Have You Stereo-typed Someone To Then Realize You Were Dead Wrong?

Yes of course it's happened to me, check the Avatar. I don't care because I get it, I understand. Now today I approach situations and enlighten individuals with real-life facts and information. Stereo-types can easily be dismantled with a little intelligence, real-life experience, some personal education and an open mind. And I am speaking of stereo-types of all sorts for all people. Everyone of us are "individuals" and so what if one of us are a certain way that many find disdainful- stop painting a whole picture for others in that same group. It's another tool for division.
