Answer 1

I think the point to this is, everyone is sterotyped in one way or another, but not everyone is the same so how can we use sterotyping?
Not every virgin is a prude, some people just haven't had sex. Not every asian has a small penis or owns a nail salon. Not every white girl is a gold digger,not all people who are christians hate homosexuals, not everyone is the same. Why does everyone in society today think people arn't individuals? Sterotyping doesn't help people it hurts people, makes them feel differnt in a bad way. Not all being stepford wives and living in pleasentville, is a good thing to me.

There you go... I think some people stereotype so that I they don't have to think and because it's easier and because the people are an enigma to them.

Answer 3

if I had to... I'm a WHITE GIRL, so I MUST be a nagging, steal-your-money kind of girlfriend.

Only I am married, but to a Puerto rican, I m sure peopel see me as a "white chick" mootching off of their own, and a good one, cause he works hard, well so do I, we have 2 kids and I am a good wife!

People sterotype because its the carnal mind, we all like to take the seat of God and judge everone else, even before we meet them, some how it makes us "happier" to think we know what we have no business gossiping about!

Answer 4

holy sh!t.

i'm white but i fit almost all the stereotypes of hispanics, stoners, and black people minus the part where i listen to rap.
i hate police, i like fried chicken, i like watermelon, i like kool aid, i've been known to be lazy. i hate america so people think i'm a terrorist, if i didn't have to kill innocent people i would be a terrorist, and just kill politicians and the president. i am a little crazy, but only when i get pissed off. i don't know what a straight edge means. however i can be violent. i always speak my mind so you might hate me but get over it. i've never kissed anyone's azz. i'm only a fun person to be arrond if you hav an open mind. if you don't have an open mind than you probably want me dead. i fit the main stereotypes of black people and none of the stereotypes of white people becaus i grew up in the ghetto and i know for a fact that the government is trying its hardest to keep black people stupid. and sometimes they're succeeful. but stereotypes in general are bullshit

I've gotten my fair share of teasing for all of the above.

A lot of people are raised believing this is normal, and it's time we re-educated the world.

Answer 9

I am asian and smart, and got A LOT of friends including my two ex crushes

Answer 10

Because there are a few in each group, who do fit into those sterotypes, are there are a few idiots who think that it makes everyone like that!
