Why do people make blanket statements when it comes to a racial group?

13 Comments

Like, I think that's what's causing tension bc people get annoyed by the blanket statements. If people specified who they were talking about, there would be less arguments and less angry people. Like if the statement you're making doesn't apply to every member of a racial group, specify who you're pertaining to. Why is that so hard for people?

    Racism is the most vile, despicable, and disgusting creation of mankind, propagated religious morons and their evil gawd. I'm fully against this kind of ignorance, which is why I only mock religious people, Australians, and conservatives. Because I don't believe in making foolish generalizations!

    People like to generalize based on race. My mom says that all Hispanic people have bad tempers, all black people are liars, and Arabs are all terrorists, or terrorist sympathizers. It's like an "us vs. them" attitude. I wish everybody got along, but feeling like that won't prevent people of all colors from being racist.

        No, there are groups of white people she dislikes too. She doesn't really like people in general.

    How do you mean?

    If you mean the statement "There was a gay black gentlemen standing in the club, he came up and told me to give him my wallet, I said no its was my wallet and he punched me in the gut and said he wanted me to be his new Boy-toy" that is just being descriptive. It does not mean you are saying all gay black people are bad. Just that he happened to be a gay black man.

    If you mean "All black people are horrible, always in their tricked out catalacks, head rags and baggy jeans shooting up the neighborhoods. I hate black people". They could either mean most blacks they see or that they have a preconceived notion they believe all black people fit in.

    Authors note: No I do not dislike blacks or trying to attack black people by this commit.

    Because all these fucking Blacks, Caucasians, Asians, Native Americans, Australian Aborigenes, Arabs and all the other ones are fucking stupid. That is why they do it.
