negative stereotyping of different races

Some stereo types are just the truth or oftentimes true. Muslim youth in Holland: - Low education - Low determination - Receive a boatload of financial aid to keep them quit. - Commit fraud. Even small like checking out immediately after checking in on public transport. I take the bus every single day and never have I seen a native Dutchie do this... NEVER! - Commit crime. 50%, if not more has had to deal with police. - Try to follow Islam but actually don't follow it. - Put themselves in the victim role when they're doing things wrong. - They say you're discriminating them when you're critiquing them. ( Being Moroccan, Turkish, Somalian is no race, remember? xD) Dutchies: - Greedy - Yep, we only give one cookie during tea because you're not supposed to eat yourself fat on cookies. - Arrogant - Yep, blame the government, left-wingers make you arrogant. - Cheese munchers - We love cheese yep - Like having vacation in caravans and motor homes on campings - yeap. - Youth likes going to Spain or Greece to get drunk and do the do. - Sadly... yes... Is it bad to stereotype? Not... If it's really true...

yeah, i am also against this.. but i think what, if we should also behave as well properly when we are in a place, other than our comfort, so that we will not be stereotyped. example, if i am a chinese, i try not to be noisy or very talkative in the pantry or canteen since there are other races around that might get irritated. or my food is not normal to the place I stay, and its a little bit smelly, i will try to ask permission or just say simple is it ok? or i am sorry if i get anybody feels unpleasant about it. what do you think?

I think these stereotypes existed because there were more than a minority of people in that particular ethnic group with that negative trait. I do not know what the circumstances would be, ten percent or twenty percent? But enough so someone has to make the statement "Not every Asian is good at science," etc. although I never heard anyone say "not every White is in the middle class, some are actually poor," etc. However one does not know how much of these stereotypes were manufactured such as the stereotype in the 1940s and early 1950s that if you were poor, you would become a criminal or whether the term "not all are ===" should apply to anybody. I do believe it has to do with the person's first encounters with individuals of a particular ethnic group. So if he is unfortunate enough to come against a black gang who are loud mouthed and boastful, he will believe that all blacks are like that. Similarly if an Hispanic woman is hired by a rich white family, she will assume all whites are like that, that is, until they broaden their horizons and see that not everyone fits the same package of their ethnic group and we are all individuals.

Well, those stereotypes depend on the country you're, and they're not limited to races, but to nationalities too. Of course, stereotypes are only that, and can't be taken as the truth, as most of them are just misinformation. For example, I'm in Japan: everyone can do martial arts, are computer and manga geeks, feed on raw fish mainly... I can assure you the reality is far from that

Well i can't say why these stereotypes exist ... but i think the best way is to ignore them ....otherwise if you work in a multinational corp or a place where you need to intereact with people from all races becomes kind of hard ... more than that just by social values we should not differentiate amongst fellow humans like that .. i think that the creation of stereotypes in todays world.. a lot can be blamed to the careless media work ,.. and propaganda !
