But my original statement was a general, blanket statement. Generally speaking it's not a stereotype.
can you explain how this differs from a stereotype?
again, do you think if you had said "Black women don't age well" that it wouldn't have been viewed as a stereotype? and gotten you many hate responses?
This distinction between stereotyping and "Speaking Generally" really confuses me.
btw, when you stated it as "true" it was a stereotype, when you retracted that and said it was your opinion, it's still a stereotype but not as offensive.
Well I'd get my ass beat if I said "black women don't age well" because I'm not black. I'd have all sorts of ppl pummeling me because they'd think I called their momma ugly or they'd think I'm a racist.
What I meant with the generally speaking part is that from my observation it's true so it wouldn't be a stereotype. Obviously I could be wrong. Don't get me wrong - there are always exceptions to everything, but I have yet to meet one or yet to meet a group that defies what I have seen so far. I think it just depends on what your definition of "doesn't age well" means
Main Entry: 2stereotype
Function: noun
Etymology: French stéréotype, from stéré- stere- + type
Date: 1817
1 : a plate cast from a printing surface
2 : something conforming to a fixed or general pattern; especially : a standardized mental picture that is held in common by members of a group and that represents an oversimplified opinion, prejudiced attitude, or uncritical judgment
See #2: In essense, whether or not an opinion is a stereotype is determined not by a single person refusing to acknowledge exceptions he has personally encountered, but rather whether or not the opinion is most likely oversimplified.
Fvck your dictionary

I don't really get the people who say they KNOW ASIANS and they don't age well. My two sisters and I all look like we're still in hs (and i imagine we will for many years to come) and we're ages 23, 29, 30! We all get carded, even for movies. People also can't believe it when they found out my mom is nearing 60 years of age. They think she is maybe 40 (this is after having 4 kids mind you!). I would say on average most asian women look very young for their age (yes, there are exceptions!!). And the ones that look old are probably VERY OLD. Every asian girl I know looks younger than her age. Sure it catches up at some point but way after women of other nationalities do. Isn't that the meaning of aging well? I mean sure if a lady is 60 and she looks 40, that's still aging well even if she looks old! I would dare you to put two ladies of different races next to each other of the same age. On average, I would guess the asian lady looks younger.
PS. and please don't tell me I don't know asian women, I AM ONE!!!! I also live in los angeles, asians galore!! I see my fair share of asians. and just look at how many ppl posted in this thread saying they know asians that look younger than they are. do we need more proof?

Um, are you Asian? I'll assume no, because if you were you'd know Asian women do NOT age nicely. She's 25 MAX.
