Every time you get to know a minority group you realize you were lied to about how stupid they are. Often times we only have a very small sample group to go by. That one paki tech guy. That one Mexican dentist. And they seem normal. Not the brightes, but you know a bunch of white guys at least as dumb.
Then you go to a wedding, a festival, visit them in thier community, and you realize the rest are not like that. The stereotypes were being kind. Reality is so much worse than you thought possible.
