IF YOU JUDGE ANOTHER, IT DOES NOT DEFINE THEM...IT DEFINES YOURSELF.


Blonde women with fake lips and boobs are dumb bimbos, black guys are drug dealers and eat fried chicken, Mexicans are janitors, Asians are the smartest, Americans are fat, Jewish people are greedy, dark skinned men with turbans are terrorists…. the list goes on and on.  Unfortunately, this will never stop.  Stereotyping will only get worse, and society will continue to judge one another.  Although there are good stereotypes such as black men are good at basketball, and Asians are smart, people generally feel discriminated against once they are labeled.  Stereotypes seem to ignore the uniqueness of an individual.  Just because a man or a woman dresses, talks, looks, a certain way or does certain things doesn’t mean they HAVE to fall under a specific category.  Everyone is exclusive in his or her own remarkable way, and no one should decide the identity of another.  With this being said, people should be judged by their individuality and NOT based on a group.  If you don’t know a person directly, than how the hell are you going to categorize them?  Negative stereotyping is just another way for people who don’t want to get to know others, so they classify them without any evidence or facts. It’s not fair.  I honestly admit to stereotyping here and there, but there is a valid line between what’s “right” and what’s “wrong”.  People may think its funny or entertaining, but truth is that stereotypes cause a lot of problems in this world. Society is depending more and more on already developed assumptions about certain people, rather than seeing who the person really is and deciding for themselves.  People are prejudice, rude, and extremely judgmental; when more people should be kindhearted and accepting towards one another. Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful.” –Margaret Mead.

  1. I definitely agree with your post. Everyone deserves the right to be judged independently of others who just so happen to be of the same ethnicity or have the same hair color, etc.
