i understand that in spite of what movies
and music videos tell me,

everybody from compton does not know gang bangers, everybody from the
middle east is not in a war torn neighborhood,
and everybody from the continent of africa
does not live in a jungle.


but if i did walk into
human relationships with an
explicit list of ridiculous assumptions
about ppl, i would generalize
that ppl from queens can get
me a good deal on whatever i want to buy
and will tell me i overpaid on
whatever i just bought.

i would also assume that if they are
somewhere other than new york,
they will complain about how something
they like in new york does not exist where
they currently are.

this person would be tolerable if they
are in new york, but an obnoxious bore
when they talk about how awesome
new york is to folks in other
parts of the country.
