(In case you haven't heard this one, it eventually works it way to where you think its going.)


Size 18. We all know where this is going. *flexes arms a bit* Yeah...that's a good stereotype to have....
 
In one of my brother's Psych classes, the proffesor asked the class what groups were okay to discriminate against. Almost everyone agreed on two groups. One was the KKK and the other was Canadians. The French were suggested but was put down by my brother, who once again acknowledges that he has French blood in him. During the war in Iraq, he didn't. I don't agree with the result of Canadians, however I really don't mind seeing the KKK being picked on.

Anyway, there aren't many 'good' sterotypes of Cubans or Hispanics in general, so I really can't say that I like them at all. A religous Catholic wouldn't take pride in himself in being a 'good lover.'
 
Where would comedy be without sterotypes?

I like them all, it's all in the use you put them to.
 
I don't mind most stereotypes because alot of time they are true. The mistake is when one assumes that a stereotype applies to all people in a category.

Being gay I don't mind the stereotypes about being a good dancer or having fashion sense, or about being a sissy.

I do mind some stereotypes that some people have, like assuming that gays are pedophiles.

just out of interest, would you say YOU have better fashion sense, dancing skills or interior decoration skills than the average bloke?

Borscht. Or is that Lithuania?


I didn't know how to spell it, so I just put soup. I spent about five minutes trying different spellings, the whole 5- consonant in a row thing threw me off ;)


Where I live people are usually either Polish or Italian. There's no such thing as a Polish joke, we replace Polish with Norwegian, and things usually work out.

I would say yes, simply because I probably care more about these things then the average bloke.
 
I hate fashion, can't dance and couldn't care less about interior decoration. Hey, I'm Mr. Super-Straight! :D
