Playing basketball
In the elevator the other day, a woman commented on my height and asked if I played basketball. I'm 6'5", that's tall, but not ridiculously tall. Next time I'm asked that (and that won't be long), I'll comment on them being short and ask if were a jokey or played in the Wizard of Oz. Or call them fat and ask if they practiced Sumo. People need to learn that positive stereotypes (like that all tall people play basketball or all Chinese are good at math) are still stereotypes.
