THat was the point i was starting to make, people do stereotype themselves, so that way it acts as a barrier, it shows insecurity.

I'm trying to get my little sister out of this syndrome, she's admitted to being a townie, now not boasting here, i came from a private school background, i'm not posh, i'm not common, i'm somewhere in between and i don't want my sister becoming a townie, her dad (not my dad) has already bought her a burberry track suit of all things.... My sister is only 11 and already she's getting caught in the whole 'people stereotyping themselves' world. She then said to me she was now an 'Indy' which means 'Individual', i can't believe there is a term for people who are individuals....what is this world that we are living in?!?

It's with this in mind i agree with your point on Science, he does have a stereotype of a typical back jamaican guy who i would just avoid if at all possible and would only speak to if i was enclosed in a small space with him, such as the Big Bro House.

Anyways, we shall see what unfolds!!
