Grandpa, no offense, but I`ll reconsider my comment once I
see evidence that people realize what they are really discussing.
If we are going to discuss a psycological function, such
as stereotyping, I would expect some psycological understanding and terms.
So, when did you become king of the thread? The topic is about the extent to which sterotypes are misleading. Psychology is certainly relevant to the discussion, but to discredit people merely because they're not using certain terminology is a bit pointless.

I agree that sterotyping is not a useless thing, and can be positive to a point. But it can easily become a negative thing. If I were to suggest all stereotypes were good, it would practically make me a masochist.
