Sure, I'll go.Profiling, stereotypes, and preconceived notions are a way of life.... we all do it. My question to NT is what assumptions do you make about people you don't know... whether it be in regards to the opposite sex, people of different races/religions, the region a person is from, etc etc....
Please, let's try to have a mature conversation. The thread is not intended to offend anyone or single out particular groups of people. Again, we ALL deal with this in our daily lives and I think it'll be interesting to see which things are universally accepted and which aren't...
examples....
- How do you feel about 'stop and frisk'?
- Do you assume people with tattoos have no chance in corporate America? Would you hire them?
- Does a person's choice of clothing speak reason enough to treat them a certain way?
- Are all women the same -- birds of a feather and not to be trusted?
- Do New Yorkers act like they're superior to other regions?
- Are southerners slow?
Again, we can have a discussion and not be disrespectful to others.
what field are you in?Regarding the tattoos, if I was a hiring manager in the corporate world, if a tattoo is visible then no I would probably not hire them unless the next best is significantly worse. J have nothing against tattoos but if a client comes in it might not be a good idea to have tats showing
Reasons like:reason like?As a New Yorker I do feel that many of us (can't exclude myself from this one) for a multitude of reasons feel we are superior.
And yes, I would say in the NYC area there is a prevalent stereotype that southerners are slow and/or backward (especially when it comes to political choices and social issues).
Not saying it's right, just saying what is.
via the internet, it always seems like NY'ers want to take credit for every trend known to man.... and being more "street smart" than the next region. i get that NY is one of the most populated areas in the country, but so is Los Angeles and all they seem to take credit for is weed and gangs...
I haven't been around that long to know what that means...The bait is strong in this one.....NT monthly decoy account for population control.
I'm not a former NT'er in disguise... the numbers mean something, it's also my twitter and IG handlenah, dfinitely not- I think I know who this is- coraline dunks........ hmmmm.....
he was asked to make this thread in another thread.What do you hope to gain by this thread? You're asking us to post what stereotypes we have about other people
IMO, most of the same could be said for Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles but I've never heard anyone reply "I'm from LA..." to validate their opinion on something lol...Reasons like:
Large amount of diversity
Capital of the world
"You can make it here, you can make it anywhere" mentality
NY Yankees (if you're into baseball)
The fact it's the place they were born
Wealth of the city
Opportunity
...these are the ones that came to mind
what was the point of the Draya thread or the tread about Lil Wayne standing on the American flag?What do you hope to gain by this thread? You're asking us to post what stereotypes we have about other people
