Answer 1

Answer:Tina is an exception to his stereotype about southerners.

Explanation:

A stereotype is a belief we have about other people that is not based on reasonable grounds but we strongly believe in what we think is true about particular group of people.

We are less likely to dump our stereotype we would rather think that an individual who doesn't fit into that particular stereotype is likely to be just an exception not that our stereotype is incorrect because we sincerely believe it is true.
