Why is it people always get mad when they get stereotyped, but yet they always seem to back up or do what they're being stereotyped as. For example

I always say it's ok to stereotype as long as you give people a chance to prove you wrong. But you are damn right about the ones who fit the stereotype are the ones who get so damn pissed off. I just got back from a country where I didn't speak the language. Thankfully, almost everyone spoke mine. They teach English in all the schools because they realize there is a need for it. We are spoiled. And It' all about money, honey... companies have options for phone services in Spanish so they can conduct business with Mexicans and South Americans who are too lazy to learn English but know how to spend money. Same with the mortgage companies… you don’t always have to be a citizen to own property in a lot of countries… there is money to be made.
So maybe you will appreciate this English joke I heard in Slovenia:
There was plane going down because it was too heavy and they had already dumped all the luggage, and the pilot, who was racists, decided to start sacrificing passengers. So he comes over the intercom: "Any volunteers to jump out of the plane to save the rest of us?" here is a long pause. "No? Ok. Well then we are going to do this in alphabetical order. All African Americans, please jump now." There was a father and son sitting near the back of the plane and the son says to father "That's us, Dad, we are African Americans." His father replies "Just stay here, son." The pilot comes on again "OK. Next. All Black people please leave the plane." The son looks at his father, "Dad, we are black. Shouldn't we-" "No. son,” his dad interrupts, “just sit tight. Again, the pilot's voice over the intercom: "Now all Colored peopled must jump out of the plane." The son starts to questions his father again, but his dad says "Just stay put son. Today- we are Niggers."
The joke is awesome. lol as far as conducting business with them, fuck that. If they're too damn lazy to learn english, they don't deserve our products. They want our stuff, they need to learn our language. They know how to spend our money, so they need to use our language.
