You should give new people a chance. If they are different from you that’s exciting, think of all the fun new things you’ll get to know about them and their life. You should believe what YOU know about a person, not someone else’s stereotyped or prejudiced view of them. Judge a person by who they are, and what you know about them, not by what others may say. We meet and make new friends based on how and who they are, and the way they act, not by how they look.
