What stereotypes have you, from your own personal experience, been able to corroborate as basically fact in your own eyes? This is not to incite some type of hate or anything, but I find it curiously odd that we don't think that race is somehow tied into culture and culture is somehow tied into how we behave in life. Nobody behaves identically alike so it's impossible to say "A people behaves like their people", since that is in association, false
Stereotypes are only what you yourself see with your "blinders" on. Otherwise you just won't believe them. But curious as it is, you sometimes find yourself listening to other people discuss the same type of stereotypes.
Add in more and more people with "blinders" on, and eventually you might be able to get a glimpse of the bigger picture.
My following stereotypes that may as well be fact to me, but have also heard many others talk about. Yet the logical part of me wants to say that it is impossible for related/assocaited people to behave generally in the same way when they don't know each other. Can these be proven wrong or true?
Stereotype #1. Asian women are generally slow and unsafe drivers.
- I can't think of a scenario where I had looked in my rear-view mirror to thank a friendly driver or admire someones skill and seen a Asian woman behind the wheel.
Stereotype #2. Poor white people in trailor parks generally have an extraordinary amount of people with blonde hair
-Just an observation, which is what a stereotype is
Stereotype #3. Black people are generally the hardest employees/students to motivate
-A widely held stereotype among many people, including myself.
Stereotype #4. White children who are "white trash" tend to scream alot. And scream very loudly, during disapproval, fear, enjoyment, and just for the heck of it.
Stereotype #5. Affluent white children are apathetic and complacent.
-Just listen to them bitch and moan about how stupid someone is, how horrible something is, blah blah blah.
Stereotype #6. Government workers have generally horrible customer service skills, especially when their job relies on customer service.
-This is proven fact.
