Seriously... who cares? Yes we are all one species, but that species is also human. As ugly as it is, opinions are made, and stereotypes aren’t stereotypes, they’re freaking FACT.
Sure, I’m thinking the same thing most of you are saying. That the only reason this poll shows mistrust is because “by gosh, it’s TRUE!”.
The black majority show up as ghetto, uneducated, lazy, and most of the time come off as criminals. Family values are usually seen as “do it or I’ll get mah belt, boy!”
The majority of Hispanics (aka Mexicans in the west and midwest, Puerto Ricans in the East Coast, and Cubans in Florida, yay stereotypes right?), are looked at as hard workers, job stealers, and gang bangers with, mostly, a huge family gathering.
The Asian majority are seen as Algebra and Calculus wizards and are most likely in accounting or in your local Chinese restaurant or laundromat, running it, and think that all of their customers, “THEY STEAL MY STORE!!! THEY ALWAYS STEAL FROM STORE!!! NO BUY GE’OUT!” Their family values are also very harsh, FOR HONOR!!!!
Middle easterns are... well... they run the Kwik-E-Marts and are all probably terrorists.
Yes, dirty dirty, nasty and disgusting. Let’s face it, you are lying if you never had one of these gone through your head and you nodded and said “yeah, I see, hear, or think that sometimes,” (minus the terrorist part, that’s just a racist joke, hurrr).
That’s what these races are pinned for because THEY KEEP DOING IT!!! Maybe if they’d FIX these things up and, y’know, not be like this any more, then maybe the “stereotypes” will disappear and then everyone will go, “Huh, but I thought they were supposed to do such and such. Oh well.”
That’s what Bill Cosby pretty much said in a nutshell not too long ago. And I agree with him.
There’s plenty of good examples that don’t match the stereotype and live really good lives as really good people on this forum alone (omg you’re a conservative does that mean you’re a [insert liberal stereotype here] etc.). If everyone would freakin’ try in life, we wouldn’t have TOO MUCH of this nonsense, and everyone would be making fun of the racists and singling their idiocies out.
Except for the KKK and the Nazis... they’re just a bunch of dumb sons o’ youknowhats.
One can hate an entire group, but like the individual.
