Activity:
Think about a time when somebody had made a assumption about you based on an aspect of your perceived identity. Consider, gender, race, age, physical ability or appearance, economic status or something else.
| Stereotype | Why | Assumptions | How it made me feel |
| Snobby rich girl | Attending St. Hilda’s | They think there are lots of snobs at the school They assume we’re lesbians |
I know that the girls at St. Hilda’s are not |
| Quiet nerd | In primary school I worked hard and had a small amount of friends | They think I have no friends and am really really smart | Because I was quite young, I was confused and self-conscious as to what other people actually thought of me |
| Dumb Filipino | I am half Filipino, half Australian | I can’t speak English | I was quite offended because being Filipino is apart of me and i can’t change that |
| Emo | I wear black nail polish and like to wear black all the time | They think that because I like the colour black I am emo | Pretty offended as I don’t consider myself as emo |
| Tan surfer chick | I am Australian | They think because I am Australian, I fight crocodiles and surf every single day | I laugh |
