Content: That person, to him, represents the entire race. Conquering the Stereotype
It may sound impossible to conquer our stereotypes but it can be done. Psychologists say that you can break the habit by paying attention to your behavior and then correcting it at the moment. For example, suppose you laugh at a joke that demeans someone's race or gender and then you feel bad about laughing at the joke. This can lead you to reevaluate your relationship with the person that told the joke, as well as with those who laughed at it. The next time you're put in a similar situation, you'll know what to do. You may find that you're slower to laugh at the joke or that you don't find it funny at all. Better still is that you may completely change the people you surround yourself with so that you don't end up in a situation like this ever again. You may find more people who think like the new and improved you, who also would not find a joke like that funny, and who would be quick to chasten those who do. Source:
