Danger of a single story

What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community? Kind of like stereotyping a single story means when u look at a place and make judgments about it just by the looks with out even trying to figure out about the lives there or their culture. Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community? Like how some people say short people play soccer but they don't.I have heard allot of single stories about my community like every body on my street is useless never did anything in life but i know allot of people on my street that have their own business or athletes in college Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community? Like some people think you are in this religion just because of your color.i heard a single story about mexico like they are all poor have no money or i know that's not true or all African american people are christian
