back on my pc now   yes that's it!! here's the one with the girl eating cornstarch:   > its only recently that stereotypes became "bad", "prejudice" and "not real" yep. it's part of a general trend in liberal societies to "throw out the baby with the bathwater." they can (often correctly) identified a problem with something, but then they destroy the entire thing, instead of correcting the problem. an example is the way feminism hates men and rants about "the patriarchy" instead of the more reasonable reaction, which is to give competent women access and opportunity, while acknowledging that the majority will still be men. in the case of stereotypes, they are statistically valid; they're just true. but where they are a problem is when you apply a stereotype to an individual. that's immoral. for example, men tend to be taller than women. that's a statistic. it's true. so it's also a stereotype. we even have a slang term, "shorty" for women ...based on the stereotype. what would be wrong would be, let's say you have some job that requires tall people. if you get a resume from a woman and you say, "i'm not even going to interview her because women are short" - that's wrong, and kind of dumb. she might be taller than the male candidates. ...probably not, but she might be. it's wrong to apply the sterotype to an individual. but there's nothing wrong with using statistics to explain group outcomes.
