That's a hard one, it really will end up on the individual whether they choose to be offended or not. Although, all stereotypes in general can have a negative impact and put unrealistic pressures on certain individuals. Even though we may choose not to believe it, we all do stereotype automatically in many cases - it's been hardwired into our brains in a way, simply by the society we live in or the way we were brought up.marcquelle said:

Yeah, it is a hard one - everyone's going to have a different opinion on it. There's really no right or wrong answer. And you could ask, "Is there such a thing as a positive stereotype?"marcquelle said:
exactly isn't this kind of conversation fun, where something could exist but in such a paradoxial manner.blackglitter said:
Yes, very philosophical lol. Example of a positive stereotype: All asian kids are extremely smartmarcquelle said:
Lol, kind of like in Legally blonde yeah? I go to a selective school and there are a LOT of blonde girls in my grade - the majority are really smart too.marcquelle said:

While they can seem like compliments, I think more often than not, they're stigmas.marcquelle said:
i concur, and thats why teenagers are more likely to rebel, as for this idea forms a lot of the philosophy of teen age years. Also highly influenced by TV eg the OC, 91210 etc or whatever they are called , contain stereotypical characters and plotsblackglitter said:
