Answer 1

2.) I always hate it

3.) I think I probably did when I was younger, before I learned about how diverse people (even belonging to the same groups) are...I don't stereotype anymore

4.) It is a part of our cultural and societal socialization

5.) No, it is not right

Answer 2

1. Yes these black girls thought I didn't like them because I am white :(
2. I became friends with them after so it's all good. but at the time I was like "awww.. fine. :("
3. Um.. probably.
4. I think we stereotype because we've been taught to, like in the media - movies/commercials/tv shows. And if people have grown up in a certain mind frame they're most likely going to act the way everybody expects them too.
5. It is bad because it doesn't give the person much of a chance.

Answer 3

Yes. Many times.

I felt like the other person was an idiot.

Not intentionally. I was raised by bigoted parents, but I try to fight it.

Laziness. It's easier to pigeonhole than to evaluate individuals.

No. Ignorance is never right, and stereotypes are based on ignorance.
