Steriotypes?

Question

I don't get it, ok i understand steriotypes and that they are sometimes right, well i don't think there right but people exadurate it too much so it seems very insulting to a group of people. ok black people are drug dealers, they know how to dance, there women have shapely bodies etc. Ok drug dealing, im not going to lie, black people in the US have more gangs and stuff, but its not because there black, people. its because of where they grew up. If you had to grow up in a place really poor becuase you didn't have anywhere to go,because people judged u by your skin, also the slang, lets see... they were shipped from africa people, they had to learn the english language and if they didn't the were punished, and having an african accent and learning engish is gonna come out different, so they mis pronounced words, and basically it stuck over the ages and became habit and apart of their culture. So please people before you judge people with certain steriotypes, know there past please.

LOL stereotypes, my bad typing mistake geez >.>. ANYWAYS i was just giving an example not just meaning black people alone, if you really read all of what i said i mentioned black people, yes, but its just an example of how stupid steretypes can be.

Answer 1

to me you don't sound like you are steriotyping, to me you sound racist

Answer 2

Well for one thing drug dealing is not a stereotype of black people. It is true however that drug dealing is associated often times with gangs, whatever race they happen to be. Not all drug dealing goes through gangs though. You think those Hollywood people doing coke are getting it from a drug dealer in Compton? Also the slang used by African Americans does not have much to do with the original Africans to this country. It has mostly to do with the hip hop culture that is part of many African Americans lives. If you were alive before the hip hop/rap culture, was around you would know that African Americans did not talk like many of them do now. I do agree with you thaht people should not judge people by stereotypes that are given to their race, gender, or religion.

Answer 3

First of all, it seems to me that you have a problem not with stereotypes, but with stereotypical opinions about African American people. Get over yourself. There are many other races that have stereotypes. If you would give your mind room to do more than think about what someone convinced you a person should be, you may be able to open your mind to what that person really is. Keep in mind, as I have said previously, stupid comes in all colors, including yours and mine, whatever they may be.
