I'm not familiar with what the other guy is describing, nor do I have any opinion on this particular topic. I'm just saying that "people of X culture tend to do Y thing more than the average person" is not in itself a hateful or disrespectful comment.
- golemiprague 6y agoI got no problem with a bit of healthy stereotyping, what annoys me that many times it is stereotyping from an American point view, which is only true for the US and many times wrong and ignorant in general. Then this American way of viewing the world is trickling to the rest of the world via culture and it is just plain wrong or nonsensical. Especially when it comes to the way Americans view groups of people like whites includes middle easterners, hispanics must be some Mexican or DR/PR, Italians are mafia or guidos, all this kind of stuff which is very US oriented but has no relation to reality, even in the US itself.
