Stereotypes

[gnosis_within]

politicians are liars

asians are highly intelligent

americans are lazy

white people can't dance

black people are more athletic

christians are hypocrites

muslims are warmongers

computer programmers are nerds

the list goes on and on.......

many people are quick to dismiss these claims because they do not apply to everyone in a group, but even if you put the word 'most' in front of the statement, people will still dismiss it. is this just a result of the political correctness movement, or do these stereotypes really not apply to groups of people?

i no longer care about issues concernig stereotypes.

instead, i have adopted the following cliche:

stereotypes: can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

This is why political correctness soon became a stereotype itself.
