Rowan22 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Lets face it, anyone resorting to a stereotype is a moron. People are individuals. All it proves if you judge by the group is that you are unable to use your intellect to asses people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are broadly similar and have similar behaviours. A person is an individual, people are not not necessarily so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My working class fashion thread bothered you so much, you've resurrected a 5 yr old thread about stereotypes to blow off steam about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan22 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Anyhoo! Back to some hopefully, well informed and intellectually relevant opinion. Most Chinese people are not contrary to the stereotype either "cruel" or "devious". Most black people are not "lazy" and "unintelligent". Most Scottish people are not "alcoholic berserkers". So why do people of limited intellect insist on perpetuating this view. Is it because they feel inadequate and inferior within themselves? And overcompensate by demeaning the group, in an attempt to make themselves feel less so? Calling some for instance a "Chav" or a "Pa*i is like advertising the above yes/no?

In my opinion strolling down Ecclesall Road in Ralph Lauren looks better than having tracksuit bottoms tucked into socks outside Sicey shops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
