Maz Jobrani

The thing about stereotypes as we all know, there is often truth in them, but it's almost always a partial truth.

Mara Brock Akil

I'm not a big fan of dealing with stereotypes because I think everybody's unique and I have met plenty of people who have bucked their stereotypes. But there are things that women are physiologically better suited to.

MJ Hegar

Russell Peters
