Young Kyu's Stereotype response

In my school, I have a stereotype that everyone knows of. First one is my 'shortness'. This is definitely true because I am the second shortest in my grade. I get teased around for my height. Most frustating thing is whenever I play basketball, I always get blocked at least twice. Although there are some downsides
Another stereotype is 'basketball'. Somewhere around the campus, a person should be able to see me with a basketball in my hand. In addition, many people know that I didn't make the try outs for straight 2 years.
My last known stereotype is kindness. Many people tease me quite often because I never get them back while not being offended. Many feel comfortable around me because I don't do anything evil.

I also recognize different people with their stereotypes such as Chris Park. The first thing that I think of when I hear the name Chris is soccer. I always see him play soccer after dinner and he always refuses to buy me snacks because he is saving money for his soccer shoes. Midkiff dorm is another stereotype that I view of him. He always invites me to his room so I visit Midkiff dorm at least 4 times a week.

Stereotypes could be negative depending on the situation. For example, South Koreans might have negative stereotypes of Cuban peoples, For example, a mischievous person who always steals other peoples’ property can create a positive stereotype of himself by acting kind. So when a property goes missing, people would never be suspicious of that mischievous person because he has a positive stereotype.

Stereotypes are just a special signs that everyone recognizes when he or she hears that name. They play an important role when in determining someone’s identity. But they shouldn’t be the factor that determines whether he or she is a bad person or not. The only way to determine that is to actually go meet that person. Stereotypes are just a malleable image that doesn’t necessarily say everything about a person.
