Quoting catwoman

 

I would like to protest against this quite wrong and ugly stereotype. Please... challenge your own stereotyping as well (not referring here only to my love mltm, but in general). There are stupid and ignorant people in every country, US is not unique. And there are lots of intelligent and very brilliant people in the US as well. Using such stereotypes is, I think, quite wrong.

 

 

(for some reason I cannot type outside ´your´ box, I guess we do belong together CW )

 

Anyway, yes it is a quite wrong and ugly stereotype, but to be honest I think that is why she used it.  At least that is how I read it.

Well.. I have not followed the messages before, and I´m sorry if I misjudged the post of my lovely mltm... it was really just a general statement, not connected to the thread really.

 

P.S. I´m sorry darling if I took it wrong what you wanted to say. xxx

Actually what I did there was not stereotyping, I just referring to this one particular girl "the famous blonde" http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7-1sn7o0j8A  who I  thought nearly everyone knows.

bUT I agree with you, I usually avoid to use stereotypes as much as possible. (though the magnitude of the stupidness and ignorance among americans is significantly higher than in any other developed countries)

 Aww to prove this claim... I´ll search a way to prove it, but at the moment I can just rely on my observations and other people´s opinions which I find quite enough.

And have a look at the video: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE

I mean in the most developed country of the world, this much of dumbness isn´t it a bit too much??

How sad that someone who claims to be so educated would make such an arrogan, ignorant, and stereotypical comment.  Can´t wait to see your research!!   {#lang_emotions_laugh_at}

 hehehe I was prepared to get some attack. Sorry if I offended some americans, but as I stated, not all americans are dumb which I guess is the majority (that is not dumb), but just it´s something serious to have such a big amount of dumbness in a very developed country. ýt just tells that there´s something wrong in th system.
