Embracing Stereotypes

As a teacher I've spent a good deal of classroom time combating stereotypes. They can be mean, they can be hurtful, and sometimes they can even be true.

A true stereotype that makes me laugh—often—is about one of my former students who was a native Chinese speaker: the title of his proposal paper was "Illegal Downloads Nonono."

Really, where do I begin helping him rename that title?
