Stereotypes are over generalizations of what is really true. There is no stereotype of a stupid, lazy Jewish man with several felony convictions and several illegitimate children he does nothing to support.
Stereotypes are annoying but not generally malign,
canards go beyond stereotypes and are used to deliberately harm or malign. They tend to be sensationalized reports, fabrications or misrepresentations that are applied to an entire ethnic/racial/etc group. Where there could have been a kernal of truth, it was long ago subsumed when applied to an entire group of people
for the purpose of inflicting harm, marginalizing or subjugating them.
Some examples common stereotypes and canards:
White Americans: White men are often stereotyped as ambitious, arrogant, racist, and uncoordinated. White women are often stereotyped as unintelligent, overly focused on appearance, and sexually available.
Asians: The Covid spreader/starter - a modern adaptation of the “yellow peril” which goes to show how enduring these can be.
Duplicitous and untrustworthy. They eat dogs and cats.
Jews: World domination - there are number of variations, they control world banking, they control the media etc. through nefarious means. Jews were responsible for the propagation of communism. Jews are greedy, untrustworthy, and profiteering. Jews have big noses.
Blacks:
the Black brute - (
hideous, terrifying black male predators who target helpless victims, especially white women.[34] In the post-Reconstruction United States, 'black buck' was a racial slur used to describe black men who refused to bend to the law of white authority and were seen as irredeemably violent, rude, and lecherous.). The welfare queen, Angry Black Woman,
Blacks as subhuman (subnormal intelligence compared to other races)
Many racist canards sprang out of slavery and post-Civil War attempts to keep Black people either subjugated or incarcerated (by inventing new crmes such
loitering and vagrancy that applied predominantly to Blacks).
There is no stereotype of a fat Chinese woman on welfare with several illegitimate children by several different men.
There are other equally ugly stereotypes directed at Asians. There are many Whites, on welfare, with illegitimate children from multiple fathers particularly in the rural south and Appalachia.
Those who dislike Jews and Chinese resent them because of their intelligence, their success, and their prosperity. Both groups have succeeded against the odds.
If you look at the history behind those stereotypes and canards it has little to do with resentment of intelligence and success. That seems to be a modern veneer.
