I think the only defense against stereotyping has to take place on an individual level, and it is a process that must be maintained throughout one's entire lifetime. I am heavily tattooed and I feel that many people stereotype me. I cannot change everyone of their minds, but I can live true to my own beliefs, and in doing that, I feel in the long run, I am doing my part to break down stereotypes.

I'm afraid that some people stereotype almost unconsiously. They see someone wearing alot of black and they say that person is goth or some other lable. It's sad but that is just what happens.
