CHEERLEADERS

A lesson on how easily stereotypes are passed on.

Der Deutscher, JBP and I are in the car at a stop light. There's this group of high school aged kids, mostly girls, playing around like elementary schoolers on the corner then racing across the street.

I turn to Der Deutscher and ask, "What's with the pack of kids?"

Der Deutscher, "I don't know."

JBP, "They must be cheerleaders." (emphasis his)

Stereotype passed on without even trying. And that's with me having been a cheerleader! Go Cyclones!
