"What stereotypes do people have about you? What stereotypes do you have about other people? Are stereotypes beneficial or harmful? Why do you think this?
Back when I used to go to a all black/hispanic school kids would have the thought that I would know all the answers to math. However I was actually one of those kids that have problems just looking at numbers. People would always have an idea of black people being in gangs and act all hardcore. Living in a setting with all my friends being black and hispanic many of them were in gangs but not all of them were in it. Some one were probably the nicest people that you can meet in the world. However stereotypes can be beneficial and harmful at the same time. For instance when getting a job if you are an Asian and your adverser is a African American. Most likely the person of choosing the Asian is alot higher if the person is stereotypical. Everyone has a certain stereotype even though you try not to. It is our nature to belive in something without certified proof and logic.
