I am surprised that the author is a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Stereotypes; I don’t make ‘em, I just point them out.

Uh Oh! This person ought to be careful. It could well be open season on them at school; considering all the deranged liberals that no doubt surround them. To paraphrase and old saying “Hell hath no fury like a liberal who has his/her talking point shattered”.

Cue Big Media’s black race-baiters whining about the “disproportionate representation” of their peeps in prison.
Of course, they never point out the fact that blacks disproportionately COMMIT crimes, that’s why there’s more of them in the Crowbar Hotel.

Well, the “consumer protection” department is making it nearly illegal to fore lose or collect bad debt from minorities. How long before they make it illegal to arrest them?

That’s foreclose - spelling “correction” isn’t.

After reading this article, there is only one conclusion I can draw.
Jason Morgan can kiss that PHD bye bye.

Years ago, at least ten or eleven, I read an article in The Onion called “Stereotypes Are a Real Timesaver”. I laughed out loud then and still lol occasionally when I recall it now. It’s worth a google for a good chuckle.

That op-ed, though a little long for most publications, is as well written and well reasoned as anything I have read on NR or Breitbart. I hope it winds up in wider distribution, though as others here have noted it might bring attacks on the author from his commie professors and colleagues at the University of Wisconson.

Being this realistic can get you fired from National Review, as John Derbyshire can attest.

Stereotypes are generalizations.
The ability to generalize is a survival skill.

I always maintained that stereotypes do contain some truth to them, be it a little bit or a lot as the case may be.

- There is a scientific consensus for global climate change - false but approved

- black folks are racist Disapproved
- Irishmen drink to excess approved
- Asians have higher IQ's Disapproved
- Conservatives are against women, blacks, the environment and puppies approved
- Free markets provide the most liberty and prosperity. Disapproved
- Liberals love all people and the environment and would not hurt a kitten approved

Well, it is in the deep part of the reptilian and limbic systems in our brain. It is where if there is a different tribe, group, species, if you will, that is not a part of your group or are unknown to you and your group, it is natural to be aloof and distrusting until it is satisfied they are not a threat to you or yours. If they post a threat, you rumble. It is a survival skill, hate to sound like a Clint Eastwood movie but there are two choices, "Quick or the Dead."

Making decisions based on data, observations, and experience... why that’s just crazy talk!

Great piece. Stereotypes don’t make up themselves.
