All of us belong to a minority group at one time or another. Generally not as prominant as a race thing, but were all a part of a group; the fat minority, the thin minority, christians, jews, muslims, gay, poor, educated, seperated/divorced parents, whatever.
People are always gonna have stereoytpes. You have to live your life in a way that shatters the common stereotype. You might be the only (fill in the blank) a person ever meets. Therefore you will represent your group to them. Its a lot of crap to put on a person, but thats just the way it is. So live your life to a higher standard in a way that would never give another person an opportunity to say something like, "Hes such a jew/fag/whitetrash" whatever.
Its all about education. Through knowledge and education, we have power. No one can ever take our power. We can give it up, but no one can ever
take it.
Educate + teach + live = destruction of stereotypes.
Good luck.
