Stereotypes can put you in some awkward situations.  Like the other week I was out of town and getting hungry.  I didn't really know where any restaurants were, but I saw this black guy walking down the street and pulled over.  I said, "Excuse me sir, but could you tell me where the KFC is at?"  And he responded, "TYPICAL WHITE AMERICA, askin' the Black Man where the Chicken be at....  So you ASSUME because I'm a brother, that I know where the KFC's at?"  And I said, "NO Sir, you've got this ALL wrong.  I ASSUMED, since you were wearing the uniform that you could tell me how to get there!"
