For example, we often use stereotypes to define a person when we look at them or hear them speak. Yet, an individual often goes much deeper than this surface impression, and the stereotype could be way off base.

Human nature and the media. I am a black woman living in America, so am used to constantly being bombarded with ridiculous stereotypes that the media conjures up as a blanket generalization, 85% don't apply, to me. Black women;have a house full of kids, nasty attitudes, ghetto, rude, loud, overly promiscuous, chip on their shoulder, snap neck, etc. Allot of times people have their mind made up how I will be before they get to know me, that's just how it is.

Ignorance. There is always more to a person than what is based on a first impression.
