What Is The Difference Between Being Politically Incorrect And Stereotypical?
Filed in Category Politically Incorrect Jokes
You know, such as racism, ageism, sexism, and homophobia, they all seem to be used in both, as analogies to predict false statements of a certain individual as being part of a specific group, no matter what that individual thinks, as it only matters to the person whose predicting the false statements, as a joke, reference, or as to what they may think is true, but is really false to others. I still don’t get what the difference is to being politically incorrect and stereotypical, do they mean the same thing, or do they have different meanings of being prejudice against a certain group or culture?

Stereotyping people is when you make stupid generalizations about groups of people (i.e. All Asian people are short). While a large percentage of people from various Asian subcultures tend to be of small stature and build, there are plenty of tall Asian people (Ken Watanabe is 6′1″ with his fine self).
Being politically incorrect is when you make offensive stupid generalizations about groups of people (i.e. All Asian people look alike). Aside from looking “Asian”, the various Asian subcultures look nothing like each other. The Chinese look nothing like the Japanese, who look nothing like the Koreans, who look nothing like the Vietnamese, who look absolutely nothing like the Indians, who look nothing like the Laotians, who look nothing like the Filipinos, etc.
