i used to not know the stereotypes for other races so i grew up very much confused when ppl made to comments bc where’s the connection?? “indians stink” i imagine stink as a foul smell not them smelling like food sometimes and i’d be so lost bc i’d tell ppl that and they’d say that not a good thing then go and wear strawberry pound cake perfume girl what… same w that asian driver thing except all the bad drivers i see are usually men in their big trucks or just men like i’ve moved around and be in the city in villages etc and it’s always a random white guy in an accident stopping the whole highway like i’ve never seen (outside of when i’m in asia) an asian person in a car accident like where did this come from??? and then the black people being lazy, THEY LITERALLY STARTED THE ECONOMY OF AMERICA AND THE WEST AND CREATED ALMOST EVERYTHING AND THEIR CULTURE IS LITERALLY THE WORLDWIDE TREND AND THEY SEEM TO INVENT SOMETHING NEW EVERYTIME UR CLOTHES AND FOOD AND CHILDREN WERE ALL SUCCESSFULLY PRODUCED BY THEM even stereotypes for women, them being weak i was always lost cuz things like pregnancy and periods gross the boys out and i mean if they watched a video of say their mama giving birth to them they’d cringe in fear the same way we do w say “gore” content it’s the weirdest thing bc yes have the women do all the work and raise someone to be successful and create all these things but let’s tell people they’re weak and dumb and that makes no sense to me how did the wife marry a normal, guy not someone who’s einstein smart or elon musk rich but somehow has a child like that while the dad was at work where tf would it come from especially cuz many women are teachers i’m lost the correlation always has something that says the opposite
same with gay men y’all try to make them seem unmanly the only difference is that they like something else, chris evan’s enjoys acting bon jovi enjoys music they’re still considered masculine men WHATS THE DIFFERENCE it’s really only bc y’all associate them with feminine and feminine with weak but the way you behave doesn’t change ur body if floyd mayweather held a purse for his daughter while she ties her shoe, would he lose all his ability to fight???
there’s no logic to this shit but my point is that people believe it because it supports their bias and enables their ability to be okay with the greed they have bc it’s within reason the greed can be from anything from attention to money to power or resources etc when you see an asian person make a road mistake it allows u to feel superior bc you wouldn’t do that bc ure not asian or not one of those asians but idk bc also many of them have positive stereotypes that possibly is why ppl feel to need to undermine them so asians are straight geniuses in everything but apparently don’t know to stop at a red light? black people are great singers and talented performers in almost everything but they’re lazy and just beg like what???
seriously i think stereotypes are made bc people like to see how much nonsense ppl will believe just bc it supports their bias and then the ppl themselves undermine others and sometimes even themselves and the government doesn’t lay a finger bc y’all did all the work, but i deadass only learned these stereotypes from when i was in school like my parents aren’t american we aren’t into the culture or anything so i was friends with whoever unless there was reason to not be
