like for instance, my ex-wife's friend first came to know me during our wedding. when she had the moment with my ex-wife, she asked, "is your husband a tambay? does he have any work?" die, bitch! of course, my wife told me. and when i got the chance to corner that bitch, i said, "i might have achieved so little but compared to yours, you have not achieved anything!"
just a word:
doing this doesn't substitute for cold hard facts about people. start by looking at how many times people said things about you that weren't true. analyze how they based their comments about you on assumptions they had about the group of people of which you were a part, perhaps.
think back at a time you were guilty of doing the same to someone. ask yourself how true your assumptions were when you finally got to know the individual whom you you did the same. chances are that your assumptions were proven wrong.
determine what causes you to apply the stereotyping criterion that you use. for example, not all conservatives are religious, nor do all liberals want higher taxes. understand that there are always several empirical facts that prove your stereotyping reasons wrong. attempt to rid yourself of prejudices and biases that lead you to stereotyping people.
adopt logic, critical thinking and application of actual
facts in place of stereotyping people. let people prove themselves to
you. let them define themselves. this gives better, more accurate data
on someone than what you get when stereotyping them. for example, don't
assume that the bookworm is a boring person.
and please, do not assume that i am a broken person because of the contents of my blog!
my blog doesn't say it all.
