Do u believe in stereotypes?

Question

Do you believe that mexicans or hispanics like drinking beer and getting drunk and hit their women?

Do you believe that blacks are born with a football or basketball in their hand and are loud?

Do you believe that whites are mean and dry people with not much of a sense of humor?

Do you believe chinese people are book smart but not street smart?

Answer 1

Stereotypes don't just appear by themselves - they are based on something. This doesn't mean that they are ALL true, of course, but everything you mentioned is probably partially true, or at least more common in some races than others.

Answer 2

No Because my father is 100% mexican and has never hit my mother.

And No Because My Friend isn't so good at Basketball or Football. Hes Quiet too until you get to know him XD

Dane Cook is white and hes HALARIOUS!!

Answer 3

-I don't believe that Black people smell bad and white people smell good.

-I don't believe that women's brains are in her toes.

-I don't believe that men are the best.

-I don't believe that g*y people go to h**l.

-I don't believe that pop music are only for guys who loves girls, or only for girls.

Since I don't believe all those above, I don't believe in all what you have mentioned.

In fact, I don't believe in stereotypes.

*Best Wishes*

Answer 4

All races and cultures have different characteristics and behaviours, and it's all down to statistics. For instance it may be true that Mexicans drink more beer per head than Chinese, but this doesn't mean that all Mexicans drink gallons of beer, which is the stereotype. So to answer your question, I don't believe in stereotypes because they assume that everyone in a race is the same, but I do believe that certain behaviours are more prevalent in certain races.

Answer 5

well now that u brought it up...it can be true to smoe extent..

Answer 6

i feel that everyone has a mix of emotions and cultures. yes i do understand that people have some characteristic features and behaviour that are dictated by their eating habits and geographic conditions. But those stereotypes are restricted to 3rd world countries where technology and modernity has not dawned. By and Large one can vouch that there is no stereotype in the world.  

Answer 7

Of course SOME people fit those descriptions.  

There is an abundance of people in the world.  They come in all shapes and sizes.  I don't believe these stereotypes.  However, the people they do fit get on my nerves SO much, lemme tell ya...  

Answer 8

i dont really believe in any of that...i do know a family of mexicans, and their father beats the wife and children....so i can see where they get it, its common, but im sure not EVERY mexican family has that... alot of black ppl that live near me are really loud, but anyone can b really loud...and they say about the sports bcuz those are common black sports, it can b taken as a compliment meaning they are good at it...but again, that doesnt occur in every black person...ALOT of white ppl i know are mean as h e l l...i understand where they get that, im white and i have a sense of humor, so that part really isnt true, we like to laugh, but we can be mean, just as any other race can b too...chinese ppl are extremely book smart....im sure just like any other race, some arent street smart, but most certainly there are ppl that are smart with everything like that....

any race can do anything another race is... its really wrong to b stereotypical like that when u dont live the culture but ppl do it anyway....i personally dont believe in any of it

Answer 9

I just observe and if it turns out that way 80 percent of the time than i just go with it and seem surprised at the other 20 percent that occasionally will show up

Answer 10

Well no not at all! Because it bugs me when people are that way! Like there is a family that is african american down the street from me and they steal and drink and do drugs and a lot of people stereotype all blacks because some are like that! My dad has a good friend who is african american and people judge him to be that way too!
