Do you believe that there are personality traits specific to ethnicities ?

My friend jokes about her "Irish temper", I’ve heard about "Latin tempers" or "passion" and the French being "romantic".
Where do the stereotypes come from and is there anything to them other than hype ? 🤔

No personally i dont think so. I actually find it insulting when i hear things like that. Because it groups everyone together and makes them guilty by association of skin when everyone is not the same. Good or bad.

@AngelUnforgiven An excellent point, and I’ve definitely encountered that expectation. I wondered because I’ve heard so many describe their own groups with such generalizations.
