Assumptions

Today I have been getting very annoyed at the behaviour of some people.  Being a ethnic minority is sometimes hard enough without other people behaving in a stereotypical manner. 

I know what I'm going to say, some people may not agree but it's how I feel at this moment. It's not right but people judge whole communities by the actions of a few.  This is what I would like some boys and girls to realise. I want them to figure out that the perception that they give out of themselves other people will use that to judge their whole community. Our communities have worked so hard to progress and get away from stereotypes people may have of us.  Then a few idiots do something stupid and give people a reason to judge us again. 

You need to realise, being a ethnic minority, you are not just representing you. You are representing your whole community.  You may want to be labelled in that manner but the rest of us don't.
