I fit the internet SJW stereotype to an uncomfortable degree, but I don’t really identify with it (which makes sense, given that it’s a shallow idea of a person designed by people who dislike them).
At the same time, I absolutely do not fulfill the stereotype of the American in Germany, and people are often very surprised when they hear that I am.
Do you fit or break a lot of stereotypes?
We all do. Stereotypes contain kernels of truth, which do define groups to a certain extent. At the same time, no one fits the bill absolutely perfectly. So, it’s all a matter of perspective and standards. Stereotypes provide general rules of thumb that can be just as harmful as they are helpful. Knowing where to stop applying them is the real artistry.
