Stereotypes


Making assumptions on race

Is not something that we should embrace

But is instead a disgrace

 

Judging someone by the color of their skin

Is just like putting a collar on a dolphin

Because it's just not how we act

 

Inferring that just because someone may be overweight or skinny

And even if you don't know why 

Ask them instead of automatically making assumptions

 

 But most importantly making Inferences on someones class

Is just like commencing with a pointless task

 

Being a Russian 

Does not mean having a percussion voice

Or always being serious

But maybe we have our own reasons

 

Maybe It would be best if next time 

You would get to know the person

Before asking questions

 

Or maybe instead not listen to what others are telling you

And instead focus on what he or she has been through
