I'd disagree with that; stereotypes exist because they are often true. I may sound like a dolt for saying that but I do think the exceptions to stereotypes are not as common as you may think. You only think about it for others when it's an exception and likewise, you think of the ones that affect you subconciously,, and most likely, you live up to it. Bam, you're a stereotypical whatever-you-are. It's a shame though, because stereotypes are perpetuated almost by the sheer existence of themselves. ~witty P.S.
