When I was in college I was in a fraternity and I still maintain close friends from those days. I like to drink Miller Lite and Coors instead of PBR. I like football. I don't like wearing skintight clothed that looks 20 years old. My girlfriend is not easily confused with 12 year old boy. I like to go to the gym so as not to be ridiculously skinny and apathetic looking. I have a job I enjoy do, that enjoys mainstream success. I wear old school Adidas instead of old school Cons.

And yet I am active in various politics and organizations. I read books and not ones on the NY Times bestseller list. I have always listened to and continue to listen to bands that are obscure that may be popular in years or may not make it at all. Although I don't have the taste for many, I do try new kinds of food. I enjoy going to museums and galleries. My job is in the entertainment/arts area.

And I live in Williamsburg.

Does that throw off some stereotypes there? Maybe everyone can stop acting like a stereotype and we won't have these issues.
