Although it gets rave reviews I don't think TOO many whites like being referred to as REDNECKS; the Foxworthy books and jokes.\n\n/doc

I do my best not to stereotype people and I have gotten pretty good at it, but I was guilty of it in the past for sure.  Most of the time my stereotyping is not racial or religious or based on hair color though.  It is more based on social cliques and behaviors and I really do try my hardest to avoid it.

I think that if I was trying to hurt a white person's feelings, I would ask them how things are down at the trailer park and when their cousins are going to marry each other again.  I would accuse them of being a racist, a slave master/owner, or a member of some white supremist group. I would also rant about how much they hate black history month, afrocentric holidays, and how their ancestors stole land from the indians. Furthermore, I would stereotype them with television shows like "Leave it to Beaver" and "Father Knows Best".

People adopt stereotypes because they want to make the world as safe and predictable for themselves as they can. You defy stereotypes, so people are shocked by you. You shouldn't let it bother you, though. In fact, you should enjoy it, because you always keep people guessing!:)

It's just a stereotype.  "We develop stereotypes when we are unable or unwilling to obtain all of the information we would need to make fair judgments about people or situations." (mostly unwilling)

You are not alone.  It's annoying.  I am a Democrat and I don't have anything against any person of any party affiliation.  Stereotypes are just human nature (90% ignorance).

Once again, no one READ the question!\n\nAs a white female, there are no words or stereotypes that bring me to violence. Really the only thing that angers me is the lack of knowledge people have, or someone attempting to insult my intelligence. Name calling and stereotypes are something that I "shake off" as ignorant. \nTake it from the phrase taught to children:\n\n*Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me.*

I think it's generally the attitude of black americans.  Caucasians don't necessarily reject the physical atttributes of some of the darker skinned people, but it is the behavior and demeanor that we frown upon.

Stereotypes form from what it appears the majority of those distinct people are doing. Stereotypes are usually untrue about the whole group, but are usually true about the most visible ones of those groups. It appears to me that the least desireable of any group are the ones most demonstrative and most visible and thats where the stereotypes come from. Are all Italians mobsters? No... but those who are make themselves very visible. Are all blacks ghetto thugs? No, but those who are make themselves most visible, are all Christians nasty judgemental hypcrites? No, but those who are have made themselves most visible. Are all gays flamboyant hairdressers? No, but they're the ones most visible. \n\nUsually the stereotypes are what we wish people would overlook. Best thing to do I suppose is for the good people of these bunches to come out and be more vocal for their side.

There is no reason for that except society's insecurities. I am talking about all around, because while I totally agree with you, I get called a cracker way too much... Would be nice for all stereotypes to dissapear because an upstanding black guy and an upstanding white guy, are both good enough to have the respect of others.

Things are generally stereotypes because they are very broad generalizations of a particular group.  \n\ne.g.  \n\nGirls are bad at math. \n\nWhite men can't jump. \n\nChildren who are homeschooled don't get a well-rounded education. \n\nAnd in my experience, the people of Mexican decent or who were born in Mexico who I have worked with tended to work as hard as my other employees and attended the same schools as everyone else.

I have yet to find one race that excepts everyone no matter what color they are. I've had racial slang thrown at me by Hispanics, and Blacks. Racism isn't just practiced by white people.

Because some afercan americans see it  as you grew up preppy adn you dont know what it is like to live in "the hood"  So they treat you diffrently for some reason they dont belive that white people go through the same thing tehy do which isnt true.  Everybody no matter what color goes through rough times and bad things.  You concidered white cause of where you grew up adn probley whom you hung out with. Its your posture the way you speak and dress and how you go about your day.

Stereotypes are always from the same root:  ignorance.  It is a way for people to explain something they do not understand; that is different from their way of doing things, or different from themselves.\n\nSome common stereotypes debunked:\n\nBlack people love eating fried chicken and watermelon.  Well, I'm white and love both.  I bet a lot of people on here are white and like them too!  \n\nLatinoes are lazy.  I believe that stereotype is a reaction to a sense that jobs are being stolen by this particular group of people.  If they were really so lazy, why would an employer hire them?  In my experience working with people of various races, Latinoes work just as well as anyone else.  It is a matter of individual merit.\n\nGerman women are excellent housekeepers.  Not if you look at my best friend's house!  hehehe\n\nStereotypes are foolish ideas, created by foolish people.\n\nSue

Nothing against other cultures, but whites do not have a monopoly on self-centeredness.  The Japanese consider themselves superior to the Koreans (with which they have some genetic link).  Many Arabs consider themselves to be superior to everyone else.  The Hebrews call themselves the Chosen People.  The list goes on....

Stereotyping usually promotes negative attitudes (Eg. Women can't drive)\n\nWhereas grouping people groups them based on similar characteristics (people with boob are women)

I call people of various races much worse than colors...but only when they piss me off.  By the way, you're not white but a dago.
