  Politically correct, it isn't----but do you think there's any validity to "stereotyping" people or backgrounds???

  I listened to a radio show commentator who is black, telling his audience that it seems that black men take responsibility less seriously than other nationalities. He also said Asian women were more subservient than other women, especially black women.

  stereotyping IMO is wrong. You can't judge a whole nation based on a few people. I was guilty of this for a while myself. I thought all Muslims were bad based on the few who take it to the extreme. (Tawhid and Jihad) Not anymore. Not since I met someone who is and started asking questions about his religion. He isn't from Iraq, but from Jordan, but he is still Muslim non the less and he is a very nice person from what I know of him so far.

  I try my best to keep an open mind, but, it isn't always easy.

  I wouldn't have known it if you didn't tell us: proof that stereo types are myths.
