    As long as people embrace the stereotypical behavior the stereotype will be validated and persist. For example, I have met white Southerners who practically brag about being ill-educated, spending most of their time drunk or high, and being promiscuous. They do not raise their children with solid values and don't seem to care that they and their their kids are at risk. As for stereotypes of racial injustice, as long as there is a bias in the justice system and human nature, certain "types" may be treated differently.

    Look around. Every white person you see will be wearing jeans, and only jeans, ALL THE TIME. The black uniform appears to be over-sized jeans hanging so low that we all have to see their underwear or over-sized white t-shirts that hang down below their knees. The guys look like they're wearing ugly dresses.
