1. Arabs are probably the most misunderstood of them all. Mostly what we get from movies and books is that they are unthinking extremists hell bent on killing all christians and western influence in their land. But in reality thats just a small percentage. In a book I recently read at the beginning of the year entitled Three cups of tea you can really see what this ethnic group is really like. If we generally are nicer to them and dont judge first and maybe get to know them better.
2. My general stereotype I guess would have to be that im shy and because I wear glasses elementary teachers generally liked me more. Which in truth I didnt talk and didnt make a lot of commotion so they had no reason to not like me.

  1. I too found that Arabs are stereotyped easily. However I found your explanation a little vague and lacking information. I like that you used a reference and brought three cups of tea into it, but next time i think you should elaborate on the analysis a little more.
