Stereotyping people by the sound of their voice

Do you ever stereotype people by the way they talk ? For example, if a person speaks bad grammer, you stereotype he is uneducated and came from a not so intelligent background ? or if a person speaks the "ghetto lingo", he must make a "miniumum wage" job, instead of some corporate desk job in a high rise ?

Just wanted to bring this up, because I admit that am guilty of this all the time. A couple of days ago at work, the company had a company wide meeting with all the offices around the world joining together via teleconferencing over the phone, and the CEO gave his quarterly "state of the union" address of the company, since the end of the quarter is almost drawing to and end, and the start of the 1st quarter is coming soon. So our CEO was making this whole mumbo jumbo speech (was half paying attention, because he was a basically trying to feed us baby food material) about the company's future plans and such, and he had this corporate speech sound that sounded educated and intelligent. I just made the presumption on the back of my mind our CEO was some late 50s white male with a Master's degree of Business or Marketing from some Ivy League school like Yale or Brown, because I never met him before. After the meeting, he sent out a company-wide email with some URL links to some pages about what he was talking about. I just got this curious feeling about him, so I went to the corporate website, and clicked his biography. Come to find out, he was a black male. I wanted to slap myself in the face after finding out the truth.

Synopsis : CEO of the company I work for has the sounds intelligent and corporate like a late 50s white male with a Ivy League degree in business or marketing. I thought he was white, but he is black.

I've heard stories like that from black people who will talk to an employer on the phone for awhile and they'll tell them to come into an interview. When they show up and realize the job candidate is black they're taken back, they don't actually come out and say "I thought you were white" but people can usually tell someone was thinking that.

If I found out my CEO was black I would quit my job on the spot.

I dont really stereotype by what they say or their grammer, but usually how they say what they say. Like the inflection in their voice, or the tone of it. Sometimes it can be a good indicator of character.

i talk like a mother fucking retard, i love to cuss, i love to share my opinion as the "only opinion and if you fucking disagree, fuck you and your fucking heritage you fucking Fox News Sheeple", i have been UNtreated for ADD, i stutter like a sausage, i go from explaining to customers the difference from ATA and SATA to why filling your HD with Alicia Keyes is fucking gay (my mind fucking wanders)


but it goes without saying i scored in the top 5% of California PSAT(i think thats what it was called in HS, maybe it was ACT) ($1000 scholarship) in my sophmore year, top 3% in my junior year ($5000 scholarship), and i got $15k scholarship from the same scholarship "owner or whatever) for scoring in the top 5% of the Official SAT across the nation.
