Generalizing People is Ignorant and Unkind

Inez is haughty and stuck up said they I did not care, decided to meet her and stay Having heard their strange ideas before They stereotyped people forevermore All Africans are this, all Irish are that All redheads cook with used lard from a vat All older women eat bland unseasoned food Their generalizations are simply ignorant and rude I met Inez who was a delight, not stuck up, just shy Had supper with her and her lovely African guy About people I always make up my own mind Generalizations are ignorant; most are also unkind.

I'm always amazed by people who think this way, especially as you order your Chinese food, Indian food. In saying that, redheads are nuts.
