Why are racial stereotypes always so...

[Shemtov]

I KNEW IT: THE JEWS DO HAVE ALL THE MONEY!!!

That stereotype comes from the fact that the Anti-semetic european regimes of the middle ages basically restrictated Jews to being Bankers or Rabbis. Banking was the most lucrative so most chose to enter that buisness.
Even after those laws were changed, Jews stayed in banking and other economic jobs because they learnt banking secrets by their fathers, who were only bankers because of the Laws.

One time I was the cashier at the groccery store I work at and this one older black guy bought: fired chicken, watermelon, and kool-aid. I was thinking damn he had to buy every stereotypical food he could find.

Except, find me a white person that doesn't like at least two of those. If they don't, there's something wrong with them as Teddy said. I see more white people in KFC than blacks.

Also, in the middle ages, Christians were not allowed to be bankers. So they depended on the jews to bank for them.

What I find even more mind boggling is why any type of person is in KFC.

Look, KFC is freaking awesome.

It might be dirty and grungy, but damnit, that original recipe is the ****ing shiz niz.

stereo types are def true... a large amount of that "group" may act that way, but the important thing to remember imo and respect about groups with stereotypes is that they don't apply to a group as a whole... not everyone acts or fits into that stereo type.. so if you're intelligent enough to know that, i honestly have no problem with them.

It's the year 2009 people; we're nearly a decade into the new millenium. NEWS FLASH: not all white people can't dance, every asian does not know kung fu, Mexicans really aren't all that lazy, etc.

Mexicans lazy? The stereotype I know is pretty much the opposite. Super hard workers with multiple jobs, especially gardening and lawn care.

And for the record: FRIED CHICKEN AND GRAPE SODA ARE NOT A BLACK THING! Everyone loves fried chicken and grape soda! Who doesn't. If you don't, THAN THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU!!! DEAL WITH IT!!!

Something's wrong with me, then. Baked chicken ftw. And I don't drink soda.

 

[E-Man]

RSP doesn't drink soda?! I thought you were cool man. Baked chicken is cool ,but so is soda.

What strereotypes have you been hearing?
The Stereotype I know is that Mexicans are lazy bums, who only eat beans, steal cauacasian artifacts, and have the worst BO in the history of the world.
Of course, stereotypes are different all over the US.
When I mentioned on another forum that Obama screamed at a reporter "Get away from me; i'm eating my waffles" somebody accused me of being Racist, becauyse apparantly in their part of the country, their was a stereotype that blacks subsist on Chicken, watermelon, and waffles. And The stereotype I heard was only Chicken and Watermelon.

Wow where do you live? The stereotype around here is that Mexicans(I hate that term, I generally use Latino) work harder than anyone, and that they'll do a job for next to nothing as long as they're getting paid. I live in a state that borders Mexico too, and I've never heard that stereotype.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I think for the mere fact you really only see white and black homeless people/beggars (rarely do i see mexican or asian, and never middle eastern or indian), proves which ones are the true lazy races.... and its the us whites and blacks. Every other race is willing to work hard and do the things we wont.

It's not from were I lived; I got the impression that that was the most popular stereotype from the internet.

Exactly. Oh, and they have all their extended family living with them. 100 people in a 1 bedroom apartment type s@#%.

 

[E-Man]

Haha I forgot about that "50 Mexicans in a car" stereotype.

Why do you hate the term Mexican?
It's just stating the nationality, a mexican is from Mexico. Latino just bundles all spanish speaking people into one homogenous group.

 

[RockSP]

, a mexican is from Mexico.

Most mexicans I know are from America.

 

[SuperFerret]

And yet, their lineage originates in Mexico.

 

[Majic Walrus]

Most mexicans I know are from America.

Are you sure about that?

 

[Duende Verde]

Most mexicans I know are from America.

Of course, all mexicans are from America, that's the name of the continent Mexico is located.

 

[SuperFerret]

I've heard the "stereotype" of the "lazy Mexican", but all knowledge I have of the "stereotypical" Mexican is that they're hard-working dayworkers. Of course not all of them are.

[SuperFerret]

Hey, I've got nothing against Mexicans. I mean, we've all climbed a fence once or twice.







Just for clarification, I like stereotypes simply for their humorous potential.

 

[terry78]

Are you a mexican or a mexican't?

This thread reminds me of Gob's inspirational song from "Arrested Development".
