For example, "You know what they say about Jews", "You know what they say about black women", and so on. Can also apply to Sci-fi or fantasy settings, either as [[Fantastic Racism]] or as a spoof; i.e. "You know what they say about orcs", "You know what they say about vampires," "You know what they say about [[Star Trek|Klingons]]." Often foreshadows a visit to a [[Planet of Hats]].
