布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
I have heard it stated more than once, both in the North and in the South, that coloured people would not obey and respect each other when one member of the race is placed in a position of authority over others. In regard to this general belief and these statements, I can say that during the nineteen years of my experience at Tuskegee I never, either by word or act, have been treated with disrespect by any student or officer connected with the institution. On the other hand, I am constantly embarrassed by the many acts of thoughtful kindness. The students do not seem to want to see me carry a large book or a satchel or any kind of a burden through the grounds. In such cases more than one always offers to relieve me. I almost never go out of my office when the rain is falling that some student does not come to my side with an umbrella and ask to be allowed to hold it over me.

白话
我多次听到南北方的说法：有色人种不会服从和尊重本族中处于权威地位的人。针对这种普遍看法，我可以讲，在塔斯基吉十九年里，我从没被任何学生或职员言语或行为上不尊重过。相反，我常因许多体贴的善意而不好意思。学生似乎不愿看我抱着大书、提包或任何重物走过校园，总有人主动来帮忙。下雨时我几乎每次出办公室，都有学生拿着伞来，请求为我撑伞。这说明尊重不是靠种族，而是靠公正和以身作则赢得的。

你是否也曾因某种刻板印象而低估一个群体，可以用什么亲身观察来检验它？
