and--but honestly, it's a stereotype.

说实话这就是一个刻板印象
Greyhounds are supposed to be more passive and gentle than pit bulls.

I think it's a true stereotype but it's a stereotype nonetheless.

我认为这是一个正确的刻板印象但它仍然还是刻板印象
But we have no problems when it comes to things like breeds of dogs

针对狗品种的刻板印象是没有问题的
with stereotypes. We have serious problems judging people this way.

一旦我们用于评价人们时就是有严重问题了
So, for instance, it's a moral principle that some of us would hold to that

例如这是个道德原则我们中的一些人坚持认为
even if stereotypes are correct

即使刻板印象是正确的
it is still immoral to apply them in day to day life.

但把它们应用在日常的生活上仍是不道德的
