Are you one to stereotype?
When someone says their brother is a gamer, do you automatically think "Glasses, overweight, braces, & severe acne."?
When someone says their tutor is Asian, do you loose any doubt in said tutor's capabilities?
Do you think you'd save a nickel if you bought lemonade from the Mexican boy, rather than the Jewish girl?
I could go on...

nope i don't do the whole stereotype thing.
my brother is a gamer and he has less than 2% body fat (hes not anorexic either), he has perfect vision, straight teeth but never had braces, and clear skin.
i know some really dumb asians
i know some really honest, nice, mexican guys and some really mean jewish girls. fail.

Omg! I hate stereotypes. I'd rather have a positive stereotype, like I'm smart. I have all the negative stereotypes. Such as me being violent, dumb, angry, fat, "ghetto", poor, illiterate, loud..
Source(s): Yeah. I do stereotype. It's not usually the harsh stereotypes though. For example, when I seem some Hispanic person, I sometimes assume that they now how to speak Spanish. That's not always true. When I see Black people, I automatically assume that they are religious. Obviously, that's not the case! I'm not religious and I'm black. - 1 decade ago
A little bit, but not to the obnoxious extent that you do... I think you're not just stereotyping, you're very prejudicial as well.

Everyone steroetypes without themselves knowing it. Due to the things we were influenced with when we were growing up.

Well yeah, I'm human. We all do it whether we realize it or not.

I try not to.. but it happens.. I'm human..
Source(s): but the fact that I make a conscious effort not to do it should be something in and of itself..
