Serious Business: Stereotypism-ism
Tuesday, October 20, 2009
First a bit from my life. My Exams are over.YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But since everyone is blogging and being pessimistic about their results, I won't bore you. Im gonna be the opposite and say this:
- As you know my jolly friends, my exams are in order and over. I have performed well in this here exam and such as, and is confident of a full attainment of marks, despite the lack of solutions to certain questions during the given assignment.
Now, Back to why this post is being posted(?), Stereotypism-ism.
Now, here's where I draw the line.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See, but seriously, STEREOTYPING IS WRONG, although the word stereo is in it, and as we all know, stereos is the second best way of listening to Taylor Swift behind MP3s which are portable gramophones of the future.
But seriously, Taylor Swift was nominated for 6 awards in the AMAs. And if Michael Jackson wins, Taylor Swift still wins. because MJ cheated. How? he died.
But seriously, I cannot stand people stereotyping. But first let's differenciate stereotypism-ism and non-stereotypism-ism.
- Stereotyping: CALLING SOMEONE SHORT, just because you're abnormally tall. being half-caucasian dosen't make you tall, especially if the other half is any form of asian.
- Not Stereotyping: Asking everyone of different race, religion whatsoever this question: Are you a terrorist? Anyone can be a terrorist. Japanese, Javanese, Chinese, English-ese, Burmese, Taiwanese, Russian, Korean, Mozambiqean, Libyan, SINGAPOREAN, Australian, Austrian, Turkish, Turkies, Hungarians, Hungry people, etc.
Now, just saying : "you so short haha" is not stereotypical. It gets stereotypical when you say that person has Bonapart complex, a 'condition' that dosent exist. Most probably, you could be saying BonapartE complex, but let me break it down to ya...IT DOSENT EXIST EITHER. Shocker ain't it?
It just a NICKNAME for Napoleon Complex, which can be called Napoleon Sydrome, ShortMan Syndrome, Little Man Syndrome or Small Man Syndrome. Not Bonaparte Complex. And you know what? I trust the internet more than any of your sources, unless you source is the internet or yours truly.
One more thing, calling Napoleon short is stereotypical. Napoleon was of average height during HIS time. The guy who drew his portraits werent any taller. So thank you for calling my friend average heighted. I know your jealous that he can touch the floor, but please, don't TRY to stereotype, TRY!
I rest my case. Don't try to outwit the Anax of Awesome, only few can do it :D

About this Tagbox:
Created in..uhh... This tagbox has been the MAIN EVENT sideline of this blog.
Notable taggers: Joshii, Yogesh, Daniel, Lee Jiang, Wang Kai, Nicholas,
The famous 'Battle of the Big' also took place on this very tagbox.Ancient texts say that this war was started in the 1600s
and the leaders back in the day passed on their war knowledge to what we know today.
A treaty famously known as the 'You Belong With Me' treaty due to the post related to it,
was signed, but only by one side. The other side made the war worse instead.
As you can see censorship is OFF. There is a reason for that

Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now
