You can see where they were trying to get to just maybe they need to realise that they could be singling out actual kids here as opposed to stereotypes might be useful.

I would not like to live next to anyone who called their daughter Chayse.
what does that tell you ?

Funny that people think living next door to a vegetarian is a problem! Wonder why? For a vegetarian, living next door to a non-vegetarian could however be a problem because of the smells and the bones and stuff in the garbage bin.
How come Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Chinese and Russians were not included in the list, I wonder. ???

I don't think any of my neighbours even know I'm vegetarian, except for the one that invited me to
a barbecue. I turned up with my own burgers.

I think asking the children a question like that could easily put into their minds there was something wrong with the people listed! :o

Well spotted Floo! ;)

I suspect vegetarian is included in the list precisely because most children would be sympathetic to, or think neutrally of living next door to a vegetarian. And again you can see the point that they are trying to make which is why object to living next door to someone simply because they are different.
And that's why the options are not exhaustivd, it's a teaching lesson, even if what seems to be one that needs refinement, rather than a survey. To expand, the guitarist in a band isibviously meant to make some people think that it would've noisy and that there might be use of party pharmaceuticals but that's just following another stereotype.

I love stereotypes , its useful to the survival of the human race ,. without them we would not be here.
Today, in modern Britain they provide endless fun .
