Following her comments last week, State Rep. Betty Brown has proven to be been an attractive target for comedians. After a mention of the incident on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, The Onion published this today.

It is unfortunate that Betty Brown's comments served to reinfoce stereotypes people have about Texans. If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to watch Ramey Ko's response.

Why do you call them stereotypes?

Stereotypes? (0.00 / 0)

We call them that because they are misleading generalizations about groups of people. If you will check the Houston phone book, you'll find that most Asian-Americans have one syllable surnames. Nothing complicated like Grabowski or Pelletrini or Svensdotter.
