I try very hard NOT to stereotype at all, whether it's racial or cultural. Or more accurately, I postpone prejudging someone based soley on what they look like or what I know about their heritage.
I let them talk and take action, before I form an opinion. If possible I'll usually try to gather more information that may give me a better idea of what I observed so I don't go forming conclusions based on limited info.
In short ... even though we may be conditioned to prejudge based on ethnic, racial, or social stereotypes we learn or hear about ... I try very hard not to let it all effect how I view people.
I'm not going to think you're an asshole until you prove it to me.
