Hey Pandas, Tell Me About An Incorrect Stereotype About Your Religion, Race, Sexuality, Etc. (Closed)

You know... I've heard and read more bad stuff about so called "christians" than Muslims. Strange

Is it true that the Kurds in Iraq practice widespread FGM (female genital mutilation)?

We are friends with a dear family from Mosul and they are wonderful people and absolutely hate what these fanatics have done to their city and what they and their children had to witness. And what they had to go through fleeing to Europe. Heart breaking to hear their experiences.

People who think this but not about Christian’s are just idiots. I’m Christian and our history is A LOT worse.

Real question - how do you square your pacifism with many of the directives clearly stated in the Koran, given that many religious and political leaders (like Erdogan) avow that you can't just pick parts of the Koran to follow?

A woman's external sex organs are her vulva, not her vagina - a vagina is the canal, not the external organs. Plus, a vagina (esp once you get past the opening, and not counting the mythical 'g' spot), has little to no nerve endings, so if you want to please a woman, you need to pay attention to the externals.

these are all excellent points. however due to the acidic nature of vaginas and the basic nature of semen, the vagina has to balance out the pH. If the semen is from a single man every time, the vagina can adapt easily. but if the semen is from different men, the vagina has a tougher time attaining pH homeostasis; and the result can be malodorous.

Atheists are more moral than believers because they do good just for the sake of doing good, not in hopes of appeasing some Sky Daddy (or Mommy). If you want to believe in a god or a messiah, that's your business - but please don't try to ram your belief down my throat, and please don't assume that I'm evil just because I don't worship anything.

I am atheist and while I believe that anybody has the right to their religious beliefs I also believe that most organized religions are against human rights and should not be tolerated (not the believers but the organization). Misogyny, homophobia, pedophilia, racism, xenophobia, classism... I havent met a religious figure that was a good person.

I’m an atheist, and my fiancé is a (former) JW - I joke with him that “I can’t believe I fell in love with a creationist” lol, but our beliefs have no bearing on our love and we adore each other to pieces!! 😁❤️❤️

Being atheist just means you don't believe in any gods. It doesn't mean you're evil, and title, and strict. Elsa doesn't mean you hate other people's religions. You could be a very nice atheist, and you could be a very entitled Christian.

My sister's an atheist and is more righteous than many "good" Christians.

And then are a couple of my coworkers that go out of their way to be stereotypical drama queens

Im bi and i dont like anime people say "lol your not bi then"

Your sexual orientation should not define your lifestyle.

i believe segregationnism has left his infamous signature there. I mean i'm european and i hear so many weird things about black-white relationship in the US. like policemen not testimoning about an old case they witnessed because they're afraid of KKK. this sounds unbelievable for us europeans

This is interesting and I wish people wouldn’t stereotype…I could be totally wrong but is a lot of this a class war? I think if anyone of any colour wore preppy clothes or had the right cultural capital they would be accepted by those keeping them down…which is crazy wrong. Is it all about how much ch money you have at the end of the day? Some just always start off with less and are kept right down

Yes. And some rappers does articulate, i'm french and not very good at English, and i still understand their lyrics. Nas, Havoc, Prodigy, Xhibit, The Wu Tang Clan, Snoop, even Busta Rhymes; I don't even know if they have any accent, as a foreign they doesn't sound weird to me.

LOL. Way to represent

People just need to know a little backstory before they bitch and assume

I actually had two friends that had metabolisms so high, they had a hard time retaining body fat and, as a result, had a hard time getting pregnant. Since I was watching everything I ate to lose weight, they knew I kept track of calories and fat closely. They asked me what could help them gain weight without taking in a lot of fat. I said, your three main killers are pasta, potatoes and rice. I told them how much calories were in each and that they all had little to no fat, that the fattening stuff was what you put on it. But I turned them on to Pasta Primavera and adding warm potatoes and rice to cold salad. Both, I am happy to say, have a couple of kids each. Being a heavy person is not an automatic dismissal of the knowledge we have or the hardships we face. We are struggling to be healthy every day. Everyone is different and some have to work harder than others to achieve it.

People need to stop perpetuating the myth that you can exercise away excess body fat; you can't no matter how able you are. It's a myth that the fitness industry makes use of, because if you join a gym and don't lose weight then it must be your fault for not working hard enough; not because it doesn't actually work. That fact is that our bodies are designed to gain body fat and resist losing it, as it is an effective survival trait. Even at a healthy weight we carry twice as much body fat as our closest relative in the animal kingdom; it's what allowed us to leave the jungle and spread across the earth. The only way to lose excess body fat it to eat less calories that we need; which is essentially starvation. Hunger is a powerful feeling which is designed to literally keep us alive, so it's extremely hard to ignore; as much as pain is.

Hallelujah. To this.

That sucks so much!

Being anti racist doesn’t mean you can just yell “I hate white people!” That does literally nothing 😂

Exactly. It is understandable to resent a group that historically hasnt been kind to yours. But generalising and being hateful just means that you are as bad as other bigots. I was told recently how "I am not really white, I am just brainwashed and how whites are all dumb cavemen". My partner used to work with a young man that openly says things like "white women are ok to f**k but you need to anrry a black girl to keep the race pure ". There are bigots everywhere.

I don’t mind that some people think this. I think prejudice is a natural part of being alive and we all engage in it whether we are willing to admit it or not. Good that you try hard to be anti-racist and inclusive, and so do I, but it doesn’t make me angry that people prejudge me… it gives me a deeper understanding of the kind of prejudice that other people are experiencing too.

when was this a stereotype? tell me if im wrong please

If you think all white people are racist, then you need to check your own racism.

I made a typo. It's supposed to say "Satanism does not fall under Paganism."
