Have you found any sterotypes to be true.......?

Stereotypes usually contain a wee bit of truth,  but have been highly exaggerated and then stretched to apply to the entire race in question.\nStereotyping is a bad idea, because it causes you to generalize about an entire race, just based on what a few individuals may do.\nI love curry, and often I smell like it because I'm cooking with the spice, that doesn't make me Indian, now, does it?\nI've got a friend who used to be a crack addict, is she black or white? (she's white, by the way).\nThe Dog Whisperer on National Geographic, used to be an illegal from Mexico. Now he makes more money than you and me, combined.\nDoes this help you any?

That's not always true. People have different personalities and it's just who they are.

My son is interracial and he is the most beautiful male I have ever seen. Not just Mama bias, either...strangers remark on how handsome he is. I think it's something to do with getting the best of both races. Whatever it is, I have seen very few (maybe 2) 'mixed' people that I would say are unattractive.

Almost constantly\n\nI have lived a very,,, unsheltered life and the majority of the population I have had dealings with suck!!  Most are dumb, rude and totally selfish.  Stuck up and most of them suct more than me!  I avoid people as much as possible. I have 2 friends total!!\nI know lots of people from work and school so don't misunderstand. I am quite sociable when I have to be, it's just all fake.  :o)\nPeople are untrustworthy as a whole.  That's it I guess.

Sweetheart that's a pretty crude generalization....  I personally find "Mixed woman" to be very attractive more times then not... And I KNOW i am not alone.... Just look at all of the responses to your question....

Yes, I have.  But then I've only dated one guy.  He is white and I'm Indian.  I really enjoy his company though and he is a very sweet person.  I would have liked to date an Indian guy, but all the ones I have met seem very rude and far too shallow.

I would say that those are stereo types that get perpetuated from movies like Austin Powers.  While some of these stereo types may hold true in some cases it would be the equivalent to saying “Is it true that all Americans are fat and love George Bush”\n\nOf course not, but some are and some do.

Why must everyone keep insisting that a stereotype is how everyone is?\n\nYou've saddened me. I'm a Muslim, and it makes me sad to see how many people insist that we're 'intolerant' or whatever. The thing is, you don't judge someone by how other people act. If I looked at some random people and then decicded that everyone else is like them too I wouldn't be being very fair. In fact- the people putting us down are actually intolerant. Intolerant of us. Why can't we all just accept people as they are? There are some people in this world who are different than you. You have to accept it. And when you go around spouting questions, please think about who you might be offending. What you are saying is that Muslims are extremely intolerant. Don't make judgements about a whole culture unless you actually know a lot of Muslim people. If you don't, then don't make judgements based on your studies. We are like you people. Everyone is different, with different personalities. PLEASE, please don't judge a book by it's cover. I am crying as I write this...

there is "some" truth to all stereo types, thats why they are stereotypes. but it is wrong to judge everybody based on them because even though a large enough cross section of a certain group may in fact fit the stereotype, not all do. we need to evaluate every body based upon their own individual identity

Yes ofcourse, I would think many stereotypes are valid but only when stated properly in the form of a generalization. Why else would they exist? But you must decide whether there's a difference between a "stereotype" and a "generalization". Most people use the two ideas interchangably. If what ur using or talking about is really a generalization, then ur not making an absolute or undebatable statement on something. Stereotype's are usually invalid when they claim to be absolute or undebatable by using words like "always", or "never". If however, it's presented as a generalization using words like "most" "usually" etc, then it could be valid statement. And for that reason, many stereotypes can be all or partially valid. Or they would never have appeared in the first place. But I think in ur question you are also refering to  those fashionable constructs about people that place them into groups. Those relationships between a person and some behaviour or artical of clothing that puts everything into one package. Well, even some of those constructs must have some basis for having come along. My best advise is when deciding about whether a particular idea is valid or not ...try exercising some of ur own analytical skills as well. Don't simply accept everything that peers, fashion or media may be stating.

It has been my experience that white people DO expect other white people to share their narrow minded views.  It is seems to me that most narrow minded individuals expect others to share their views.

Well generalizations/ stereotypes come from some basis of truth but that leads to a mistaken belief that covers 100% of the race that stereotype is attached to.  Even a tribe of people deep in the Amazon could have given type of feature but I'll bet at least a few of them don't fit it completely. Humans are a mixed up bag of personalities aren't they ;-)

Sure - anyone who says they've never done this is likely lying.  It's natural to gravitate toward what is familiar.  Some people obviously bring it a lot farther than others.  I can't really say I'm ashamed of it, but I try to stay aware of my responses to avoid offending others.  I judge people all the time, not just on race or nationality though; I make judgements about people by the way they look, act, speak, etc.

No, they do exist. Keep looking....they may not be the most flamboyant or even the best looking, but to find the nice guy, get passed the wrapper...

Most certainly yes.\nPeople seem to like the sort of stories that feed their own prejudices and confirm their view of the world. That's why so many of these stories are about foreigners or other "weird" people.\nIt seems a vicious circle to me, and no way out, unless more people come to their senses and stop buying that crap.
