    I find that usually stereotypes are started to put some organization to things. To categorize, or worse, to label. The negativity happens when we see that a stereotype is present and believe that it’s a part of the individual, or who the individual is. We never dig deeper to find out why the individual seems to portray a ‘sterotype’ (i.e. Why is the white man sexist? Why is the black man angry? Why do black people find it difficult to tip white folks? Why are many Native American’s quiet?) The question can be asked about every stereotype there is. The more we ask, the more we’ll understand.
