A Racist and Double D

[GoblinXXX]

As a nerd, I know very well that nerd stereotypes DO exist. Go to any comic con or Trek convention, and see how many fat bearded guys with glasses you see. Not everybody, but you will see a LOT.

lmao the watermelon is so not as worse as the thief. When an old white lady clutches her purse when she first sees you, it hurts 1,000x times more than a person offering you a piece of watermelon.

[GoblinXXX]

@TheDynastQueen I always felt the "watermelon and fried chicken" thing was really more of a southern stereotype that black people started taking offense to. We ALL fucking love those things down here-- Because they're DELICIOUS. I'd hate to think I'd have to pretend not to like a food because other people expect me to like it. Who the hell CARES?

stereotypes are fun

I used to share the same sentiments with these guys about Arabs, until I went to some middle-east countries for a few months and I came back a changed man.

Do not believe everything you read and watch in the news, the events that takes place and situations on the news may be reported but that's only skin deep.

Adam is a very fresh common sense slap in the face for a lot of political corretors.

I hate finland...ha ha ha........a-holes...where where they when I was in Nam......

[gje313]

people become nervous when someone like Adam Carolla states obvious things which society frowns upon looking at honestly and with an objective viewpoint. Adam clearly states there are general stereotypes about every group and that there are exceptions too within it. But don't let the PC police, whether liberal or conservative, hear you attack their group of interest and who they pour their hearts into.

[chesterdouglas]

Adam Carolla is not only a racist, but also an idiot. Sadly, he is also not funny enough to overcome these obstacles.

[greenwall100]

Name another comedian funnier than Adam Corolla, ":Crickets" Thats what i thaought, now shut your mouth.

[italoirish888]

Adam's point about stereotypes being true flies in the face of many obvious examples. Lots of untrue stereotypes stick around for a variety of reasons. For hundreds of years, people believed that Jews drank the blood of Christians. They believed blacks were actually monkeys and were intellectually inferior. These stereotypes lasted, and in some cases, still persist. That doesn't make them true.

[jobiwankanobi]

There is a big difference between stereotypes and misconceptions.

[italoirish888]

Oh really? Use the examples I provided and enlighten me.

[jobiwankanobi]

@italoirish888 Uhh...okay. ALL of the examples you provided are misconceptions, not stereotypes. Stereotypes are most often associated with characteristics of a group (be they true or not true), rather than being derived from anecdotal accounts (be they true or not true).

[italoirish888]

@jobiwankanobi uhh....ok. You formed a conclusion without providing any support for it. Is it a stereotype or a misconception to say that "blacks are intellectually infererior". This statement is based on anecdotal evidence. Talk to any southerner in the 1960's and he could give you all kinds of anecdotal evidence of african Americans' lack of intelligence. Yet science has long since concluded this to be largely untrue.

[jobiwankanobi]

@italoirish888 It is a misconception to say that. But you do make a point, that the line is very blurry. And I am not saying that either one is okay or more valid than the other. I am just saying that one person is more likely to develop a misconception from a single anecdotal experience that he/she has had, whereas stereotypes usually form from a more collective experience (i.e. a characteristic rather than a single event) that many people tend to believe....even if as a whole it is not true

[rubrbandball]

I also wish Adam was president.
