And a lot of the people I see don't make it easy. Especially the Hispanics at my school. They all are the stereotypical gangster wannabees, they all act like misogynistic idiots, they always get into trouble. It's a serious "W   T    F   !?!" moment for me.

I'm always dissauding all of these myths, but you know, there might be a bit more truth behind the stereotype than I thought.

And don't call me a racist. I have always tried to dissaude any prejudices or stereotypes, it just seems lik maybe I'm not as right as I thought.

There's some truth behind every stereotype. But the fact that you mentioned Hispanics makes you indeed, stupid. HAHAHa

Stereotypes continue to exist because few tend to disprove the falsities of them.

Why? They are the most prevalent in my school. I am not concerned with white stereotypes, and the black population at my school is negligible.

I know not all. Have you ever heard of "exaggeration" by any chance?

I think all stereotypes had a basis. I could probably help you find them out if you listed a few.

stereotypes like black athletes are superior to white athletes?

U prolly fit neatly into a stereotype yourself. Have you cosnidered that they could feel the same way about u?


-- Posted by babygurl 2008 at 2:22 pm on Sep. 11, 2008

Ok, what stereotypes you believe that may be true?

Aha, I see this. Well, it's more that a while back, blacks were rarely in athletic events. One that DID get in had to be REALLY good.

Another thing, as you probably noticed, the black athletes get payed more, but, aren't always the best.

Another reason could be proof in one way or another. As you know, sports use a lot of sprinting and jumping, something Negroes outshine all others in.

But, when you look at the Olympic scores, Negroes scored about 11% of the medals while whites scored about 65%.

No, because I am not stereotypical. I am its antithesis.
