Re: A question I never thought I'd ask

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT - Wouldn't a stereotype be presuming that ALL Indians eat curry, or that ALL Irish are heavy drinkers? The statement was "an Indian who eats a lot of curry" and the Irish statement was "if they are heavy drinkers". I suppose you're decrying the fact that the ethnicity was mentioned at all.

I'm of an Irish background, and I don't drink at all (therefore, don't smell of stale beer), but I understand where the stereotype came from. The trick is that you don't apply it to everyone, but there is a reason why it became a stereotype.

No idea about the pineapples, though.

Mentioning the ethnicities still evokes the stereotype, no matter how it is phrased. Why do you have to mention Indians or the Irish? Why couldn't the OP just have said 'someone who eats a lot of curry' or 'someone who is a heavy drinker'. The way it is phrased almost implies that one has to be both Indian AND eat a lot of curries to smell like curry, and that anyone else who eats a lot of curries would smell normal.

Well the trouble is that most traditional Indian Families do eat a lot of curry, because it is their traditional staple and there is nothing wrong with that. And Irish do tend to be heavily biased towards being heavy drinkers, for the same reason. it isn't unfair to note that correlation.
