It's just faulty misperceptions if you ask me. But maybe bc I'm rebellious in my thoughts. I prefer for everything to be unique and special on its own merit and account. Assumptions and inaccuracies really bother me. I dont like contrived "thoughts" to shape what I think or see. <BR/><BR/>I prefer to think outside the box is what I shouldve just said, huh? ;) LOL<BR/><BR/>I like your blog, btw! ;)<BR/><BR/>And I luv your short, minature golf thought.

Prejudice is another thing.<BR/><BR/>I am a single mom so yes I fit into the stereotype of single moms a lot. Or what I like to call thrown into the majority numbers until I prove otherwise.I personally think this is true with all stereotypes. <BR/><BR/>side note: I love it when we agree to disagre, loljust a girl...https://www.blogger.com/profile/01801303901136748904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809056340517838488.post-86582612233763885162008-10-20T16:01:00.000-07:002008-10-20T16:01:00.000-07:00ROFL!You know, I've never really realized that whe...ROFL!<BR/><BR/>You know, I've never really realized that when it comes down to it, just about everyone and everything is "prepackaged" into some kind of stereotype.<BR/><BR/>I mean, there's the parent, the teacher, the worker, etc.<BR/><BR/>It all comes down to what you see when you first meet that person, as to how you'll initially deal with them. At times it's correct, and at other times, it is horribly and sadly wrong.<BR/><BR/>Reminds me of a time in the service..

Now, making an incorrect assumption (someone thinking you are Hispanic when in reality you are Hawaiian) is an entirely different beast, but stereotypes exist because they hold a bit of water.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05427053242655177097noreply@blogger.com
