You know, 99% of porn movies in internet are filmed in a particular language. According to you, the generalization logic is: the women speaking that language are whores.
Really tired of that useless offtop dispute, sorry, didn't want to offend you or anybody else.

I get it mate, but you have to be honest with yourself in the fact that it's often all we have. Look at 15 or 20 years ago. What did we know about other countries? Probably much less than today, right? And is it a good thing? Maybe not. Now we have social media, news outlets from all over the world with their own agendas, it's really information overload. When a certain outlet is all we see, then we're going to make generalizations.
Take for example Youtube. We'll watch videos all day about Russian accidents or road rage incidents. Does it mean that all Russians crash during the day and fight on the street? Probably not. But that's often what we see.
And your porn example is correct mate: when someone watches porn and 99% of them speak with an American or Eastern European accent, then we're going to make generalizations. Completely normal.
But I'm a grown man, and I try to expand a bit more beyond that. I actually subscribe to channel on Youtube called REAL RUSSIA. Have you heard of it? It's this kid in Russia that makes videos of daily life in Russia. He debunks stereotypes (like that Russians are drunk off vodka all day) and really puts things in perspective. At least, for me.
