Standard Classification of Members of the Human Race

People have always told me not to stereotype my fellow humans. It is true that everyone is different, and that everyone has their own separate personality. In spite of this, I'm going to take a leap of the social bridge and classify all humans as hypocritical. Why? Well think of it: We say "it's wrong to stereotype" and then follow it quickly with "why can't we all fit in?" This is a major contradiction, in case you hadn't noticed.
Stereotypes wouldn't exist if they weren't obvious. Think of it. Every day at school I see the "sixteen-and-soon-to-be-pregnant-Addidas-jacket-wearing-tobacco-smoking-hair-in-the-almost-ponytail-blonde-bitches-that-hate-their-mother-and-think-that-spouting-every-foul-word-to-their-"enemies"-makes-them-cool" females all hanging around out front. They frequently show up on shows like Jerry Springer. They're the one's who had the boyfriend who used to be a girl and then decided that ______(insert pronoun here) wanted to go back to their former existance but not before realizing that they like screwing sheep, but only at certain times of the day, and oh yeah, their mothers are all genetic freaks.
Whoops...I made that into a stereotype. Terribly sorry.
There are certain stereotypes that I don't agree with. Like Asrai's "friend" saying that all whites were racist, regardless of their back ground, friends, social groups etc. I know that this is not true. I, like Asrai, am prejudice toward certain stereotypical groups. I won't go near a group of almost seventeen year old skateboarders because I (probably unreasonably) don't want to be noticed by them. I stay away from most dirty, smelly, leering old men down town because I don't want to be near them. Especially when they ask me for spare change. But four of my sibblings are half Vietnamese. One of my cousins is from the Bahamas. Two of my other cousins are half Japanese. In fact, I think that Oriental guys are REALLY hot. Most of them, anyway.
So...where does this leave us now? I've addmitted freely that I stereotype individuals. It's hard not to when you're faced with someone that you'd swear they based Ned Flanders off of. This leaves me with trying to come to a point: Human beings are not only hypocritical, but prone to stereotyping their fellow humans. This places them in the "beware-any-passing-aliens-who-might-want-to-stop-here-and-see-what-we've-been-up-to-in-the-past-little-while-because-we'll-try-to-kill-you-because-the-president-of-the-US-is-a-major-asshole-and-not-only-that-but-we're-a-bunch-of-two-faced-bastards" catagory. There probably aren't any other aliens like us in the galaxy because hey...we're all unique right?
Damnit! I've done it again. Buggering stereotypes!
