Do you stereotype?

Mono-typing must be very slow.

I stereotype terrorist bombings to be religiously motivated. I.e. the Boston marathon backpackers. It couldn't have been the IRA, so only one thing left - radical Muslims in their own twisted interpretation of the Qur'an!

That's not stereotyping, it's being ignorant and uneducated.

Yes I do.

And I don't do the usual trendy thing of recognising I've stereotyped, feel guilty and then consciously act against it.

I just reserve judgement usually til the situation has passed.


Eg if there are some aggressive, swearing black youths ahead, I'm going to stereotype them as scum and will do so til they apologise for being in the way/get out of the way without comment or hassle. After that I'll say "that stereotype was unfair but it kept me alert".

Or more likely.

"bloody swine"

;p

This is a bit weird. What about "white" youths doing the same? Why did you even need to bring up their race at all?

I always use both hands.

Yeah I type with 2 hands. Stereo-type, get it?


I'll get my coat...

Too late.
