Stereotypes of today
* The United States is made up of different people from different place; People with different cultures, race, looks, and languages. Every day about 50% of us deal with what we call "stereotypes". I am a Latina American citizen and I deal with this everyday. Hispanics have been portrayed by the media as lazy, unintelligent, greasy, criminal, and alien. There is not a day where I hear things like " they all play soccer", " they're all illegal ", "all the men are construction workers and build houses".
* I've come to realize it's not just me but everyone else "Muslims are terrorists. All White people are racist. All Gay Men are feminine. All Christians are bible thumping, gay bashers. All African Americans are on welfare. All New Yorkers are rude."
* Although all of these are untrue many people still bash others based on who they are, where they are from, and what they look like. Even though progress has been made and been decreasing it is still being a big part of our society now. So now we don't have to know someone instead we assume who they are from these stereotypes in which all are false.
* Not every single person follows the stereotype you hear. By stereotyping we surmise that a person has a range of characteristics and abilities that anybody in that group or category have. Most Important A lot of these stereotypes give an impression of negativity .
