Stereo killed the radio star...just kidding

Stereo killed the radio star...just kidding

Having turned a certain age a few weeks ago (yeah like Im going to tell), my brain seems to have been working overtime.  Having just recently launched my freelance writing career, I have come to realise a lot of things...that not everyone is out to rob you, that hard work does indeed pay off and that stereotypes do exist...WOAH! I hear you say, thats a bit of a jump.  Yes it is but its the truth. So as a woman of a certain age and a certain ethnicity, I have found that although I do sometimes fit into the mould normally associated with my race, I am also (in other aspects) completely at odds with it.  Let me give an example...we are known as feisty, dramatic and a little arrogant.  OK I admit the first two but never the third, but doesnt that apply to every woman?  Furthermore, my musical taste could not be further from what is normally perceived to be 'our' music (hip-hop, r 'n'b etc etc) but I cannot stand that stuff.  I have an eclectic taste ranging from 80s pop to classical to jazz and everything in between.

So what do you think?  Are you typical of how your race is perceived? Or are you an exception to the rule?  This isnt meant to be controversial post, I just want to know what people's opinions...Peace out.
