"I try to view things from a different perspective. To have more empathy for people who I don't share the same life experience as," said Armstead. "I think if you get in that thought process of truly working on yourself and working to strip away your own stereotyping of people or anything you use to divide or separate and put people in certain groups, I feel that that's what we have to get to. That's what we have to continue to strive for and continue to improve as people. And all of us do. Whether that's stereotyping a black guy, thinking he's a criminal. Whether that's stereotyping a middle eastern person, thinking all middle eastern people are terrorists and if you practice Islam, you're a terrorist. Stripping away all those things. We have to shift our brains, shift our focus and continue to improve in those areas. I think we all do, and I think that will improve society and work towards treating everybody equally. Realizing that we have more in common than society tells us. That we're more alike than we are different."
