Do you believe in any stereotypes?

[MementoMori777]

It can be any from anything, I know it obviously doesn't speak for every single person but maybe a lot or a majority, do you believe in any? If so, what are they?

There are some that I believe are more probable than not. Humans can have very predictable patterns of behavior. However, I don't like leaning into generalizations unless I have enough of a reason to.

For instance, if I see a guy walking around with his pants sagging & listening to rap music while cursing, I'm gonna stay away from him based on how I've been treated by other people with those same patterns of dress, behavior, & speech. I wouldn't do this simply because someone is black though. I wouldn't want anyone to do that to me unless I was actually behaving in a way that blatantly had strong connections to that stereotype.

I think all stereotypes hold Some truth. Like the Asian parents stereotypes Asian parents are really strict and hard on their kids. They push them to be high achievers. I met Asian people who can sing, dance, play music and at the same time they r great engineers while starting a business and finding a role in politics. All at the same TIME. i am talking about a person i knew. When it comes to white people their is the first world problems stereotype which i have seen it. Indians are good with money and cheap along with the chinese i have also seen it. I have met also the angry black woman. Latinos are good at dancing and music. Some of the nest music i have heard are from Latinos artists. So yeah stereotypes are mostly accurate

I don't believe in genetic stereotypes.

But community sterotypes.

Growing up certain areas you get taught to carry yourself a certain way to fit in

[MementoMori777]

Sounds like that's the best way to put it I guess ha

[LazerBean]

Yeah, a lot of them. Stereotypes don't just randomly happen.

[MementoMori777]

Indeed they don't lol

[linka_pat307]
