Originally posted by lordofseas View PostThat doesn't make it wrong. A stereotype isn't automatically wrong, because it's propagated so much, but because it's either factually correct or incorrect. Small towns are generally higher in church attendance, due to the more aged population, who tend to be more religious than the younger population. Gun ownership is more prevalent in rural areas than urban areas, and even in Britain this is obvious.

Careful, you are on a slippery slope. Do you want the little errors to be let to slide or not? You are now basically saying you think he did do it to be insulting. That is a whole different animal than a slip of the tongue.
There are all sorts of discrimination. It is not just about Race, Sex and Color. There is also age, weight, and class discrimination. Do you think it was an honest faux pas or do you think it was intentional?Posting at.............

Well, as I do not live in the US, I won't even try to back it up in the US.
HOWEVER.
IF the majority conform to the "basic tennants" of the observation, no matter where it is, it is a self inflicted stereotype, and you have no reason to compain. Where the diffence lies is in being able to *remove* the stereotype when dealing with an *Individual*, as opposed to a *group*.sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth

If it had been intentional it would be no different than saying the African Americans are too busy at KFC, the Italians are too busy knocking each other off or eating pasta or the Jewish are too busy pinching pennies to be bothered to know the real issues and be unbias. Those would be completely offensive and rightfully so. It is not a self inflicted stereotype, it is their religion.Posting at.............
