Dangers of a Single Story

To have a single story is to have only one description of a community or place, and you base all of your beliefs in this single description you know. For example, I've heard a lot of derogatory comments about Del Valle, which is where I live. What's missing from this is the truth, as Del Valle does have some problems, but it isn't all that bad. I've also heard derogatory comments about the Dallas community my uncle lives in. I don't live in the area, but I'd like to find out more for myself. A game about these issues could dispose of all these assumptions people have based on stereotypes.
