Stereotypes prevail. Many years ago I was surprised to get an interview at Western Electric for a marketing position - I quickly realized they should have been looking at a master's degree candidate instead of someone just out of college. I noticed many Italian names on the doors as I walked down the hallway to the interview area. The man interviewing me was Italian as well. Hmm? What is going on here?

At a certain point in the interview he asked me if I did a lot of Italian cooking and do I know how to make a good cannoli. Er, what? No.

Idiot.

We need to get past this judging thing that is so prevalent in our society. Ted is right,ssh!
