Our stereotypes become self-fulfilling


Why do stereotypes exist? Could it be the conscious mind processing massive amounts of information such as knowing that an extremely small section of the population commits 60% of property crime and 40% of violent crime. Could factual information be shaping our stereotypes? Or is it just good old damn racism?

You do realize that you’re proving him correct, right?

Even if he had a rap sheet that was 10X worth, there is no defense for gunning him down in a residential neighborhood.

Read my posts on this topic. That’s precisely what I’ve been saying dummy.

Self-fulfilling? Because I factually perceive that someone is inherently more of a threat is proven true is a self fulfilling stereotype.

Why because of what I perceive and that they are more of a threat based on percentages which is backed up by statistical fact is why they turned out to be more of a threat.

Just because I correctly perceive someone to be a threat in no way causes them to become a threat which would be a self-fulfilling stereotype.

Just because I perceived someone to be more of a threat doesn't change my interaction with them unless they actually turn out to be a threat.
