Well I'm a black woman and the stereotype that has caused the most tension in our society is that black people can't get along with one another. I have discovered that this is true. Jealousy, envy, and plain old ignorance have kept us from performing at our true potential. We don't like to see one another doing well and that really sucks because I'm doing great for myself right now and the ones I thought were my friends, all think I'm a different person so they treat me different because I make good money. I'm like Okay, I haven't changed, I just changed my lifestyle and my habits, you don't have to act like that. That's just my personal opinion and I know several people of my race are going to read this and be like, Unh unh, that ain't true but they know it and so do I.

The simplest form of Stereotyping....
Arabs = Terrorists.
Totally false! Why???
Because basically we can NEVER generalize.
Muslims have nothing to do with Terrorists, and Islam have nothing to do with Terrorism. We can't BLEND both! 'N say that on seeing an Arab Muslim... OH! He's a Terrorist!
That's just LAME AND SHOWS THAT PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT!
Just like in every country there is the good and the bad...
The Eastern part of our country has also a bad side.
I'll give you a simple example...
Do u know that almost more than 50 % of the Jew workers on 9/11 didn't go to their work on that day!!!!
I'm not gonna blame anyone, cause WE NEVER KNOW!!!!
I'm just saying...
There are TERRORISTS everywhere...
And they're NOT just Arabs.
Maybe Turkish, Spanish, French, Americans...
Just any ethnic and any race can be a Terrorist.
And we should NEVER stereotype that all Muslims are Terrorists!
I call that stupidity and just lame.
Seriously I pity those kinda mentality who live in this world.
We can't generalize people!!!!!!!
We just can't...
In every country there is the good side of it and the bad side.
Thanks! :)
Sorry, I talk too much... Hehe
