Amazing Facts

Have you ever thought any of these statement ever applied to “other people” who were not like you?

Join the crowd. These same stereotypes have been applied to “other people” for at least 400 years!

  • They are over-sexed
  • They are good lovers, better than you are anyway
  • They will seduce your spouse away from you
  • They will rape
  • They will pillage, steal from you, terrorize you
  • They will take your children either mentally or physically
  • They are greedy “gold diggers” and will force you into giving them your wealth
  • They are drunks and drug addicts
  • They have weird, superstitious beliefs
  • They are gullible, will believe anything you tell them
  • They are musical, but in a strange way
  • They are great dancers, have “rhythm”
  • They are super strong or very weak
  • They aren’t very smart, aren’t easy to educate
  • They are good at sports, but unsportsmanlike
  • They are unclean, disease ridden
  • They are fat, but jolly and humorous, or the opposite, thin, solemn and somber
  • They have bad teeth
  • They are lazy–or hard workers
  • They are fine for some jobs but not others
  • They are impoverished, poor, or overbearingly rich with ill-gotten gains
  • They eat far too much of specific foods
  • They wear odd clothing
  • They have strange hairdos
  • They wear overly bright colored clothing
  • They aren’t safe with weapons
  • They have mental or physical health issues
  • They are child-like, behave immaturely
  • They will damage your home
  • They have unusual relationships with animals
  • They should go away and leave us decent folks alone

OK. How many of these have you ever heard applied to:

  • Other gender not yours? Women of Men, Men of Women. Any of LBQTQ?
  • Teenagers, toddlers, or for that matter, the elderly
  • Anyone a different race than yourself
  • Anyone with a religion different from yours
  • Someone in the “other” political party
  • People with skin color different than yours
  • People from a different culture
  • People with a very different lifestyle than yours

Don’t you think it is time we stop stereotyping other people?
