Stereotypes

Stereotyping:
It is not the point that some people fit the stereotype.
(There are six billion people on the planet - somebody somewhere fits anything)
It is the point that *only* the stereotype gets repeated, over and over and over.


/today's obvious


actually, the 'some people are' thing is a point too, because actually media products tend to snip out a few pages / minutes of a particular life and portray only those, and I don't think anybody is only the things stereotypes see.
