Is it wrong to go by stereotypes?

[Anonymous]

I had encountered a couple individuals that expected me to act like the stereotype, failing to realize I'm just a person with different beliefs, likes, personality, goals, etc.

Things that took someone by total surprise:

- Finding out I'm atheist and have no problems with premarital sex. Not all of us care about religion nor traditional roles.

- I can't dance at all and that's not my favorite activity either. Not all of us are great dancers.

- Someone expected to be served meal. I only had a couple snacks. My friends and I ordered pizza. Why should I cook for guests (not my obligation)? lol

Someone once got offended by all this and said I'm just a coconut; only brown on the outside (just the appearances) but white deep down. I told him he should stop focusing on stereotypes and treat people as individuals instead.

Nah, seems like you DO fit the stereotype of a wannabe quirky girl.

You probably think you're "White" and "sophisticated" for being such a dimwit too.

I'm just being myself and apparently certain folks weren't happy with it. Oh well.

I agree with all but the 3rd point providing food is just good manors as a host lol🤣

My mother does that on all her invitations (all the family members come to eat) but I'm not her. It takes so much patience to cook a lot for many guests.
She enjoys the kitchen a lot more than me definitely.

Which is fair enough but I wouldn't say that based on a stereotype its based on the understanding of good manors when hosting buying food is fair enough tho I guess
