About This Quote
If you don’t see a person in the stereotype, you probably won’t be able to see them. You can love a person but you can’t love a stereotype. You can trust a person but you can’t trust a stereotype. You can do wrong to a person but not to a stereotype.
The world is full of people and everything else that falls outside of the stereotypes. People who believe in stereotypes often find it convenient to write them off and try to fit everyone, everything and every situation into those stereotypes. They either don’t want to admit that they have prejudice or they don’t want to see anyone else as anything other than what they think people should be like.
