As an example, I stereotype African Americans as not enjoying Horseback Polo. If you're an African American and you find that offensive, then feel free to correct me! However, until the day I'm proven wrong, then why not let that assumption stand? It's the only way I can get to know at least a little bit about every African American on the planet.
