So, at today's class we talked about stereotypes (meaning true, but most of the time untrue or rather undefined opinions about some particular person or a group of people). There is a lot of well known ones like: blonds are stupid or Scots people very efficient (?). This is not a thing that just kids and teens use, everybody does. I am just hearing my sister saying that she feels so blonde. Funny how we use them in every day life. But I personally think that people (or groups) shouldn't be judged before we know them well. It's not fair. This week some friends from Japan are coming to my grandfather. Does this mean that we are going to talk just about Sumo and sushi? Of course not. Well maybe a bit :D. My friend Sarah is an American... is she fat and stupid? No. That are just really undefined stereotypes. For the end: just please don't judge people before you are sure that the things you are saying about them are true.
