do you think stereotypes are ever good? (1 Viewer)

[NBW]

i think in terms of u being safe, some are valid. if i go in the metro in Porto and i see a bunch of dudes dressed like typical street guys i just make myself a bit more alert. if i have my girlfriend with me, i might take her purse or put her behind me. on the same note if a guy like that comes and asks me a question, ill gladly answer
the problem imo is when people take it beyond just the aware fact. calling cops on someone based on how they look, without actually seeing anything happen...
but i dont think theres anything wrong with u looking at someone, feeling a bit weird about their vibe and watching out. basically like seeing a pitbull on the street without a leash and just making sure he dont attack u lol

I don't really think stereotypes are good at all. Most of them are usually rooted in some type of prejudice.. even if you're not consciously aware of it.

Yea some are fine I agree
If I'm alone at night I won't get close to random men, might be a stereotype but better to be careful sometimes

Agreed

For me personally, yes. I'm a woman who doesn't know anything about cars and I appreciate when the people doing my oil changes/car repair explain things in detail to me.

i agree on that, no denying it. what im saying is some have value for u to be aware. u are not gonna disturb anyone by just being aware imo

different type of stereotype that i wasnt thinking of, but ig its useful at times. i love when people stereotype me about not knowing shit, when i actually dont lol

Frankly, they dont bother me much, even if I know the worst stereotypes to ever exist are related to my area. I see that as kind of a first world problem.

cant name a single stereotype about mexicans, samoans, or people will bpd that are positive
none of the stereotype thats i am "closest related to" are accurate or positive

In yours, but generally, ive only met people who say stuff like "do you like fruit" "do they wear clothes there?" ect. ect, and they make it out to be a 3rd world country when samoa is actually sort of developed, not in metro city type sense but we're not all illiterate and dumb

I am middle eastern, and half Russian but stereotypes about Russians arent as bad.

 

[eclipsoul]

nah, fuck them. one of the main stereotypes about my country is that we're perpetually drunk and it's damn annoying to see people see literal alcoholism as a quirky personality trait and not a serious issue that leads to more serious issues.
