Stereotypes

This isn't an argument about stereotypes themselves, its about whether or not there can be different types of a stereotype throughout different countries.

For example: "American Nerds" vs. "British Nerds"

Joninja was saying that there is a difference there. What I'm saying is that there is NOT. Nerd itself is a stereotype and a clique, and it doesn't matter where you are; it will always be the same. His argument was that British nerds drink tea and have an accent whilst American nerds play video games and dungeons and dragons.

Fail. All he managed to prove was that the nerds in England also have the British Stereotype applied to them, in in saying that he also rudely stereotyped American nerds as if they ALL play video games and dungeons and dragons. To me, a stereotype will be the same no matter where you go.

Discuss. What do you think?

nerds is the same thing, and can mean a lot of things(like plays games all the time, uses computer all the time, etc...)

Well infact I corrected myself when I said ddo and said I meant d and d first of all then I went on to say about the stereotypical american nerd fantasised over a cheerleader and I said the american nerd stereotype was that they played d and d not that all american nerd pay d and d. Get it right mate.

I do have it right. I never said ddo, I said d and d.

I'm sure the British nerd goes for the hot girls too, you never said what the British nerds go for. And yes, I'm fully aware that you meant the stereotype, I said that you stereotyped (in the chatbox) all nerds as playing video games and d and d. There is more than one kind of nerd, you know.

no you don't have it right as you got the idea of them playing video games from when I said ddo on the cbox.And british nerds don't go for cheerleaders as there are none in britain.And I didn't say all nerds do this or that or so on I said that the stereotype was that they did that.Just cos it is the stereotype doesn't mean they all do it.

Well, either way. The point is that what you're saying is that there is a big difference between nerds of different countries. There is not, the differences that ARE there are only because of the country you're living it. They have nothing to do with the stereotype itself.

I'm get emotional. And I didn't say everyone in the country was like that. I said stereotypes don't change in different countries, the only thing that changes are the minor things like what they drink, which don't count.
