As much as we all want to believe its not true, everyone is a little biased or partial to someone or something. As the years have progressed, stereotypes dealing with certain races or ethnicities have died down, but not completely resolved. Especially in older generations people tend to think of others in a certain way…a way that is no longer fit to be true. Yes, certain people might fit under a category they are imagined to be, however it is not everyone, not even close. Times have changed and so have people so its time we let go of what was once thought of a person and adjust to who they really are. Whether it’s a bad assumption or not, the cliché idea of labeling a person based on what they say, do, or look like needs to come to an end.
People need to stop thinking:
All Asians are unbelievably smart.
Anyone that doesn’t go to college is going to fail in the future.
That tall, African Americans are good at basketball.
African Americans are good at sports in general.
Mexicans are smuggling drugs into anywhere.
