3. The talking
I can see how people came to the conclusion that Asians talk like Ching Chong Blah blah, but must people slow down when talking to us? Very annoying

I have not had this problem anywhere whatsoever. Of course, I was born in Arizona and have lived in America my entire life. Therefore, people have no reason to believe (when I start talking) that I might not be able to understand rapid English. I suppose it comes from the idea that if you speak accented English, you must not have been raised in America, therefore it may be hard for you to understand rapid English.

4. And of course, we all look the same
What is up with this one? Look at an animated show. Any one that is non-Asian origin and look at the Asian characters. Repeat for another non-Asian origin cartoon thingy. They look exactly the same! Okay, they are kinda different but very similar! What is up with that? I seriously don't know how people got this one. Tsk.

Because most people do not come in contact with large groups of Asians for a extended period of time, it may be difficult for them to understand how to tell them apart and what characterstics to use (besides the obvious). I frankly have no problem telling Asians, whites, or blacks apart, but I suppose others may. Also, cartoons often have a habit of trying to entertain an audience, therefore, this reference might be purposeful.

[bobboy]

Laineter, i mean to discuss prejudice :-o.

I see your explanations Dragon, but I don't wear glasses. *snap snap snap*. Also, I was born n raised in Philly, PA. Yet they still talk slow.

Ppl. Feel free to post annoyances :P. Don't just read mine.

Why do you think it is appropriate to propagate your stereotype in a joking manner? How does that help anything?

[B.A.Baracus]

I hate to say it, but majority of stereotypes are true. Just be proud of who you are and what defines your culture.
Unless your a Frenchmen.

1)auto accidents kill 250,000 a year in China
http://www.asianresearch.org/articles/2367.html
thats pretty straight forward

2) I have no clue, but I'm sure its just a random guess

3) Honestly, most Asian people I've spoken with speak English poorly with a extremely thick accent, I also usually have to repeat myself several times, because they state they don't understand. After enough people have this experience... it becomes a stereo-type

4)To sheep I am sure other sheep appear different

Japan most notably cut itself off from the rest of the world for quite a few years, well that doesn't leave much room for the gene pool to grow, so they end up all looking the same.


Am I trying to anger you, no, do I feel this way, no not really. I am simply discussing your points.

You've never seen Asian porn, apparently. I've never seen an Asian man in them with a bigger penis than mine. You just think the medication's aimed towards white people, and even if it is, it's only because it's impossible for anyone but white people to be racist in America so they must avoid racism lawsuits.

To the uninitiated, all Asians look the same. I'm sure all white people look the same to you.

1. Chicken
So what. They sometimes are poor. But they don't eat chicken 24/7 jeez.

It's more an issue of preference of taste than money. Chicken isn't the cheapest thing in the world. It does, however, taste really good.

2. Watermelons
Uh, seriously. Watermelons?

See above.

3. Waffles
Huh?

Never heard of this stereotype before.

4. The "civilized" ones are gay.
What really started this one. They're not all ghetto. There are the rich and civilized. Jeez.

Never heard this stereotype before.

Living in northern Florida in the city with the highest crime rate in the state, I come into contact with a lot of stereotypes. I can truthfully say that while there are sometimes a bit of truth to them, I've seen many people of other ethnicities doing/eating the same.

[Duddits]

Here's one.

Red heads have fire crotches!? WTF IS THIS? Just becuase it is orange like colored sdoesn't meean it is like FIRE FUCKING ORANGE. They arecurly, sure, but isn't everyones?

Personal experience, brother. Unless it is shaved, it's like a curly field of bright orange grass.

-blink- Ever heard the one about red headed women being absolutly insanly horny blah balh?

[Calibur]

Here's one

-Full blooded Americans have the worst Spanish accents, seriously it sound like they're talking with a lolypop stuck in their mouths.



1. The bad driving.

I've heard of that one but it involved old people rather than Asians.

I have no clue about this food sterotype of Africans. Someone enlighting me.

One Sterotype that i absoulutley hate is the "Commie" sterotype. One of my friend does it, and i dont even think he understands that Commies arent bad. The communist party of Russia and China were actually good, they tried to help the poor and make sure everybody was on the same economic block.

Example:
Mao Zendong promised farmers that each farmer will recieve a equal share in there own land if they joined the Communist Party to help fight off the Nationalist in China. In the end, he kept this promise. Some Landowners would not accept the reform and were killed with his land being divided for peasents.

Just because the US supported the wrong side during the Civil War in china, does not mean Commies are bad.

Or the "Asians are short" thing. I'm 5'8 for a 14 year old, and i'm as tall as most upper-class men in my school. My brothers 6'3 (Or taller) and he's taller than most of his classmates in College. (Or i assume. =p)

I have never met any asian that was in the height range of 4'8 - 5'5 expect for one in my entire life.

You're also American. You ever been to Japan? It's odd being one of the tallest people walking down the street.

[IrishDutchman]

2. The penis thing.

Actually, it's true that Asian dicks are smaller on average. In India people are complaining because condoms are too big for most men.
I have to go to school, but I'll look for an article some time.

4. And of course, we all look the same

That doesn't onmly count for Asians. You see, it's also vise versa. Black people can't recognise whities, whities can't tell the difference between two blacks. It's just the case that people are less skilles at telling apart people with different ethnic backgrounds.

[Black.Ice]

Asians, bad drivers? Pfft.

I offer this video as proof. Here's a summary: Busy Indian street. No traffic signal. More scooters, bikes, auto-rikshaws and cycles then you can count. Not a single accident, but it's all moving in chaotic-harmony. If this was America, you'd have a dozen accidents, road-rage + fifteen ambulances caring for the wounded, backed up traffic for miles, a handful of cop-cars giving tickets and construction.

We're telepathic; we know how to drive.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjrEQaG5jPM


As for the others, I really don't have comments other then stereotypes suck. Especially when you've experienced first-hand the discrimination that comes from them.

EDIT: About the penis thing, yeah, it's been on the news lately. The figures are a little over 50% of the 1,000 people surveyed have smaller ones. Surely, 1,000 men can't be an accurate sample of over 500 million men. Even so, what about the other 50%? That's still 250,000,000 people, almost the population of the US that have same, if not bigger, sizes.

Plus, even if us Indians have small penises, we know how to use them. Fastest growing population + we invented all that tantric kamasutra sex crap for fun. C'mon, we improvise. ;)

[KexMex]

SWEDEN HAS NO POLAR BEARS WHATSOEVER!

And not everyone here is blonde, either.

[Zenox]

Well since this discussion is open let me blow some of my steam: "Ahem"
Why is it that when someone mentions "Beirut" it's usually to point out a heavily war torn destroyed beat up place?!?

We have wars ok but at least we fight our own battles on our land.. not take our problems abroad like others do..:mad:
On a second note Lebanon isn't an Arab country it's Oriental we besides what's with associating Arabs to knuckle blocks that love to kill each other and have little or non technological advancements???

The reason that doesn't work in america (aka: the "U.S.") is because most americans are waaay too impatient. This is a "hop in the car, get to the appointment asap and curse at every red trafic light on the way. If people just slowed down, showed some courtesy, and weren't talking on phones while eating breakfast while drinking coffie while changing their cloths, then I'm sure the US could function just as well.


what's with associating Arabs to knuckle blocks that love to kill each other and have little or non technological advancements???

Two words: Global Media. If you were to travel to any major country (US, Britan, France, etc) all you'd hear about is the attacks and fighting. Every single newcast of the day touches on at least one thing that happens over there. Thus people get the mindset that these things happen all the time and thus Arabs are barbarians.

[JoshisaNoob]

1. The bad driving.
Huh? Since when were Asians such bad drivers? How did people come to this conclusion? The only thing we Asians do is speed. And speed we shall.

No idea... Idk that I've heard this one, actually.

2. The penis thing.
Seriously. This is one that I am tired of. How the heck did they come to this conclusion? Did someone make it up for self-pity? Did someone bust into houses and look? And I don't mean this in an offensive way, and correct me if I'm wrong but, doesn't it seem all the penile problem medication are directed toward the White men?

The arrogant white men figure that penis size is more important than intelligence, since America is all about sex. Since Asians are smarter, they have to find a way to feel less inferior. (I'm white btw)

3. The talking
I can see how people came to the conclusion that Asians talk like Ching Chong Blah blah, but must people slow down when talking to us? Very annoying.

It's like when people slow down when talking to blind people...they think if they can't see, they must be slow. I guess people assume that accents mean that you're just learning english or something.

4. And of course, we all look the same
What is up with this one? Look at an animated show. Any one that is non-Asian origin and look at the Asian characters. Repeat for another non-Asian origin cartoon thingy. They look exactly the same! Okay, they are kinda different but very similar! What is up with that? I seriously don't know how people got this one. Tsk.

I can tell specific nationalities by looks and by last name.(i.e. Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc..) Just a stupid justification for laziness.

----------------------- To the Blacks

1. Chicken
So what. They sometimes are poor. But they don't eat chicken 24/7 jeez.

Black people really do love chicken. I live in the Atl suburbs....it's true xD

2. Watermelons
Uh, seriously. Watermelons?

You have a picnic with all the cats on ya' block. Get you some fried chicken, watermelon, and Kool-Aid.

3. Waffles
Huh?

No idea xD

4. The "civilized" ones are gay.
What really started this one. They're not all ghetto. There are the rich and civilized. Jeez.

Bill Cosby once said that black kids feel like it's "too white to be successful." But there are those who break away from that mentality.
------------------------

I'll talk about my "race". I'm 1/4 Puerto Rican, 1/4 Swedish, and the rest is white I think. (My dad was adopted, so Idk much about his side.) I look, and consider myself, white.

White people are so commonly prejudiced against SOME other race. I don't understand this... White people weren't even the first ethnicity in America. They have no right to feel superior. Let's go back in history. Where do you see white people accomplishing anything noteworthy before the 1600's or even 1700's? Nowhere... it was all other races. It's pure ignorance for white people to think they are better than other races.

Especially the current generation of white people. 90% of white teens have no idea what's going on in the world. Actually, 90% of white teens have no idea what's going on outside their own little worlds. It makes me so mad.

[GenocideAlive]

As much as I hate weighing in on such an obvious idiot's thread, I figure that I'll spare some of you the thought of him actually having some idea as to what he's talking about.

1. The bad driving. Huh? Since when were Asians such bad drivers? How did people come to this conclusion? The only thing we Asians do is speed. And speed we shall.
So wait, you shouldn't stereotype Asians as bad drivers, you should stereotype them as speeders. Bad driver = not OK, speeder = OK. Don't try to draw any relative connection between the two, just accept that one stereotype is OK while the other is not.
2. The penis thing. Seriously. This is one that I am tired of. How the heck did they come to this conclusion? Did someone make it up for self-pity? Did someone bust into houses and look? And I don't mean this in an offensive way, and correct me if I'm wrong but, doesn't it seem all the penile problem medication are directed toward the White men?
Oh, so no stereotypes for the Asians, just the white people. I'd be offended if I weren't basically the target of every minority group's angst around the world. But no, son, Erectile Dysfunction doesn't mean you have a little dick, it means that you can't get the one you have erect.
3. The talking I can see how people came to the conclusion that Asians talk like Ching Chong Blah blah, but must people slow down when talking to us? Very annoying.
I hardly think that everybody that sees an Asian starts slowing down their speech. If some ignorant hobo does it once out of 50 times you talk to someone, you hardly have room to bitch about it.
4. And of course, we all look the same What is up with this one? Look at an animated show. Any one that is non-Asian origin and look at the Asian characters. Repeat for another non-Asian origin cartoon thingy. They look exactly the same! Okay, they are kinda different but very similar! What is up with that? I seriously don't know how people got this one. Tsk.
You cannot seriously think that having black hair and slanted eyes is going to give you a ton of variety. White people are accustomed to having brown, black, blonde, red, and all the colors in between as hair colors. Eyebrows also tend to change colors or be of varying shades. Skin tones also vary wildly with the degree that each person tans. White people also have blue, green, brown, and varying shades of eyes. Asians, again, have brown/black. So when white people see Asians, what do you think? We're going to see how black hair, brown eyes, black eyebrows, and slanted eyes makes for variety? Let's face it, Asians aren't exactly a rainbow.

It'd be a lot more pointed if you had something besides cliches to rant about.

[Neo]

I've seen, and I swear to god, a red-headed asian (I believe he was from Japan) -- and I don't mean he was just slightly red-headed, I mean, it was almsot a fire red hair color.

Probably one of the oddest person I'd seen, heh.

This thread seems kind of strange at any rate. The only figures I've seen on Penis Size seems to mention that the average length is 1/4 of an inch smaller in asian countries, then in western. Which is hardly enough to claim they have tiny members.

Whats odd in this thread is theres this discussion about asians having small penises, yet no mention about the whole Blacks have giant penises.

-Kupa

[IrishDutchman]

he arrogant white men figure that penis size is more important than intelligence, since America is all about sex. Since Asians are smarter, they have to find a way to feel less inferior.

...Yes. America is all about sex, all Dutch people do is bone hookers and smoke weed, and Japan has more dojos than pregnant women.
While we're at it, there isn't a single clean armpit in France, and German rivers are 30% beer with schnitzels and brattwurst floating in 'em.

[Ktan]

I find the stereotypes about the British having bad teeth and posh accents rather amusing. Especially when there's so many different and interesting accents around this entire country. There's an accent for almost every city (and then some) in a country with such a relatively small land mass.

One person I know has really quite nice teeth and a distinctive (and rather likeable) accented twang (which I have been unable to 'place', so to speak) at the end of her voice and is basically is the epitome of why I'm so glad that stereotype is further off the mark then a drunk trying to urinate into a can of baked beans.

[Darmago]

[DragonPaladin]

auto accidents kill 250,000 a year in China
I'm sorry, but did anyone mention that China also has about 4-5 times more people? Take the US accidental-related death toll, multiple by five and trust me, it makes perfect sense.


In the United States, nearly 44,000 people die each year from transportation-related crashes.

Some might argue, well 44000 *5(220000) doesn't go over 250,000, now does it? Now the thing you have to realize is there are WAY more pedestrians in China than cars. And more pedestrians mean more possibility for accidents.

Mao Zendong promised farmers that each farmer will recieve a equal share in there own land if they joined the Communist Party to help fight off the Nationalist in China. In the end, he kept this promise. Some Landowners would not accept the reform and were killed with his land being divided for peasents.

I'm sorry, but I suppose we ignore whose land it was in the first place and simply take it from the landlord. I don't think anyone in the US would like it if the government comandeered your house and gave it to a bunch of homeless people, now would they?

Also, during the Cultural Revolutions, thousands of intellectuals in China were killed or sent to work in labor camps. The destruction of the educated class was partially the reason for China's weakened state. University students, instead of pursuing an education, ended up working in fields. This set China back about 10 years or so technologically.

[DragonPaladin]

I've seen, and I swear to god, a red-headed asian (I believe he was from Japan) -- and I don't mean he was just slightly red-headed, I mean, it was almsot a fire red hair color.

Most likely dye. Which brings me to another point. I hope Asians stop dying their hair black. Often times, they don't it right, which makes it look like some ungodly red/black smörgåsbord. When I see it, I cringe. I cringe hard.

Emos: Either kill your self in an effective manner or stop whining, all in all "grow some"


It's not that I dislike people that dress in all black, it's the matter that they think I care about their problems and am willing to cry and bitch about it with them.

Punks: Anarchy isn't fun, stop pretending that it is, sure the government has problems, but its a lot better than anarchy.

The funny thing is, when anarchy sets in, punks are the first to go. :D

[bobboy]

Look, if you have something to say against my selection of posts, it's not like I can post em all :P. And I dont see White people as the same as another. Even if they have the same hair color and stuff like that. Same for Black people. And gosh, I simply pointed something out and said that if I'm wrong, correct me. Also, many people speed. Probably all of us, or at least US. I haven't been to too many other countries, so I wouldn't know. Just pointing out that we speed, but we aren't necessarily bad drivers.

I can't even blow off steam anymore without someone using some sarcasm and telling me I'm ignorant. Sure, I am to some extent but jeez.

BTW, C & H rocks! heh. same for explosm.net

[Protosschick99]

Mexicans:

Why do you think it is appropriate to propagate your stereotype in a joking manner? How does that help anything?

Because it's funny. :P

Honestly though--I don't joke around with Mexican's from Mexico--They'd get mad at me because I'm not "Mexican" enough to be one of them. I'll joke with my home girls who are Mexican just like me or my family. Same goes for African-Americans. They can call each other the n-word but anyone else--Oh heck no--You are gonna get yourself jumped.

Sadly, I'm not "American" enough because of my skin color, yet I am not "Mexican" enough because I am an Americanized "Mexican".

Anybody know what I am talking about? ^

[Black.Ice]

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean PC, however, I'm Indian enough to be Indian.

When I was younger, I didn't know much about the Indian culture and I was pretty much an American.... yet I wasn't, because your skin color really makes a difference, unfortunately. So I took an interest to my Indian culture, and well... I consider myself a part of both.

[Zeltaris]

Mexicans:

Why do you think it is appropriate to propagate your stereotype in a joking manner? How does that help anything?

Huh? I'm not quite sure I understand the question cos my sombrero keeps me from reading it properly. :D

But seriously, it's just the way we [not just mexicans but latin americans] look at life. It's just funny that there's people out there who think mexicans are like the ones you see in Zorro movies. And, as long as we're not directly affected, we don't really care about it.

[BTW, when I said I didn't understand the question, I meant that I don't know if you're talking about real mexicans or united-states-born mexicans. So I just assumed you were talking about real mexicans and answered accordingly:P]

[DragonPaladin]

Sadly, I'm not "American" enough because of my skin color, yet I am not "Mexican" enough because I am an Americanized "Mexican".

Of course. I just deal with it though.

[Giggilyomeromicon]

Is there a reason that we're avoiding the "Jews have huge noses, are good at math, and are all accountants." Stereotypes?

[kongurous]

Is there a reason that we're avoiding the "Jews have huge noses, are good at math, and are all accountants." Stereotypes?

Because all Arab people smell like onions.

[TinyDancer]

Red-headedness is a genetic mutation, so it doesn't always discriminate between ethnicities/races. Some black people are born with naturally bright red hair. Some Asian people are too. It just depends.

Everyone started talking about that article on teeny condoms after I posted a link, but no one quoted the article or anything. Hmm.

Oh, and bobboy, you're promoting a stereotype that all Americans have bad stereotypes for other races. That we don't just accept people. Fair enough, some people don't. But not all Asians are good drivers either. Let not a few dictate your judgement of the majority.

[Schwitzer]

Heh, stereotypes stem from a grain of truth, but certainly aren't the rule. I think that's all that really needs to be said about them. :P

[PrestonBurke]

The destruction of the educated class was partially the reason for China's weakened state. University students, instead of pursuing an education, ended up working in fields. This set China back about 10 years or so technologically.

The intellecutals being sent to camps or killed were not part of Mao's works. He encouraged the youth in China to start there own revolution to help the country, but he didn't have any idea that it would turn out like that. The youth formed the Red Guard which wanted to destroy the whole system of schooling and learning, and adopt a more rural but simple system of farming and military. Mao himself, who realized that it was foolish of himself to say that, had to stop the Red Guard himself.

Everyone started talking about that article on teeny condoms after I posted a link, but no one quoted the article or anything. Hmm.


Because you're link didn't work.

[xodkrm]

You're also American. You ever been to Japan? It's odd being one of the tallest people walking down the street.
I know how you feel. I'm just under 6", and when I go to any asian country, I feel like like +2". When I come back to Canada, my height is suddenly -2".

Because all Arab people smell like onions.

Making a stereotype in a thread about stereotypes? That's completely unheard-of.

[TinyDancer]

Bah! WB shortened it and made it bad. Lamesauce. Fixed.

I've always found sterio types to be untrue, I mean come on judging people by what they are or the colure of there skin. God if I don't like someone I get to know them and then find a habit they have to hate them by.

stereotypes are faster.

With that said, it doesn't help that some groups perpetuate certain stereotypes.

Stereotypes exist and it is inevitable :(

The only thing we can do to make this world a better place is to live our lives the best we can without racism and whatnot.

[Zeltaris]

Because it's funny. :P

Honestly though--I don't joke around with Mexican's from Mexico--They'd get mad at me because I'm not "Mexican" enough to be one of them.
Anybody know what I am talking about? ^

I hate you :mad:

just kidding ^_^

I get what you're saying. See, we REAL [j/k again, couldn't resist :P]mexicans have this irk for mexicans from across the border because some (dunno if most or just a few) turn into massive gits the moment they set foot here, going all despotic like they're demigods because they're from "el otro lado", being total jackasses with their less fortunate relatives and... well, you get the point. As a result, mexican-americans aren't quite popular here. Stereotypes again -_-

Is there a reason that we're avoiding the "Jews have huge noses, are good at math, and are all accountants." Stereotypes?

This stems from the fact that since Jews were persecuted from most jobs, they usually became accountants, business owners, and usurers.

Yep, in Medieval times, Christians weren't allowed to give loans and ask for rent. Therefore, Jews were the only bankers in Europe. =/

[Skullflower]

Stereotypes fucking own. Thats all I really have to say. Also, weren't the Knights Templars essentially bankers?

[dunchy]

Indians.

Can you name 2 rich indians or a celebrity indian? The only ones appear on Indian tv up in Iqualuit or however it's spelled, Canada doesn't care. Up here it's the only group of people that gets no tax yet has 3,000 mcdonalds wrappers in the backseat of the family's rusted out K-car.

Unless we're talking casino owning Indians. Those mother-fuckers rule. The rest (and really, it's the ones in Canada here) get drunk on lysol and bannock bread.
