4、Severalyearsago,JeremyClarkson,presenterofthefamousBBCtelevisionprogramme‘TopGear’,discoveredthatoneofhisguestswashalfGermanandhalfIrish.Immediately,hesaid:

“That’squiteanoddcombination.It’slike,‘thismustbedoneabsolutelyperfectly…tomorrow’”.

Thisjokeplayedonstereotypes（刻板印象）oftheGermansasefficientandtheIrishaslazy.Manypeoplecouldunderstandablybeoffendedbythesekindsofassertions.WedonotknoweveryIrishperson,sohowcanwethenconcludethateveryIrishpersonislazy?

IrecentlyreadonawebsitethatIrishbusinesspeopleweredescribedasbeing‘generallyrathercasual’and‘moreoutwardlyfriendlythanmanyEuropeancountries’'.Germanbusinesspeople,ontheotherhand,areconsideredtobeverydirectandaccordingtothewebsite,they‘donotneedapersonalrelationshipinordertodobusiness’.Onceyouhearadvicelikethis,itbecomeseasiertounderstandwherejokesliketheoneinthefirstparagraphcomefrom.

Inthisway,somepeoplearguethatgeneralisinganothercultureisnotjustuseful,butimportant.Politiciansalwayshavetobemindfuloftheculturalcharacteristicsofdifferentcountries.Bybecomingawareofdifferentculturalcharacteristics,theycanavoidcausingoffenceinthosecultures.

However,othersarguethatgeneralisingcultureswillalwaysleadtooffensives
