Pads Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Can anyone tell me the french for stereo type, as in the sentence:I can not stero type people by country, I treat each person I meet as an individual. This is not one of my lessons at school, its a conversation im having witha french person via email. What is this obsession with asking what the english think about people from different countries? this is the 5th french person to ask me this question, not that Im stereo typing them[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
