http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype#Stereotypes
There we go! Plenty of links to go around. Here is my new favorite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_stereotypes The worst part is it's probably one of the better stereotype articles in regards to citations! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_stereotype This also has some content that needs to be looked at. I just removed a statement from [[Western stereotypes of West and Central Asians]] that stated: "Central Asia especially the Former Soviet-bloc, is often seen as a backwards region, where everyone lives on subsistence farming, and everyone has strange customs." Uncited, of course. -Sarah On Sat, Nov 26, 2011 at 11:55 AM, Sarah Stierch <sarah.stie...@gmail.com>wrote: > I just cleaned out the entire section.
