Stereotypes

I hate them! And it annoys mr that people still use them. Let me give you a little background info. My church is going through changes again and it just really can't handle it. Basically they want to move the church north because the demographics are changing and they claim they don't have the people to support the changes that need to happen. Basically, we are white and don't speak Spanish! Last time I checked, not all Hispanics speak Spanish! So I made an argument about how we need to go out and find out what the neighborhood would like to see happen and actually go out and do something for the community. And I keep getting the same response, we are not racial profiling but religiously profiling. Finding out what is realistic for the church and the people it can serve. It just makes me mad that some people are so narrow minded and are not open to find ways to make situations work. And maybe since I have had so many obstacles and situations I had to deal with I am open to adapting. Anyways, this has just been a slight fustration of mine lately and I just needed to vent.
