Stereotypes are for lazy brains, weird is real

An archetype, generalization, a stereotype is a set pathway in the brain that we can easily assign to people so less thought is needed. It is a mental shortcut and cuts off many options for what is new when people think in them instead of thinking in whats real and in front of us. THEY’RE NOT BAD ONES! We meet someone and see a cross on their neck, nice clothes, a shitty car, dirty face and big headphones and the mind immediately has a slew of assumptions for old titles to give this new being. When someone says “I can’t” because they are part of a certain group they are stereotyping themselves. Actual disagreement would say the reasoning why they can’t ie I don’t want tattooes because the bible says,”the body is a temple” but people don’t give specifics, those are harder and not of a shortcut nature, they just say Im this stereotype. And this is exponentially more rare then the brain does so. When someone says a person is weird, what they often mean is that they don’t fit the stereotypes which make thinking faster; more thought is more work the sayer is not used to, so they don’t like it. Life is much bigger than any set of stereotypes, don’t let the brains lazy tricks hold back from understanding the great world around. We can only experience what we let ourselves see.
