Stereo Typing
Have always woundered if Europeans and others are hit with the rediculous Stereo Typing by people who are not from the same heritage.
As a Native American it is a big issue to us because everyone who is not Native American thinks we all are supose to look like and act like the ones portrayed on TV and Movies.
It is very anoying to be stereo typed.
If you have this issue in your area, please let us know so we can start a better tomarrow for kids and grandkids.
