First of all what is a stereotype? Well the dictionary definition is: "a simplified and standardized conception or image invested with special meaning and held in common by members of a group." It can easier be put as an image associated with a particular type of person, often one with a negative connotation that doesn't portray that person at all. The main purpose of this blog is to describe various stereotypes, bringing them to the readers attention, and showing how there is more to a person than their looks reveal.
WARNING: Though this can be a sensitive subject, we ask that our readers take most of what we post lightly; the best way to overcome hurtful stereotyping is to rob it of its gravity. How can a stereotype be hurtful if its not taken seriously.....?
