I know stereotypes are a dodgy subject and are often borderline racist, sexist etc etc, but are there any out there (in all honesty) that you consider to be true?

Personally ive always thought that the stereotype that black men are generally faster than white males to be true.

Obviously to make a generaliation about a race is racist, but ive always imagined, wether it be from my experience of real life athletics or those that i see on the TV, that one on one most black males would win a race against a non-black male. Possibly the same applies to women.

Remeber im not trying to offend anyone here, im just curious as to wether there has ever been a time where you could relate someone or something to a stereotype?

I think all stereotypes are generally true. As with anything there will always be plenty of exceptions, not every black man will outrun every white man for example, but stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason, we didn't just make them up.

Also, nothing is racist unless there is malice behind it, so to make any wrong assumptions about black people makes you ignorant at worst, but not racist by my definition.

Stereotypes may have been generally true at a point, but many are dated, based on an obsolete way of thinking, or even on a caricature in pop culture that people in their infinite wisdom take to be a true rendering of how a certain group of people is, behaves, or acts.

So I think there are plenty of exceptions where stereotypes are complete rubbish. Eh?

I agree in part with your second comment, though, Samurai.

You mean one can't make something up for a poor reason?

Okay...I'll put one out there.

I have plenty of Chinese friends and they all, and admittedly so, can't drive worth a shit.

Men from Essex all have dyed blonde hair and drive souped-up Fiestas, women from Essex are all tarts.

This one is surprisingly accurate.

What about Sony, Mitsubishi, and Panasonic? Those are some well-known stereo types.
