Zauls Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Polaris please stop being such an over-politically correct Nazi. Everyone knows stereotypes aren't true for all people in any group and its just something to laugh about. Only very small-minded people will take offense from such things. Now please excuse me while I put on my top hat and my monocle and stroll down the street with my walking stick stroking my moustache embracing the fact that I'm British, old chap.

.Rai Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Yo, don't let it get too heated, guys :cWhile I agree that excessive glorification of stereotypes is unhealthy, stereotypes and external perception is part of everyday life. Might as well turn it into humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted April 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Stereotypes are meant for comedy, really. They're kinda pointless to mention in serious debates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalarctos Maritimus Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 There are no "good stereotypes" because stereotypes are oversimplifications by definition. I'm not sure anyone has actually said "Good Stereotypes" most people just said "Funny Stereotypes"or"Prefered Stereotypes" They can't be classed good Stereotypes are meant for comedy, really. They're kinda pointless to mention in serious debates. Exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Intent is a very important thing. If you intend harm when talking about stereotypes it's bad, otherwise it's fine usually. I mean....look at all the Asians here who are perfectly fine with the "Asians are good at math" stereotypes. Heck some of them say it's kinda true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosuke-kun Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I mean....look at all the Asians here who are perfectly fine with the "Asians are good at math" stereotypes. Heck some of them say it's kinda true. Lemme just say that I'm Japanese and fully support the "Asians can't drive" stereotype. I've almost been run over 4 times in my neighborhood. Every time it was an Asian driver. Hell I myself drive rather poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
