So, I ask you, the people of EoFF, do you stereotype people?
Do you feel bad because you do it unintentionally?
Do you like Crumpets?

I catch myself stereotyping every now and then, but I don't feel bad about it. I don't even know what a crumpet is.
Yes I do, and I like doing it. Because I am a bitch. :mwahaha:
I stereotype because, more often than not, the stereotype is correct.
I steryotype ALL creatures with tentacles as being rapists.
><

Answer: Nope. Not really. Sometimes I want to. Cuz then I wouldn't seem like a complete dumba:tongue: :tongue: !
I agree with the classic stereotype that all adolescent males from Texas who join internet forums and choose usernames that characters Henry Winkler has played are absolute failures. I mean, so far it's yet to be proven wrong.
So rough Keith, so rough. ;)Quote:

i stereotype people who want to be stereotyped.
I think stereotypes are amusing, so I think about them a lot, and make jokes.
Stereotypes can be useful, but just a basic idea of what sort of personality the person has is needed. Then judge the person for who they are. Not their stereotype.
My stereo type is a Realistic from 1975. It rocks.
In after tuh pre-empted my joke :(
I stereotype for the purposes of lulz. They're so grossly exaggerated that it's hilarious.
I try not to stereotype people but I think everybody stereotypes at least a little bit, whether it's intentional or not.
I love crumpets. :drool:
I do. I stereotype based on ethnicity. Story time:
I went to my dentist this past weekend. My dentist is at a mall that used to be in a neighborhood I lived in about 23 years ago (when I first moved to Canada). 23 or so years ago there weren't many immigrants, but now there's a lot of asians here from the years of immigration since. So the mall's filled with asian stores and asians.
I left the mall and planned to take a detour out so that I would be able to make a left turn instead of waiting for oncoming traffic by exiting at some random exit out of the side. I didn't..I turned.
So now I was stuck waiting for traffic to clear before I could get in. And I waited and waited. The cars trying to turn in kept blocking me and eventually I had to just drive into the street and block traffic to get out.
Now this incident alone is meaningless to me but I found myself thinking about stereotyping based on ethnicities (guess why). I theorized that the stereotype has to be based on personal experiences (most stereotypes are), but do stereotypes cause us to have unjustified tolerance of the groups that we don't stereotype? I'm sure there's bad drivers from all groups of people, so why do I only think certain people can't drive?
So yeah, that.

I make fun of stereotypes.
