Stereotypes have been around for years on top of years, and they are not going anywhere. I think we have all been guilty once upon a time for stereotyping. I know I have. You basically have to be an open-minded individual to allow yourself to look pass those that are close-minded and see things only one way.
I would have been slightly offended, but being the outspoken person I am, I would have inquired as to why that was stated. I then would have educated him in a nice nasty way on my view of the situation as a whole. I would not have stopped talking to him. I feel it's a petty situation. Also depends on how serious the comment was intended to be. Whether stated in a jokingly manner in oppose to act your own race. Always have to look at both peoples side and communicate to clarify situations.
All and all, I've been through a lot, and I'm content with me. I've been called stuck up cuz I'm pretty. A b*tch cuz I'm outspoken. Country cuz I'm from the south. Ghetto cuz I'm from the hood. The list goes on. The only people that can get to me now are my loved ones.
