Subject: RE: BS: Things a redneck would never say.....
Hi,

Stereotyping in the sense of attributing weaknesses to a distinct group, the theory went a number of years ago, comes from the need not to feel inferior. Where no significant differences exist between groups in constant contact, both will create a stereotype of the other group by exaggerating in the negative whatever insignificant differences exist.



The jokes are about bubbas, aren't they, rather than rednecks.

Bye,
