This is page 16 from the #3 Batman series 1940 Fall edition. My husband found this on the internet a couple of years ago, so we don't have the link, but this was too outrageous not to share.
How far we have come, yet we have so far to go to erase stereotyping.
I found myself saying a stereotypical thing yesterday, I'm ashamed to say. I was talking about poor people in general and made a stereotypical comment. I don't remember the words, but I very much remember my horror of my realization that I said something stereotypical. I try to steer away from the "all one type of people do it this way" thought process and try my damnedest to remember we are all individuals and act differently in every situation.
But, sometimes we each slip. We must remember to forgive ourselves for these slips. Not encourage them, just forgive.
