  This reminds me of the 'Mammy' cookie jars that were all the rage at one time. I'm not sure if I can reconcile with these stereotypes enough to collect them, or at the very least render them impotent against my own self-image.

     I agree with you.  A few years ago, I remember Whoopi Goldberg saying she collects black memorabilia.  I wouldn't want to be reminded on a daily basis another race's negative conotation of who I am.

  What about modern day use of an old stereotype? I saw this in an I-D magazine ad. It was appalling. People were saying it was "artistic expression" and "edgy." I think these stereotypes should never be resurrected, because stereotypical material is not art.

     Yes, I cringe at so-called stereotypes that demean blacks in the name of art.

  I am Chinese and I was reading a comic the other day, it went something like this: one man looks at another and starts laughing, saying: "Hey, look, this guy is sleeping while standing!" And the other one responses: "I'm Chinese, you!". I didn't find it funny at all..
