Why do stereotypes allow people to keep from enjoying themselves?

I guess some people still find them to be painful.

The only stereotype that I've suffered from is that white guys can't dance. And in my case that is largely true. But I would just as soon sip a martini and watch. Which in my case, I suppose, is yet another cliche.

And, of course, this is not anything like growing up black in the south during the era of Jim Crow. Which is something that I doubt that I will ever fully comprehend, even if I am not blind to it.

That never stops white guys from cutting a rug, though.
