i just formed this site about abolishing boarders and getting to know other cultures through media and non main stream movies (it';s like a movie club , with a weekly movie provided) "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character," said Martin Luther Kingi don't think the world knows my culture and i don't think we know the rest of the world .... our vision is messed up by all the stereotypes... so will you give the site a chance because it needs your supporthttp://www.freewebs.com/bellabambina248/index.htm

didnt click on the link but thats a really good idea!! well done, stereotypes SUCK!

Stereotypes can surely cause problems.... but come on now, don't B.S.... Some stereotypes evolve for a reason....

its unfortunate we have stereotypes. some people don't understand the differences between race/nationality and culture.a world without stereotypes would be ideal! watching a block party piece on last night's news (7/4/08) brought tears to my eyes because the neighborhood is multiracial, it's an annual event for the street that was started by a neighbor years ago who is recently deceased. the people interviewed spoke of their neighbors as being and treating each other like family, including those new the street. unfortunately, there will always be those that will hold onto stereotypes as their belief system, instead of learning otherwise about another person or culture. we all have likes and dislikes, however, that shouldn't stop us from treating each other respectfully and with understanding. i don't disagree with one who says they're down for their culture first as long as they allow another the same feeling...and this is where understanding can begin. when we realize an understanding of our own, we can begin to accept each others commitments, contributions, failings, and aspirations. no one can claim an understanding of their own if they choose to hold onto negativity and perpetuate that negativity toward others. positve change begins with the individual, and is shared by passing it along to others.

People are too serious these days. Stereotypes are funny and we should all take it for granted that we are all so different and our cultures vary. Stereotypes unite us with laughter of ourselves.One thing that disturbs me is that people act like stereotypes are nothing, when actually many of them are closer to correct then you think. Stereotypes are actually a well educated guess, look what stereotypes do you think of Swedes: blonde hair, blue eyes(true: 70-80% of Swedes have blonde hair, and the same for blue eyes). So stereotypes can be true and fun so lets just all cool down and laugh for once(liberals ...hmm)
