Stereo Type? I'm More Of An iPod Type...Thanks.

June 28, 2011

So I've been trying to come up with a good, witty blog to type...but I was on some website and found a list of Stereotypes. So obviously this particular post isn't going to be funny, witty, sarcastic, or whatever. No, this one is going to be nothing but serious! They creator of the thread had posted a list and asked people to please bold the ones that would apply to them. Many people did and a lot of people found out a number of them had the same ones bolded. And others found out just how many different stereotypes there were in the world floating around that maybe they didn't know was a problem. I recognized several but some just struck me. A few upset me. A few I giggled at. But all in all it made everyone realize that stereotypes have been a problem, are still a problem, and will always be a problem. Here is the list and I will put what ones I would be in a different color. Please don't use stereotypes to bring others down. Please don't bring others down in the first place! It just shows how insecure YOU are.

Okay viewers, that's all the stereotypes I'm copying and pasting. There's plenty more...but these are the main ones that are repeated time and time again. Please, please read these and realize that stereotyping people hurts. If you have ever said one of these things to someone... there's always a chance to APOLOGIZE :) I'm not trying to make anyone feel guilty or anything...but I do want to make you think. Think and observe. If you see anyone stereotyping another person, stand up for what's right. Don't let it slide. Don't let it happen. Because it'll grow. 

So I have a challenge for you...would you dare to repost this? Bolding/changing the font colour of the ones that pertain to YOU!? Let it be known that stereotyping hurts and WILL NOT be tolerated any longer by the teens and kids and even adults of the world. 

Thanks for reading! :)
