IAF. 116 ~ Jagr,
yes they were hastily made. but the Germans were (forgive the stereotypeing) very efficient
OK with me,
Stereotyping is GREAT because it saves a lot of time in redundant explanation.
Stereotyping is not racist.
Most stereotypes are not used to imply that one ethnic group is subordinate or superior to another,
just that ethnic groups have certain characteristics and to deny theses characteristics is absurdity.
No one has the right not to be offended. Old sayings are old & are still in use because there is usually
some degree of truth to them.
Unless you are PC, and well, then in that case, the truth doesn't matter, it what "feels good" that matters.
If you are PC and the assertion that the world is round offended some people then
you would be obliged to agree that the world is in fact flat when in their presence,
so long as that assertion didn't offend some other perpetually offended group.
IE: Sasha Cohen's characters would not be funny unless there were based on true stereotypes.
If there was no degree of truth to his characters, well then he would not have made 44, Million USD with his movies.

You are right it would have been covered for any type of production model.
