" Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason; theres some validity to it. The majority of the race you are talking about fits the stereotype.
Do you agree or disagree and why?

I agree. I think that stereotypes originated from actual actions or scenarios. Like black ppl and Kool Aid. Well smurf if you go into their house I almost GUARANTEE there's some grape Kool Aid up in there LOL I know there is at my house!! But I think a lot are just funny.

I agree, except for the phrase "the majority." I would also add that stereotypes are often outdated but stick around all the same.

I agree, for the most part. There are some stereotypes that came about simply by others passing around false information and people choosing to believe it without doing actual research.
BUT, I don't think that gives anyone the right to play into it. A lot of people love bringing up stereotypes of other groups, but hate it when it is done to them. A person should be given the chance to prove themselves as an individual. If at that point, they fit the stereotype, well...

I said disagree, just because of the majority part.
I don't feel the MAJORITY of people act the same, based on race/creed/orientation whatever. A few people act that way, and ruin it for the many.

This.

I disagree. Stereotypes are self fulfilling prophecies, IMO. If a white guy listens to hip hop and likes chicken and speaks with a lot of slang, people will say he's "acting black" even if he's just being himself....people don't act a certain way based on the their race, maybe their religion....
