Sometimes we are the objects of other people\u2019s stereotypes and sometimes, we are, in fact, the people who actively use overgeneralizations to simplify our social lives. When we use stereotypes, we instinctively categorize others using shared beliefs about a certain target group. But do cultural stereotypes really always make our lives easier, or do they sometimes ruin relationships and harm the relationship between two different cultures? Our mothers told us, not to use stereotypes, but then, some people tell us that stereotypes may be a great trigger for small talk ?Are cultural stereotypes the bridge that connects two cultures, or are they the reason why this bridge between two different cultures is never built?<\/p>\n<p>In our show, three students tell us about concrete situations, where they were the objects of stereotyping and how those stereotypes affected their personal lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely Christian<br \/><br \/><\/strong>In our first category, \u201cabsolutely Christian\u201d, Berla, a student from Iraq tells us about being stereotyped as a Muslim by her fellow classmates before they had even seen her in her new school in Germany. They were in for a surprise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely secular<br \/><br \/><\/strong>In our second category, \u201cabsolutely secular\u201d, Erta tells us how a friendly bus driver in her university town wished her Eid Mubarak just because he knew that she is Albanian. In his mind all Albanians are Muslims.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely white\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/strong>Finally, in our last category, \u201cabsolutely white\u201d, Ali from Yemen remembers a story where a girl he met in a club was a little surprised by his skin color.<\/p>\n<p>What about you? Have you been the object of a stereotype? How did you react? Do you try to use these situations to connect to others or do you just ignore them and move on?<\/p>\n<p>Please write a comment or mail us, we could do a follow-up interview with you in one of our next shows.
