Which came first: the stereotype of a group, or the group themselves.
People have this idea that if a member of a group acts a certain way that supports the stereotype, they are "fueling the stereotype"

Makes no sense.

I don't care about that "fueling the stereotype" nonsense because to be honest half the time these stereotypes are true. I say embrace the stereotype if that's who you truly are. Why change who you are just because you don't want to be labeled as a "stereotypical so-n-so?" Be proud of who you are, where you come from, and what you enjoy doing because there are those out there who are so caught up in trying to be different that they forget to enjoy the simple things that make us all the same.

The rooster.

None of those factors came first, it's the extended factor that led to those existing.

...No, I just have no answer and wanted to promote the rooster idea. >.<
