The danger of the 'single story' - great TED talk

"...the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete..."
'Single Stories' exist everywhere - about everyone.

via TED - I agree with almost everything in this great talk...Adichie does take her 'room-mate' to task though, giving us almost a 'single story' about her. I know she is using her as an example/symbol - but could that be how 'single stories' start?
