Stereotyping: It Make Us Human | Akash Banerjee | TEDxYouth@Lancaster

Growing up in a rather conservative town, Akash has encountered stereotypes and prejudice almost every day of his life. However, he feels there is nothing wrong with stereotypes, if taken the right way. His talk is a very interesting (and often humorous) perspective.
