Today I sat at a diner studying for tomorrow's accounting final. Next to me sat a big group of seniors. I had originally dubbed them "Old People Club," but after some snooping saw a card displayed on their table. "Idea Exchange," it read.
They were discussing stereotypes- whether they're a product of the lazy rational mind, whether they're good or bad. They talked about fat people stereotypes, black people stereotypes, homeless people stereotypes. Finally one of them said, "What about the role of stereotype in helping us to decide who is smart and who is dumb?" One replied, "Oh, you mean Drooling Open Mouth Disorder?"
As they laughed, I found my way to the opposite side of the room. On the other side of the placard read, "MENSA".
