    Are stereotypes true?
    With the recent Election there has been a lot of race talk going on. Such as "Whites do this... " and "Blacks do this..." etc etc. I don't think all stereotypes are true but here's a list of stereotypes that I think we can all agree are definitely 100% true. Here it is:

    Big Noses, Run Hollywood and the Banks-MEXICANS
    Large Penises, Great Athletes-ASIANS
    Excel at Math-NATIVE AMERICANS
    No Sense of Humor, Love Hasselhoff-BLACKS
    Make Good Prize Fighters, Gardeners-INDIANS
    Love Rap, Teenage Pregnancy-CANADIANS
    Make Great Doctors, Computer Techs-THE IRISH
    Uptight, Have Bad Breath-BRAZILIANS
    Terrible Drivers-GERMANS
    Treat Women Like Property, Are Religious Zealots-SWEDES
    Own Convenience/Liquor Stores-THE BRITISH
    Constantly Drunk, Love Casinos-JEWS
    Constantly Drunk, Love the Celtics-ARABS

            stereotypes are based on truth. Or at least common opinion. Are they not?

                Stereotypes are over-generalizations or fallacies. Therefore by definition not true.

                Attaching a broad definition on a whole ethnicity has zero % chance of being true. You may see a bunch of African Americans guys who rap in a music video, but by no means does that define the whole ethnicity. Get out of your sheltered lifestyles, and meet different people. No way you come out the other side saying every person of this ethinicity is.....

                  Koreans have big heads.
                  Most Filipinos have a mole on their face.

                    Although I agree with sentiment, saying that a stereotype of an ethnicity has zero percent of being true is plain silly.

                        For a stereotype to be true, it would have to fit every individual of that ethinicity.

                        Name a trait, that is not scientifically verifiable, which fits every person of any specific ethnicity?

                            On the contrary. A stereotype by definition is... A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing: "sexual and racial stereotypes" So it does not have to define every individual but merely be an opinion held by many regarding the said group.

                              I would argue that the above definition only asserts what I have posted, but lets not waste time arguing.

                              Black guys, and above average sized cocks

                                Of course it's like a higher percentage, but not always true.

                                      So if every black guy in the world is not blessed with an above average rooster then obviously this sterotype has no merit?

                                            Im confused now (not hard to do with me unforntunately) but are we saying than that the sterotype of blacks having above average cocks is correct or no.

                                            I would have to lean yes, I knew a couple girls that were nurses in Atlanta and this conversation has been had a few times and they all stated while it is not 100% there is definitely something to the rumor.

                                            I then showed them my penis and they just laughed.
