Human Stereotypes

[nostopballa]

What makes stereotypes? Isn't it just the 'normal' action, clothing, color,ect. of a person? If so, why? i mean, It could just as easily be the opposite. For example, most people believe pink is a girls color, it could just have easily been a boy's color IF boys where the first to where it repeatively. Another example is, homosexuals and their lisps. Straight people have lisps, couldn't be a straight characteristic as well? And are people with speech problems always gay, no. I'm posting because a lot of people around my area like to tease people with 'rare' traits, like all people that play DDR are either gay or girls. Period. Nobody can accept that guys like to play a game that includes "dancing". Can I get anyone else's opinion on this?
