J-Max Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Discuss the kind of things or people you see who follow a typical Stereotype. Worst i've seen is a group of around 4 Hitler impersonators in London a year or so ago. Felt replused by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I know I'm about to use slightly mediocre logic here, but I can't seem to find numbers (or at the very least, I'm too lazy to look) for the number of [i]Chinese[/i] people in the world, so this'll have to do. Feel free to shoot down my argument if you do find those numbers and the statistics turn out to be wholly different than what I'm getting here. As of 2010... Population of China: 1.3 billion Population of Japan: 128 million Population of South Korea: 49 million Population of Thailand: 68 million Population of Vietnam: 87 million Population of Indonesia: 230 million Population of Philippines: 92 million (there are probably other "yellow" countries I missed, can't amount to a whole lot, though) So you have 1.3 billion Chinese people, and total... maybe 700 million other "yellow" Asians (again, not the most logical argument I'm using, it's because of a lack of information I have). Meaning that for every 20 "yellow" people you see, 13 of them are Chinese, roughly 65%. And let's just say my statistics are completely skewed and the percentage is more like 50%. That still means that half of the time, a "yellow" person you run into will be Chinese. Does that justify the stereotype? Not at all, but at least it does enough to explain why we use that stereotype and why it is successful for us a large portion of the time. The stereotype works [i]even better[/i] in America where most of the East Asian immigrants [i]are[/i] from China, so the percentage might be as high as 70 or 75. Again, if I had the numbers outlining the amount of Chinese people in the world (not just the amount in America, and not just the population of China), the argument would probably be a lot more convincing.

CrabHelmet Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 As far as I can tell, the stereotypes about bisexuals are that they're all evil, they're all sluts, and that they don't exist and are just lying. I've had all three put to me, though fortunately not yet by anyone in a position of power to hurt me because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Though overlapping in many ways, these are the forms of stereotypes I've noted. 1) "Stereotypes emerge from truth." People tend to converge data to in order to have it assist in situations at a later period. If a trait is observed consistently within a homogenous group, then the brain keeps that information to help in the future. For example, if five red-haired people all happened to favor swiss cheese to cheddar cheese, the distinction might be made then that red-haired people naturally prefer swiss to cheddar. Note that this does indeed work off of actual personal statistics and observations. It is a conclusion from from what is true, such as a chart that showed 90% of all gingers preferring swiss. 2) "When five boys get a math problem wrong, people suck at math. When five girls get a problem wrong, women suck at math." From a male perspective. Reverse that statement for the female one. When somebody is different, whether through gender, religion, beliefs, etcetera, the observations made are even more critical and often ignore that what's said of one group can easily be turned to the other. Very observable in racial comedy. "Ever notice how white people..." "What is it about white people and...." In this instance a black comic would go on to apply a silly action to white people specifically. Minority comics also use stereotypes about their own race, as this form of stereotyping doesn't just emerge from differences relative to the individual, but the overall difference in comparison to the entire community. 3) Reading Into Cultural Identity It's easily observable that cultures, through random events, gather beliefs and practices that differ from one another. The cultural dividing lines can be very abstract depending on what country you're in, but this form consistently appears nonetheless. It has less to do with what people do and more about the ideas and beliefs of the past that still exist beneath the surface. It should be noted that some identities do have concrete constructs surrounding them, especially religions. For example, a Christian believing in the Christian God is a fact. A Christian denying science is a stereotype. Basically, if the stated thought process is an actual requirement to be within the identity it is fact, but otherwise the conclusion reached is a stereotype. 4) Thoughts Developed Through Influence This one is major. People really don't have any idea how impressionable they are. We are consistently thrown random stereotypes on a daily basis by a multitude of sources, many of which aren't even intentionally doing so. The result is, unavoidably, that we have been slightly altered in our thinking and unless one is highly self-aware our conclusions are effected as well. I use stereotypes when it comes to human personality, identity, and behaviorism. Most stereotypes fail simply because they're too temporal in nature and ignore how complex people are.

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 The taliban already had a significant following in the area. The US funded them to drive out Russia, not paying attention to the fact that they were radicalists. It's a pretty simple concept. also stop listing bad rappers it wont help your point And my second post wasn't a double, for the record. Dreezy removed his response for some reason.
