I agree. We all are guilty of stereotyping. It`s a human nature to mentally segregate objects or people into different compartment and label them. It`s pattern searching. Outward expressions of your convictions, like wearing religious symbols just makes it more easy to categories a person.

Re: Article
This has little to do with stereotyping. A bunch of guys wanted to takeover the trust that Pataudi controls. They gave it their best shot. It’s just that Pataudi called the local Quazi over for drinks and they decided that to stop the bid. People try worse things for a lot less money.

Regards,

Faruk
