some other examples of single stories from the video are that Nigerians/ Africans  couldn't speak English,  didn't know  music like Mariah Carey or even know how to use the stove. when in reality Ms.Adichies roommate was ignorant and already had previous assumptions before they even met, which were shaped of a white American privledged perspective.

Ms. Adichie talked about how her American roommate assumed she couldn't speak English, was poor, and listened to "tribal music", but her idea of Africa was far from the truth. She also talked about her single story of Mexico and how she stereotyped Mexicans based on things she heard on the news

# data[].attributes.body
Ms.Adichie said how her roomate thought she was poor, didnt know english, barely listen to music, and didnt know how to use stove, her roomate only assumed that since she was African.

Another example was that Ms. Adichie American roommate thought she was poor, didn't know English and that she doesn't know how to use a stove because of a single story.

FAHIMA  Yes lots of times! I knew because I know who I am and who I am not. it didn't really affect me because as long as I know who I am I could care less about others " opinions" not facts about me. Also those who go on with the "story" are people I don't need in my life. Because if your that willing to believe anything you'll fall for anything and you don't stand for nothing. which isn't something I am looking for in a friend or someone who shares my company.

I told my friends that the player base of a certain game was toxic and horrible, filled with 10 year old's who scream into their dollar store mic....
for about 90% of our play session I was right, but we did meet 1 or 2 nice people our age and it made me realize that the game had a reach to everyone.

Ms. Adichie's roommate had thought of her in a very demeaning way, her roommate thought she couldn't speak English, they thought she couldn't use a stove

along with this, Ms. Adichie also saw foreigners as beer drinking, apple eating, weather conversing people.

A friend once asked why I didn't have squinty eyes because even though i was part Asian. I didn't take it seriously but it was still weird that any Asian person was known for just the tiny looking eyes, this single story wasn't too damaging but it still wasn't right

# data[].attributes.body
Ms. Adichie's roommate assumed that because she was from Africa she wasn't accustomed to using a stove, and unable to speak English.

Ms. Adichie got a bad friend and thought that she didn't understood English just because she was African.

Before I went to Mexico, I assumed that the people there only spoke Spanish and I would have a hard time communicating and finding my way around, but after I arrived I realized that many/most people spoke English there. It might've been because I was in Cabo, which is a very touristy town, but I was still surprised nonetheless. In the future if I travel to a different country I will be more open minded and not have many expectations.

One example of a single story from the video is when Ms. Adichie's roommate assumed that she didn't know how to use a stove, or that she didn't know who Mariah Carey was. Another example of a single story from the video is when a student assumed all Nigerian men were abusive because one Nigerian man in Ms. Adichie's novel was abusive.

I mean single stories have probably been told about me but I dont know about them, in reality I dont care all that much

# data[].attributes.body
They thought I was smart because Asian are giga(big) brain but they was wrong. I know that because they keep asking me for the answer for some random class. I don't care about that to be honest.

Ms. Adichie talked about how her friend was stereotypical and thought she didn't know how to speak English and lived in poverty based off of a single story. In reality, her roommate judged her off one story and already had thoughts about her that way. Another example of a single story as how she made assumptions on Mexicans because of what she heard through social media and used that source to make judgment's on them.

before I went to Texas I assumed everyone was fat and chewed Tabaco with cowboy hats, when I actually went to Texas I was greeted with great hospitality and it was also very hot there.

A single story about me was that because I'm not fluent in my language I'm considered ''white-washed'' but i actually understand it better than speaking it. My older cousins always talk about it and how they had to learn when they were my age. It made me feel annoyed because just because I'm not the best or fluent I'm still cultured.

A single story that I strongly believe is that Lebron is the GOAT in basketball and that Michael Jordan cant compare to him. I never really hear others side of the story when there talking about Michael and his pros and cons which I Acknowledge but font agree with. until one day I had a deep conversation about the game of basketball with my coach and I Realized that my side of the story was one sided. because I wasn't focused on Michaels impact on the game that much rather his personality and who he is as a person. I think he isn't the GOAT till this day , and I think ill forever have a one sided argument about LeBron and MJ . but that's just me though :)

Australia is a upside down place. (That's what I heard) =.=
I ignore it and I know it's an single story because it is!

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, a single story has been told about me. Many adults believe the single story that teenagers have anxiety or depression because of phones and social media. This is a very widely known single story. It often makes teenagers feel blamed for something that's not their fault, or feel misunderstood. When people tell this single story, it spreads a false narrative that can affect so many people.

When Ms. Adichie roommate assumed that she was poor, couldn't speak English, just because of her color and that was what her roommates idea of Africa. She had asked her what was her "tribal music". Her roommate had stereotyped her because her roommate didn't know what it was actually like in Africa.

Don't have one.

Sometimes but I usually just ignore it to not give them the satisfaction and usually half of them are just attention seekers.

I'm sure single stories have been told of me. but I can't remember anyone ever saying anything to my face.

An example of another simple story, is when she first came to America. When Ms.Adichie met her American roommate, she said and I quote "My American roommate was shocked by me. She asked where I had learned to speak English so well, and was confused when I said that Nigeria happened to have English as its official language". Her roommate had a single story about Africa, the single story was that in no way did her roommate see that Africans can have the same capabilities as Americans. Africans only listen to "tribal music" and they don't know how to use a stove correctly. In her Roommates eyes, there was no way that Africans can be equal to Americans in any way possible.

Ms.adichie  friend started to assume things about her because she was African American, like how she thought Ms.adichie couldn't speak English, use a stove, or that she didn't know any music taste like Mariah carney. Even her students thought Nigerian men were abusive.

Before my friend went to Mexico, we both assumed that Spanish was the only language spoken there, and you would have to know Spanish to communicate with people. But once she got back, she told me that many people speak English and it wasn't too hard to communicate with people. Once I realized this, I was surprised that this story was told so constantly, but it wasn't true. I came to realize it was a single story through information from my friend and through talking to other people that had been to Mexico.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I'm sure people have various single stories about me, but to be honest if I don't know them very well I don't mind much. As long as it isn't something harmful then people can think what they want. I know who I am and that's all that really matters.

# data[].attributes.body
Yea, I've throughout my life so far. People have asked me if I was a certain ethnicity because of my skin color/the way I look. Some had assumed that I didn't know my ethnicity language, or my parents were born here since I'm an American. Even in Viet Nam whenever I come visit they assume I'm rich just because I'm born in America. I've always been told the sentence "oh you're Asian you're smart" one way or another. I still hear it till this day. In reality I'm just a normal teenager who struggles with studies. I'm no different from others.

I guess some people probably have single stories about me or not either way I don't really care.

Yes, I'm part Mexican and one day someone assumed I only ate beans since Mexico is well known for eating beans and harvesting them, I didn't really mind what they said I thought it was a little funny.

A single story was probably made about me but I really don't know because I don't quite understand it yet but I really don't care to much about it.

Yes, the single story was that since I'm black, I should be loud and aggressive all of the time. I knew because when I would try to express my feelings in a way that didn't involve yelling and aggression, people would tell me that I'm being soft, or that I needed to be more aggressive. It made me feel hurt, simply because I knew that people were stereotyping me, and didn't even consider how I felt about it. It hurt to know that people had no problem with categorizing me with a whole group of people, saying that were supposed to express ourselves and or act all the same way.

I used to think Africa was poor but I realized that Africa has many nice places that you can visit and it's really nice there and I realized it was a single story because I made assumptions.

When I went to Mexico for the first time I expected that the place would be like a dessert with poor small houses and the people would just sell items on the street, I thought of it like this because in Movies they would show Mexico as a poor place, but once I walked around the town I realized everyone was so kind and nice, the environment was so pretty it is nothing like it is shown on Movies.

Yes I have, I believed the single story of older siblings disciplining you was wrong, and that they're only doing it out of spite and because they're jealous. Every time my older sisters disciplined me, I would get mad and say that its not fair because they aren't my parents and I would ignore them. The way I realized it was a single story, is because the more the disciplined me, the more I thought about it. Thinking about it made me realized that they only want the best for me, and that they're trying to help our mom out with the whole parenting thing. So now every time either one of them disciplines me, I thank them, and I listen because I know they are only trying to help because they care.

Before I learned about geography, I thought India was apart of Africa and wasn't apart of Asia. I never knew that India was a country in Asia. Once I learned about it, it had all made sense. A lot of materials, religious culture, etc. came from India.

I heard single stories from a lot of people. They were about people or career paths and etc.
