What are your opinions about stereotypes?

Question

Do you think using them for 'comedic purposes' is appropriate?

Answer 1

I think people are too PC and act too friggin sensative. If people just lightened  up and didn't take things so seriously, it'd be a much better world!!!

Answer 2

I dislike them. First of all seldom are they used to describe something positive and they do not apply to everybody. I rather look at every single human being I meet and  and take it from there.

Answer 3

Yes, most of the stereotypes are true anyways so why not laugh at them.

Answer 4

I don't care for them.  It's better to get to know people for who they are instead of stereotyping them.

Answer 5

Nothing more that an insult from an ignorant person who have no respect for  those other then there own kind!!!

Answer 6

I think it's not appropriate. Seriously they are hurtful. If this keeps happening the world might not be at peace. People need to stop stereotyping as soon as possible.

Answer 7

Stereotypes have been used since the man was created. "Political correctness" is much worse.

Answer 8

it's appropriate in comedy to a certain extent. you can always go too far, you know? being indian, i think some of the stereotypes about my culture are hilarious...as long as you stay behind the fine line. and i'm sure it goes for other cultures and such as well.

hope this helps
