I was once again stereotyped today just because of my liking for black nail polish... *sigh*

People that believe the stereotype about a person or a group of people allow their idiocy to shine past their outer looks, making them ugly, no matter what their outer looks are like.

Of course it's a stupidity to make judge someone solely on some exterior aspect, like nail polish. BUT, put yourself on other's shoes for a change. How well do you really try to know people? And I am not just talking about a couple of your best friends, but every single person in your life. Obviously that is impossible and we (all) end up trying to fit people in little boxes based on the little information we have.
And, maybe this is something to consider. When you pick your clothes and nail polisher, aren't you trying to pick something that "says" something about you? Maybe, you are the one not communicating correctly who YOU are. Just a thought.

My opinion? Some are true, but people would rather not face the facts and some are extremely wrong. Most stereotypes are wrong and it's seems to be human nature to generalize something that you don't really know anything about. Sorry you were stereotyped. Unfortunately, you have to face facts that it will most likely happen again. That's just how things are today...

Some are very true but you cannot go on stereotypes alone. There are always exceptions. After all, stereotypes weren't made up to give people something to fight about today.

I like Sony and Panasonic stereos! Phillips is good too, but a little too pricey!

I don't believe that people should be labeled by what they like or who they hang out with. I mean were all people........right?
Your unique just like everyone else.....

Never judge a book by its cover. You'll be surprised by the contents once you start to really read it.
