<< Furthermore, I think that more than a few people on this list
seem to not have the ability to distinguish between a stereotype based on
a foundation of crap and cultural traits based on valid sociological
evidence. >>
sounds to me like your assessment of stereotypes being "based on a foundation
of crap" is a rather debateble topic in itself-- and to tell you the truth
your personal feelings regarding how you 'personally' view the definiton of
stereotypes has nothing to do with the conversation at hand.. it just propels
us into an entirely different debate..
(and anyway, aren't "cultural TRAITS"--as you call them-- simply stereotypes
made soiologists???!!) Touche.
