Stereotype
So here's the thing. I have a quite close Thai friend. We first met in Japanese foundation class and have been friends since then. Last fall semester 2012, my 1st semester in 3rd year college life, I was in the same class with one Thai girl, 1 year older than me. We were in the same group presentation, she was kinda arranging everything which a lil bit dominant bit still normal thpugh.One time I met my Thai friend, I asked her about that girl n she replied that she wasn't that close with that girl as well even though they were from same high school. After hearing what she said, as I do believe in ky friend, I kinda thought that maybe that girl is like beautiful mean girl, like Regina in the mean girl movie. Then this spring semester 2013,we are in the same Japanese class again,we are in the same presentation group again. During the process, I slowly notice that she is nice. It's different from what I used to think about her before. I used to have a tendency that beautiful girls are mean, bossy, and boast.She is beautiful but she is not a mean girl. On the other hand, she's nice. What I learn is that never ever judge people by its appearance. By looking her/his appearance only, you don't know her personality, you don't know her story, you simply don't know anything but her look, body, face, any superficial appearance you name it.Scary face doesn't mean dangerous people. Fat people don't mean that they haven't ever tried their ass off to diet to fit with current social judgement perception where skinny girls are beautiful. And beautiful boasty look girl doesn't mean that she is mean. That Thai girl that I mentioned, through her hectic schedule due to job hunting, she works hard in her part time place. I heard after she just landed from Tokyo, directly she went to work part time which was very hardcore.
Anyway, hopefully more people will more focus on what is inside rather than outside.
