Busty blondes are stupid -
I'm an engineer, a Mother, and Grandmother - and also carried a 4.0 all the way through college.

People think I'm trouble just because I have tattoos and facial hair.I guess the ripped jeans and Judas Priest T-shirt don't help either!
But I'll be the first person to hold a door for someone,or pull over if you're broken down on the side of the highway.
People are also surprised at how smart I am.I love it when I show up to a customer's office to install their new phone service.I can see in their face that they think I'm just gonna f**k everyhting up.But then I get everything working (despite the best efforts of their IT guy!) on schedule.Then they act surprised!
It's funny as hell to watch someone show me love after they've misjudged me!

I am 30, with 4 children 7 years old an younger.
First, People often think that I am uneducated-when in fact, I graduated from college at 21 with a B.S.
Second, they also assume that I could not possibly provide for my children...stay-at-home mom with a successful 32 year old (engineer) husband.
And, Third, My children all have different features: blond, brunette, red-head, dirty-blond. I have been asked..."Do they have the same Daddy?" How rude.
Hope this helps...Don't judge...be kind, accepting, and loving.

Racist stereotypes are most common here in the South, esp. toward blacks, of course.
They're supposed to be lazy, ignorant, over-sexed, financially irresponsible, etc. True for some blacks, but also for many whites. Definitely not true for many blacks.
The scary thing is how casually/habitually people make these assumptions. It's like blacks are "guilty until proven innocent".
Equally scary, the people making these assumptions are sooooo a-historical ... HELLO!? As slaves, blacks were FORBIDDEN to learn to read ... now we call them uneducated!
Ignorance->Hypocrisy->Racism->Evil

I live in a really small town of Belgian ancestry, so when we got a black kid at school it was a huge shock. People didn't know how to deal with it, and since he was in FFA, and a lot of people called him antique farm equipment. It was really cruel. We also have a college nearby (Black Hawk College) with a large black student population, and a lot of people call the school "Dirty Bird" because of the number of black students. It's easily disguised because of its actual name, and people think they're fooling everyone by saying they're refferring to a black hawk, but nobody's that stupid.

Stereotype: Fat/Obese/Overweight people are that way because they eat all the time.
