In my sociology class, one student did her research paper on the American stereotype of Italian men.
I wish she presented earlier in the week, because I would have paid more attention to it. It was interesting, but, as a 4rth quater senior, I was probably taking every oppertunity to get some rest...
Basically, we looked a lot a how the media produces stereotypes and reinforces them in order to sell an image or product. Hypercommidification, so to say. And there was talk about how "reality" becomes reproduced, and even images are reimaged and the real reality is often mislead. I think that is a sort of postmodernism or something.
I kept hoping that writing this post would make me remember her presentation, she was a really nice Itallian girl, too. Terra, her name was.... but I don't remember the key points of her presentation.

now, speaking of being Neanderthalic or however you say it, or chauvenistic, or however you spell either of those words... I'm too preoccupied with many things to check...
I still remember that Terra looks very good in a skirt, and I think she wore a pink skirt on the day of her presenatin. Light pink. Salmon?
Eh, something like that
