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 live 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 you live to a higher standard in a way that woudl 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.

You're smart.

You're insightful.

You're a Lambda Chi.

I think I love you.
