Self-correction is, supposedly, one of the hallmarks of true sciences. Failure to self-correct in the face of overwhelming data is, to me, a threat to the scientific integrity of our field. Perhaps, therefore, most of us can agree that, with respect to the longstanding claim that “stereotypes are inaccurate,” a little scientific self-correction is long overdue.
And even still, nothing will ever get these people to admit that some factors of human development are at least partially based on biology. So much for psychology being a science.
This blog entry is based heavily on three sources: Jussim, 2012; Jussim et al, 2015; and Jussim et al, 2016.
So basically he wrote an article about his own research and tried to present it as the scientific consensus of the field. Christ.
Also it doesn't even matter if stereotypes are generally true, Americans are an individualistic people and natural do not like to be judged as a group. If rather than trying to treat each person as a blank slate, you apply stereotypes to people, and that stereotype turns out to be wrong, do not be surprised if they consider you to be a douchebag.
Furthermore, if stereotypes are inherently accurate, why do they change? You should read some of the shit written about the Chinese when they first got here, they were considered uniquely unassimiable into American life. Now for whatever reason they're the model minority. Pretty odd right? If these stereotypes truly represented something inherent about the Chinese people and their culture, you would not expect them to shift. But they did. Go figure.

It doesn't matter if something is true, what matters what people think? Are you a HR lady?

Gay porn is a genre that cuts across all demographics and the stigma that you have to be gay to enjoy it needs to come to an end right now.
