 Stereotypes are negative views or images of certain people. For example, a stereotype for black people is that we all like watermelon and koolaid. Stereotypes usually make me upset because they're false and ignorant.

10. I have fell victim to a single story one time. A customer at my job assumed I was some type of thug because I have dreads. Having a balanced story would have told them that not all dread heads are ghetto thugs and most of us are respectable and have jobs.
