Well I would have to say that I have been guilty of misjudging other groups of people myself. I have considered all of them the same just from a few bad experiences. Once I got to know them I found out that the group was not what the others had protraited them to be. I am from Loxahatchee and we are thought of to be racist rednecks. That is not the case. There are a lots of us out there who are very intellegent and not racist at all. Because of the "bad eggs" in the bunch, we who live out there all grouped together as being racist and simple minded. If people would take the time to get to know eachother instead of judging, society would be a better place for everyone.

Personally, I have never heard of that stereotype, having been to Loxahatchee a few times and meeting some very remarkable people who were not "rednecks" in the least. But that's just me.
ReplyDeleteI agree, people tend to judge what they don't know. Taking time to get to knwo others, they may just surprise you.
ReplyDeleteThe tendency for people to judge others is in us all. We just have to remind ourselves that for each person we judge, they look back at us and do the same. With that thought in mind, we might find it pointless and move on the better things to do.
