Q: All this stereotyping?

I find that on this forum there is a LOT of stereotyping. Latest example being 'Do white people look down on other races'. Then there's the Do Chinese people do this or that...

You'll find that generalizations are often pretty true no matter where you are. As always, there are exceptions to the rule. Humans like to generalize. For examine, I just made Scandinavian my Warrior General. Totally generalized. It's so true.

That's what happens when you put a bunch of people who only work like 3 hours a day together on one forum.

Pffft. 3 hour per day overachievers.

  My favourite is the one about how you can't turn a corner without seeing someone taking a dump in the street. Nine years here i've never seen anyone taking a crap, well, except the wife's mother but that was just because she didn't lock the toilet door. That was a BCD. I've seen kids pissing, or rather being aimed at bins or into the curb, and i've seen a few blokes taking a piss, but really not that many and most of those were naked, covered in dirt, and I suspect, not entirely sound of mind, so i'm not going to hurry to judge them for that. In fact i've seen more overweight Americans here than i've seen adults pissing in the street, but it'd be foolish to suggest all Americans are overweight. It's probably only about half, right? 

Mateusz:

Actually, "Fat American" is a pretty popular stereotype. 

 

Also, I've already seen several children pooping in the street, and a man crapping in a bucket.

Stereotypes stem from truth, there are definitely exceptions but again the general idea

so when i say that Chinese worship money that doesn't mean that every Chinese does 

it means that most of the Chinese do Tongue

I never, ever said that 90% of the white men on this board are dirty old codgers who drink themselves to death, cheat on their wives and are Internet bullies to satisfy their repressed egos.  I wish to underline that I never put the figure at 90%,
