Why do people I met offended at stereotypes?
Stereotypes are offensive yes, but why do some people get too easily offended by them?
I think it's because there's a sliver of truth to all of them.
Now you're welcome to disagree, but that's how I see it.
Just like there's always a sliver of truth to fairy tales I think there's a sliver of truth to stereotypes.
Truth is stranger than fiction
People get offended at stereotypes because people are individuals, not stereotypes.
Also, many stereotypes don't have any "sliver of truth" to them and were created only to degrade or belittle a whole group of people.
