Is it OK to attribute any personality traits at all to different enthic or racial groups, and where is the line?

An example... even though Asian Americans have not been slaves, they went through hell, both in the US and back home, almost as much as blacks, and some would say more, but somehow affirmative action does not apply to them. Does anyone think that, had Asians been imported to the US as slaves, they would have been exactly like Blacks now?

Yes, ok to think that way, not ok to act that way. I would recommend reading Shelby Steele or other black conservatives about their take on affirmative action. Sources: My opinion: stereotypes exist because the underlying characteristics we associate with them have proven to be generally true to the observations of multiple people within and without that population.IE, even blacks can suggest that cultural differences do exist.

Many would suggest that most immigrants post the initial waves in the 13 original colonies all had stereotypes that held them back. I would suggest that no one has been held back more than Native American indians. Would they be stereotyped as they are now had the US upheld its original treaties with the original tribes?

While it is wrong to treat individuals like you would each general member of a group, the same applies for black, white, or otherwise and that is affirmative action for everyone.

1 Think of the Chinese that built the railroads in California and the west. I think they were close to being slaves and certainly worked as hard as anyone ever worked. But I think we would see a great difference had they been slaves.So, my answer is "No, they would have had a different history.

3 I would say that if you can ever make the statement "person Y is an exception to the rule" that there are obviously observable stereotypes for a given group. And the few exceptions just go toward stereotyping the rule.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
