Cultures are different and so are races and sometimes stereotypes are pretty much correct. Having said that, the vast majority are simply the product of ignorance. If you want to say that generally Asians are usually shorter, blacks are usually faster or any other stereotype that can be backed up by clear proof then that is fine. What I don't think is acceptable is someone saying that "blacks usually work less hard", "you can't trust Eastern Europeans". I will do as much to defend those people as I do to defend some stereotypes that are widely held concerning British people. There is a difference between recognising the fact that cultures and races have differences and holding some ignorant belief that you then use to judge them all.
What you're really saying is you accept Stereotypes that aren't offensive, it not's really to do with how truthful they are. Telling Asians they are generally shorter and black people that they are generally faster runners isn't going to stir many negative responses but if you call a race lazy or untrustworthy then you will.
By the way the tallest man in the World is Asian....

When I was a little lad my Dad told me they were better sprinters because of the lions and tigers in the jungle. :ph34r:

My reading of the situation is, if we can't persuade Benni to agree to improved terms (minus the bloody clause) before the window shuts he'll be gone.
I don't understand a lot of our fans. I follow Rovers news evryday and at least once a week either Hughes or JW states that we are NOT selling McCarthy and yet some people don't belive them. Come on guys have some bloody faith in our club when they make statements.

Why do they sing "pick up the stick"? It doesn't make sense, the original versions is "Go left, go right, go pick up the stride, go left, go right, go left". Also you miss-spelt Pedersen.
