Stereotyping vs Racism
So I was looking through a staff report and I saw that Archy mentioned that sterotyping was racism and that sounded wrong to me so I decided to look it up.

This is what I found,



@Archybot Am I misreading something or can you explain to me your reason for saying that… not trying to question your justification but I am just curious

This was the thread btw https://www.badlion.net/forum/thread/88808

Stereotyping is basically believing something is true based on other things that have happened.From that thread, that guy 'assumed' all arabs were rich just because they are a super power of oil. THAT IS RACISM.

He said Arabic people are rich. That indicates that he is referring to the entire race. I would mute him for that.

@Syzaro thats like saying that american people are obese, that's just a general statement that some people believe to be true, they are not referring to the entire country when saying that.

Well you can think of it as the entire country and you can think of it as only some people.

Imo by that guy saying 'Arabs are rich' that was sterotypical and racist.

Yea but in no way, shape or form is that person saying that their race has superior qualities which is what the definition of racism is

Arabia is a 3rd world country and quite a lot of people are poor around there.

the difference is that racism makes a stereotype based on race, religion, or national origin whereas stereotyping can be based on any characteristic.

This is racism as the muted person made a sterotype based on race. THAT is racism. The mute was justified I think.
