The one thing that defeats a misconception is tangible proof that it is wrong. So long as one society is separate from another, the misconceptions and stereotypes about eachother will remain.

Who is stereotyping and who has misconceptions? Is it the guy that wrote about the c-train? Yeah, that was stereotyping at it's finest. Why do you feel that Natives are treated differently than Hutterites?
Do you not see that singling out Natives as being the scum of society as wrong? Things don't change overnight but they will never change with the attitude that some people have.
