What Are Some Stereotypes About Athletes

What are the MOST common stereotypes?

Stereotypes are hilarious, especially because stereotypes are so arbitrary, oftentimes there are stereotypes that are complete opposite (i.e. mexicans - lazy and hardworkers). Here's some stereotypes I could come up with. Obviously I think these are not accurate assumptions for groups of people, but these are commonly held:

Culture Stereotypes?

Well I'm probably not the best person to ask about this because I happen to belive that most stereotypes are basically true (otherwise, the wouldn't have been stereotypes in the frist place).

The reason why things become stereotypes is because more than a handful of people have noticed the same thing about more than a handful of a particular group of people that they have shared with other people down the line. Of course not all stereotypes are true for everyone in that particular group, but for the majority of people in that representative group the stereotype seems to be true more often then not.

I believe in the 90%/10% rule. Meaning that for every stereotype, 90% of the people in that particular group being stereotyped fit the stereotype and 10% don't. I base that primarily on my own experiences (as do most people).

Black people can't swim
White people can't dance
Asian people are good at math
Jewish people are greedy
Christian people are hipocrytes
Gay men talk with a lisp
British people have bad teeth
The French are a**holes
Black people like Hip-Hop and R&B music
White people like Rock, Alternative and Country music
Asian people like Pop, Techno and Trance music
Black men have large penises
Asian men have small penises
Black girls have big asses
Black people like chicken and watermelon
White girls are "easy"
White men can't jump
Gay people are promiscuous
Black people are less educated
Asian people are more educated
White people are the most racist
Black people are better athletes

These are all common stereotypes (some positive and some negative) and not everyone in those groups fit the stereotype. But the reason why most people believe them is because these things have been observed by people for years and some ultra PC people just want to deny that fact and pretend that everyone was build the same physically and grows up with the same interests and backgrounds. All of those "stereotypes" are on par with things like

Black people have nappy hair, wide noses and full lips
White people have pale skin, pointed noses and thin lips
Asian people have slanted eyes, lack facial hair and are short

What are some examples of stereotype threat?

Women perform worse on math tests when they think the test will produce gender differences. (Spencer, Steele, & Quinn, 1999)White men perform worse on math tests when they think they are competing with Asians. (Aronson et al., 1999)Black students perform worse than white students on the GRE when they think that the test is measuring their abilities, but when black students are told that the test is not measuring their abilities (when told the test is not yet valid or reliable), they perform just as well as white students. (Steele and Aronson, 1995)Black athletes do worse than white athletes when they are led to believe that a game of miniature golf tests "sport strategic intelligence," but when the test is framed as a measure of "natural athletic ability," the white athletes do worse than the black athletes. (Stone et al., 1999)Female chess players perform worse than male chess players when they are aware that they are playing against a male opponent. When they are (falsely) led to believe that they are playing against another woman, they perform just as well as the male players. (Maass, D'Etolle, & Cadinu, 2008) -- from Tracy Chou's answer for Why are men better at chess than women (at the GM level and all other levels)?

What are the major stereotypes people have about Bosnia and Herzegovina and to what extent are they true?

In Croatia everybody knows that the war is over, we have different stereotypes. First one is that its kind of a failed state, where things barely function, and there is a rocky truce between the three sides which makes it hard to believe that things will.ever function as they should. We hear stories of the ridiculous amount of trash.and.plastic bags everywhere, to the point where the beautiful nature is spoiled. Also there is a stereotype that its filled.with black industry (coal mines, iron foundries) which makes the air smoggy and smelly in the narrow valleys. The people are thought to be kinda backward and rustical (the accent plays a huge part in this) but very warm, hospitable and direct, with a unique sense of humour that is famous in the region. There is the stereotype of drinking coffee for five hours on a small bench in front of the house, everybody eating cevapcici and pite all the time.Bosnia was really the heart.of Yugoslavia, the only place where it truly.lived to its full extent, and was really cherished. Everybody was devastated about what happened there, even people from war torn areas in Croatia feel like the Bosnians had it much worse. As a consequence Bosnians are welcome pretty much everywhere, with few people holding a grudge with them.
