Stereotypes


Mexicans mow lawns. Indians smell like curry. Africans are dumb. All African American girls wear weave. All Jews love pennies.  All Jamaicans smoke weed. Chinese are all book worms. There are hundreds of stereotypes out there. Some of them hold truth, others are lie. Stereotypes are often used with the intent to hurt only certain groups of people. I personally don’t like being stereotyped but I will admit that I have done it.

Which stereotypes do you think are truthful? Is it even fair to stereotype? Have you ever been stereotyped?
