There is a fine line between generalizations and stereotypes but if we can all be mature/tactful about that, we may learn some things and get some insights. I think it's silly to be PC just for the sake of being PC, esp if it hurts fair analysis and if it is handled in a tactful manner.
For example, funny story, when I was working at an old job back in Asia, I would sometimes handle written complaints from customers and for a while I was freaking scratching my head wondering why the hell their English was SO atrocious when the ladies' surnames were the typical Caucasian ones, e.g. Smith, Thomson, Johnson, etc. I later realized it was because they were actually Asian women who thought they were hot crap marrying into them (not that there is anything wrong w that either  ) and that attitude disseminated into everything they got angry about. Holy moly I couldn't remember one exception otherwise, it really seemed like that was the overwhelming, prevalent profile for the Asian Karen. (Ofc, I wouldn't say it out loud, that would be something in my memory bank irl but since I'm just killing time here, I decide to drop this little nugget lol.)  |
People get uppity real quick innit?
