We were a savage little lot, Liverpool kids, not pacifist or vegetarian or anything. But I feel I've gone beyond that, and that it was immature to be so prejudiced and believe in all the stereotypes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Stereotypes happen. I try not to embrace them or avoid them.
I was a pretty feisty young kid.
I came from a lot of intolerance and prejudice, which aren't necessarily healthy to evolve as a human.
I hung out with the jocks. It doesn't mean I necessarily was one. I was just kind of there.
It was an ongoing struggle to say no, I don't want to be a part of the perpetuation of this stereotype.
All stereotypes turn out to be true. This is a horrifying thing about life. All those things you fought against as a youth: you begin to realize they're stereotypes because they're true.
I became stereotyped.
I don't believe in stereotypes. Most of the time, stereotypes are just that.
Of course we've been fighting against stereotypes from Day One at East West. That's the reason we formed: to combat that, and to show we are capable of more than just fulfilling the stereotypes - waiter, laundryman, gardener, martial artist, villain.
I really did have a very egalitarian upbringing.
