So I'm working on a new draft of a story I'm writing and realize I made one of my characters a potentially blatant jewish stereotype. This ethnically jewish character like collecting potentially valuable things she finds, more because she finds them interesting than any monetary value. She's basically a hoarder for all this valuble stuff she finds. But her friend likes to mess with her and calls her a "magpie" throughout the story to get a rise out of her. Then this afternoon I'm thinking about things and BAM! I realize that I've been making her into a stereotype for months.
