Stereotypes are 99% of the time wrong... at least that is my approach when meeting new people and learning about new cultures. However, stereotypes are commonly used so I started to think about all the stereotypes (positive ones) about people... and I got stuck with caucasians... I couldn't think of one... please help. Thanks

It's difficult to figure out what your own stereotype would be. To get an insight into that, you have to ask someone from another culture what their take on 'white' people is. Whites are often stereotyped by Latins as being cold, and unfriendly. They are stereotyped by Asians as being uptight and money-mad. Unfortuately, whites don't seem to have many positive stereotypes, like blacks can sing and hispanics can dance.

well im hispanic and while im no bob fosse or wade robson, i have pretty good rythm, but you cant really blame ne one for the fact that white ppl dont have a positive stereotype, look at how many ppl here put stuff like " we dont pilfer of the system" or "we help things that exist get better" in history everywhere white ppl went (i.e europeans french etc) they supressed and eventually ran off whatever ppl were indiginous to that area, so no they dont make things better they take credit for things that arent theirs, so maybe ppl dont give white ppl positive stereotypes cuz everyone knows how conceited white ppl can be (sorry, that is just a real hot button of mine)

A stereotype is that white people have it all but they complain about not having enough. They are also not 'hardcore' and they have no idea about 'real' hardships.
I have never heard a positive stereotype about them.
That's really sad. But just remember, stereotypes are created by ignorant people, so it doesn't matter!

Hispanics are stereotyped to be hard workers...Blacks are stereotyped to sing, dance and steal. Asians are stereotyped to be smart, and have small penises, And i'm not sure about whites either, wow. But your about hispanics being able to dance, I mean yeah, some can, but thats not generally what they are stereotyped to do. The stereotypes i named are NOT true in most cases, please remember that. I'm surprised I can't think of one for whites though.

You answered your own question. You basically stated there is nothing positive about caucasians. <<<< There is your stereotype. You are obviously under the 'idiot' stereotype.

Caucasian is just a term for Europeans that came here. Its not an ethnicity. You have to divide it..irish, italians, polish etc.. now you can write down their positive stereotypes!

You can't think of a positive stereotype for white people?
You can't think of anything generally good to say about Caucasians, basically.
Most Caucasians don't care if you call them racial epithets.
They have better things to do than blame other groups for their own personal shortcomings.
They laugh and agree when other groups say we can't dance or jump and a whole bunch of them even embrace the term 'redneck' like a badge of honor.

Whites manage the world resources, and create jobs for all the others be able to eat. Also, they maintain order among all the others, so they don't kill each other.
ps
since when the blacks can sing, and the Hispanics can dance

Did you know, 98% of percentages are made up?
Teehee, but in seriousness it's like what NYGIRLMIAMI said, you have to split it up. Italians have lots of food, the English are mannerly... stuff like that.
