Meet people and ask questions. They may laugh at you or even think you rude and insulting, but if you tell them you're trying to learn about new cultures, you will find people will welcome you and your questions. That said, at the end of the day, watch The Mind of Mencia. Why? Because sometimes the stereotype is true. That goes for all cultures and races. And if we can't laugh at ourselves, then life gets boring.

It is a good thing to realize this. By realizing it, you will look more closely at people and hopefully understand that you would not like to be stereotyped either.

just remember that some do and some dont... for almost every stereotype- any time you say ALL people this or ALL people do that.... you are wrong because the odds are that one will or wont and will make your statement false
