Stereotyping

I don't know if this is necessarily a political topic but I think it would be interesting to hear what people have to say.

Topics of debate:

Stereotyping as a natural human instinct

Is stereotyping wrong

And Why do people stereotype.

I will be back at the end of the day to see what I get.

Have fun and please be nice.

Frequency Modulation. Of course, it's been more the standard because it's newer, instead of people going back and trying to revise AM. It's damn ageism!

Because no matter how much you say "stereotypes are bad," you will always find people who fit the stereotype.

Like there's this stereotype about metalheads not being all that bright...

It's funny that someone like linkbroken would make a thread about stereotypes when I just read her message that tops them all.

That's odd, I thought the same thing, something about you must just read as effeminate.

Everyone stereotypes even when they say that they don't, (you did it, we have proof.) Get over it.
It's such a regurgitated topic, i'm fed up of hearing about it.

Stereotyping is just pattern recognition applied to humans. The basic process is sound. The problem comes in when the stereotype picks up too much affect to be overriden despite contrary evidence or change in circumstance, gets tangled up with an ideology, becomes the basis for social engineering, etc. And in the broaders sense, even the perfectly logical application of accurate stereotypes can have negative effects from a social perspective, such as perpetuating the cycles that give rise to the stereotypes in the first place.

The currently in vogue brainwashing approach to the problem, in which we all demand of each other that we suppress and extirpate our own stereotype-based thinking is, however, not a solution. It's our era's equivalent of the early Christian mortifying the flesh, or if you prefer a modern example, the Catholic priest who isn't allowed to be with women and can't keep his hands off the little boys.

Yes. Beware, for we are many, and we are everywhere:
Mowing your lawns, cleaning your dishes, ironing your clothes, dong the housekeeping in your Holiday Inns.
Oh wait, you live in Japan, nevermind.
