 Prompt: Write about an experience when someone assumed something about you because of a stereotype. What was the situation, and what did you do?

Someone assumed that I couldn't speak English well because I'm a little tanned and have black curly hair, so they spoke to me slowly, as if I couldn't understand English, even though it is my first language. I was annoyed and angry. Instead of lashing out, I just walked away 

Summary: Someone assumed I couldn't speak English because of my skin color  

Reflection: This experience taught me how stereotypes can lead people to judge without knowing the truth.
