PBH steriotyping

on this site the general sway is that colombiano´s are aggressive, unfaithful, good dancers, gringo hating, greasy haired, lazy, and have some sort of underground connection.

the sway on colombiana´s, is there also aggresive, unfaithful, good looking, big bummed, good dancers, with children, and love gringos.

i admit that i steriotype too, and i enjoy it, its like a false sense of understanding people.

what things did i miss?

For one second I thought you were talking about stereotyping, the act of typing with one finger from each hand. It can also be accomplished by the accomplished, with the use of one toe on each foot, this use of feet is quite a feat. The really accomplished can accomplish this almost unaccomplishable feat with one finger up their nose by the use of a finger on the other hand and the simultaneous use of a toe from either foot. Quadratyping is an altogether different hands on feat using the hands and feet all at the same time!

But now I see you were talking about steriotyping.

Nevermind.....

I am also a gringo hater, to specify it further a US gringo hater.
The sad thing is that the gringo haters are usually right in doing so.

I hate stereotyping, That is That is one of the reason We Colombians have problems abroad, Everybody thinks we are drug dealers. If you stereotyped somebody you never going to get to know the real person or "CULTURE".

Polytyping... Generalization, of which stereotyping is a form, is necessary in almost every aspect of life, the key is to be aware that they are generalizations and as such, may be inaccurate.

And Kernow, I wouldn’t worry just because a pretentious "miss manners" doesn’t have an imagination or a sense of humor...

Hey, what are you dissing me for, Nato? I didn't even post anything stupid on this thread.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.
