As much as I hate it, I have fallen prey to many cultural stereotypes in the past few years and I will give the excuse that it is because of where I live. Honestly though, I am learning that there are reasons for stereotypes. Although not all persons in a cultural group may act a certain way, I am finding that a large percentage seem to follow the stereotype. So, I guess I am guilty of perpetuating several stereotypes having to do with culture, but, the people that live around me and are from these different culture groups do nothing to dispell the stereotypes...
