Are these wrong, or are they actual truths? I believe these are actually based on what we see the majority of them (race) are. I do label people, I'm not going to lie, but it is true. Stereotypes are usually composed of attributes the majority of they display. Asian usuare have accents. African American are usually ghetto. White people are usually are outdoorsey. Mexicans usually when you see few do yard work.
You see stereotypes and movies, commercials. etc. Our society feeds this into our brains. The movies "How High" for example if you guys have not seen, multiples stereotypes. "Scarey Movie" how they always say "the black guys always has to die first" Why would they do this? It is because we feed into this. We think as a society this little entities that are made up are commedial. Negative labels = funny!
Personally, stereotypes are in a way points where you shouldn't display. U jbniw some you can't change but certain things. Being filipino, speech is a must for me. Look down on for having a slanted eyes, and because of that I could display a F.O.B. accent. I really dont like this type of discrimination. I sat next to an African American lady in the cafeteria a few days ago. She dressed "ghetto" and that is exactly what I labeled her. I was amazed. She spoke so proper, not hood or anything. Her name was Angelica. She had 16 units ... more then I, a student, and even a track star. Smashed totally on what I thought about her first impression on me.
Stereotypes are WACK. Dont live up to them, be better then what is said. Prove them wrong. Just a little rant besides something about myself. Good day bloggers.
