  1. What questions do you get asked often and are they often steretypes? Do you face stereotypes I often get asked how long my hair is, mostly by girls, and their response is normally "omg wow really" or "no way" Which I don't mind lol A few times iv been asked if I carry a sword. One stereotype that annoys me the most is alcohol. Just today two women that I work with were shocked to find out I don't drink alcohol. One was Pakistani and other surprisingly a sikh. When she found out i dont drink the Pakistani lady in Urdu said "how is that possible, your people drink a lot" that really annoyed me. Later on the topic of alcohol came back again and when I said I don't drink this sikh lady was shocked and kept on saying why not ? why not ? why not? Not even sometimes? Not even bear? But why not? Are you amritdhari? No, so why don't you drink? But at the end she was like no that's really good This isn't the first time that I nearly gave someone a heart attack by saying I don't drink. So yeah I often get asked how long my hair is and often people persume I drink alcohol because I'm sikh What about your experiences of questions, stereotypes, any misconceptions?
