i'M WHITE, AN YES, i CAN'T DANCE.
If I've been stereotyped, it happened behind my back.
Of course there is some truth to many stereotypes.
As time goes on, and generations come and go...so do the stereotypes.
Generalizing is closely related to stereotyping.
It is dangerous, IGNORANT even, to generalize.
Jews are cheap! Blacks are lazy! White people have no rhythm. Asians can't drive! Women belong in the kitchen! Irish people are Drunks! Polish people are stupid! Italians are into Organized crime! Germans are Nazis! Men are insensitive!
Within every group, culture, race, genre, whatever... there are those who have these qualities and those who don't.
It's a slippery slope to stereotype, especially in this age of "Political Correctness"
