[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6279858, member: 8835"] well, here in the US, the stereotype in schools is that it's the asian kids with the best test scores, and most of them are driven hard by their parents and take violin lessons (or some other musical instrument) like all stereotypes, there is some truth to the matter. Not that ALL asians are that way, but that more of them do have better math scores, than other demographics. And that's the first mistake in folks who get offended by a "positive" stereotype. While somebody saying "black people are better at basketball" is being overly broad and obviously working with a stereotype, the fact is, you see more black guys on a basketball team than white. The statement is obviously not about EVERY black person. But instead it should be take as a generalization that there's an inordinate amount of people in that group who exhibit that trait than other groups. Laymen don't speak in precise technical terms, listeners need to chill out and see the grain of truth in what's being said. [/QUOTE]
