What is stereotyping?

a perception of a person or thing that applies those attributes most commonly associated with the group that such person or thing belongs to, regardless of whether that perception is true. This word has gained a negative connotation and is more commonly associated with discrimination, when in reality it is a natural mechanism used by people to better understand the world. This is why when someone says "hockey player" you think of a white guy, or "rapper" and you think of a black guy, or "city" and you think of things like skyscrapers.

Stereotypes are often good and helpful things, but discrimination on the basis of prejudice/stereotypes often has negative effects.

Stereotyping - what is it?

An overly simplified, negative description of a people group with a high statistical probability of being true that is inexpedient to progressive platforms. The new regressive left would like you to blind yourself from the fact that these may ring true, which is preventing people from coming together to have an honest dialogue about causality and realistic solutions. Note that the term "stereotype" will not be applied to overly simplified and probable generalizations that are either supportive of progressive policy conclusions, or demonize/dismiss the opposition. Examples of these include: "All Republicans are older, wealthy white men." "Trump supporters are uneducated and uninformed." "Women don't make as much as men because of institutionalized sexism."

That's a vicious stereotype about (insert favored minority group), and the fact that people believe it is most of the reason why (insert negative outcome caused by stereotype).

Stereotyping - what does it mean?

A term used to define all people of a certain belief into a mostly negative category that may only reflect a selected few of the racial demographics. All people of all nationalities have been victims of being stereotyped, even those whom have made most of the stereotypes of other people.

Note: Most stereotypes are involuntarily lived out by a small segment of who they are made to offend. Here are a few examples of stereotypes.

1.) That all white women have flat booties.
2.) That all Jews are greedy.
3.) That all blacks are lazy, on welfare, and don't believe in marriage before child barring.
4.) That all Asians are good at math.
5.) That all Arabs are angry people that like to blow shit up.
6.) That ALL black men are hung like elephants.
7.) ALL white men are hung like squirrels.
8.) All blacks crave chicken and watermelon.
9.) All blacks are hostile and will quickly bust a cap in your ass.
10.) That all Mexicans like to drive around 15-17 deep in a small ass car.
11.) That all white people get angry when they cant get jobs and see others moving ahead.
12.) That all Asains like to eat rice and drive slow.
13. That all Irish people are drunks and eat potatoes.

These are just a few..however not everyone live this lifestyle and therefor should be judged on individuality instead of being grouped as a whole.

Stereotyping

Usually the truth about a certain culture, ethnicity, or genre of human life. But we use words like "Stereotypes" to cover up the truth so it can be "Politically Correct"

Stereotyping

The single most pointless use of Urban Dictionary.

**most stereotypes are true in some cases. some are mostly true, some not at all

there is also no point bitching about stereotypes, because in the end they are pretty harmless.

it just gets annoying as hell when people define something just in defense, but then go define something else with some obvious stereotype

April 2, 2000
Guy from Georgia on Urban Dictionary:
word:California
definition:State full of uptight self centered pricks and posers who come from other states to look cool, sucky hot weather, no natural plants
example:cali sucks ass
source:da_man

April 20,2000
Guy from California(in defense)
word:California
definition:the best state ever, all the hottest chicks, best weather. Nicest most open mind peopples ever, but often stereotyped by ignorant redneck pricks like da_man as being self centered. Go back back to your ttrailer park, jackss.
