At what point can you quit calling something a stereotype, and start calling it fact?
6/17/2011 12:38:24 PM EDT
[#1]
When the stereotype doesn't involve a protected group/minority.
6/17/2011 12:39:31 PM EDT
[#2]
When statistics give you a 67% success rate.

tea partiers are racists is a stereotype.  if you found some people in the tea party that were racist, would that make it a 'fact'?

I don't know, but I love stereotypes of all kinds.  When I go to the county fair, it makes my day to see an obese woman eating deep fried food with a 130 lb guy at her side wearing a stained wife beater with a bad tattoo on his neck.

What about ditching "stereotype" in  favor of "trend"?....

I mean, you can't REALLY say "all libs are crazy" but they DO "TREND"(lol) to run that way...

That can't work.  There's always exceptions to the rule.

For example, "Mormons are good people."

You are mostly right.  They are.  But they aren't ALL good people, so is saying "Mormons are good people" a stereotype?

Please note:  I was just using Mormons as an example.  I'm thinking of a whole different group of people in the OP.

All stereotypes are strongly rooted in reality.



Though they may not be universal, they are close enough for me...

Everytime I start thinking a sterotype is a fact, something or somebody proves me wrong.

It will stop as soon as all Texans stop wearing cowboy hats, drilling for oil, and naming their first born JR.

Unless there's no variation at all, stereotyping is going to be inaccurate.

The sky is blue.





Except right now it is gray. And sometimes its purple or orange or black.



That doesn't make, "The sky is blue," false.

Yeah, what is implied/inferred matters.

"Martians are retarded"  "I didn't say ALL Martians are retarded, you just took it that way, you are the xenophobe!"
Those exchanges are always fun
