  6. Many of the connotations that Americans have of other races, ethnicities, and religions (other than their own) are not necessarily true. In today’s society we call these STEREOTYPES. This bulletin board is to help define what a stereotype is and also to discuss some of the racial associations we make today!

  7. WHAT IS A STEREOTYPE? Stereotype: a simplified and standardized conception or image invested with special meaning and held in common by members of a group

  8. The White Stereotype • All white people love mayonnaise • They are dimwitted rednecks and yokels • Whites are materialistic and pleasure loving • All white people are racists

  9. The African American Stereotype • All African Americans are poor • All African Americans love watermelon • All African Americans love to play dice • All African Americans eat and love fried chicken • All African Americans are devout Christians

  12. The Hispanic Stereotype • They are all illegal aliens • They ride 10 to a car • They are all lazy • They all cannot drive • They all refuse to learn the English language

  13. What do these stereotypes do? • Facilitate in discrimination across the nation. • Allow for hate to settle in the minds of people. • Destroy confidence levels in particular races

  14. What can we do then? • Start treating others with equality and justice • Do not judge a book by its cover • Be understanding of others differences
