Stereotype Statements
Brainstorm
Try to avoid statements which could reinforce negative stereotypes or encourage ridicule. Some examples that could be discussed are: 
•	Alsatians are dangerous.
•	Americans are rich.
•	Australians are sports mad.
•	Balmain boys don’t cry.
•	Blondes are dumb.
•	Boys are best at maths.
•	Cats are cunning.
•	French people wear perfume.
•	Germans are mechanically minded.
•	Girls are very sensitive.
•	Italians only eat pasta.
•	Men make terrible patients.
•	Rugby players are thugs.
•	Soccer fans are hooligans.
•	Women make the best cooks.
Discussion
The logic behind these statements could for example be: 
•	Some fans were badly behaved at a match.
It was a soccer match.
Therefore all soccer fans are hooligans.
•	Bill Gates is rich.
Bill Gates is an American.
Therefore all Americans are rich.
•	Mercedes are great machines.
Mercedes are German made.
Therefore all Germans are mechanically minded.
