"The average person thinks he isn't" - Father Larry Lorenzoni

What?

Are you asking do you think it's right to stereotype other people or are you asking are you a stereotype?

Both I guess.
Of course I don't know one person who hasn't made a stereotype in their life. I try and refrain from it though.

Either way I don't think it's right, but I do stereotype accidentally sometimes.

Yes, I am.
Obviously it isn't the "right" thing, but it's true. I give people a chance no matter what I think of them before meeting them though, of course. Once I actually know them, I can think of them as who they are. I'm usually not too far off with my first impressions though, because I've been dealing with all sorts of people all my life and I can usually tell exactly what they're like after a conversation or two. If after talking to them for a while I don't really seem to like them, I tend to just end it there and (try to) never talk to them again. I'm really not a second-chances kind of person either. So I usually either like you or I don't, and it's staying that way.

Meh, I wouldn't call that stereotypical.

The stereotypical part comes in before I meet the person.

I judge by what they're wearing, how loud they talk, their expression when they don't think anyone's looking and stuff like that. I usually don't think much about it, I just think "Bratty" or "He's probably cool" or "She's probably nice."

My mother would call that a $100 word.

By that logic, I am Bill Gates.

Hello Mr. Gates.

The answer is no

Do you think being stereotypical is the right thing?

I think people look down on you if you're stereotypical.

I stereotype all stereotypes as being bad.
