People stereotype because they are lazy to find out the truth.
They will 'remember' when they see people from a certain group doing things that fit their assumption. They tend to forget or ignore when people from certain group doing something not fitting their assumption. A lot of people goes "See, it's a Richmond c 9 driving again" when they see a Chinese woman not driving so well in Richmond. But do they say anything or even notice women drive alright in Richmond? |
