Stereotypes Against Latin Americans (10/27/15)

Stereotypes Against Latin Americans




The Majority of Latin Americans have to deal with much stereotype against their race often, and this is a conflict that needs to be stopped. No one should be harassed due to the background they came from because everyone is human, and there should be a stable enforcement of equality across all races. Lets look at a stereotypes that Latin Americans have to deal with on a day to day basis. To start off, a main stereotype Latin Americans face is being looked upon as being poor, and pertaining a low-income salary. This also comes from having low-income jobs. People need to realize that this perspective of Latin Americans is not true at all, and coming from my personal experience, I know some Latin Americans who are placed in highly ranked positions in their job force. In addition, these people receive a steadily high income from their careers. This proves the stereotype to be inaccurate, and media has evolved this stereotypes, and does not allow it to cease. Media did this by portrayed Latino males as gardiners, Latino women as maids, etc. When will all the discrimination end?

Stereotypes and Misconceptions Against Hindus (10/19/15)

Stereotypes and Misconceptions Against Hindus






 In today's times, many people carry around inaccurate perceptions of the people who follow the religion of Hinduism. Let's take a look at some of these misconceptions. For instance, many civilizations portray the Hindus as "idol worshippers." However, that is incorrect since Hindus only worships and pray to an object that is a reminder, or a divine representation of God. Some people even tell Hindus that hinduism is not a religion, like the way christianity and Islamic religions are. However, though it may not be as well known as the other religions, it is still a religion followed by many people. In fact, it is placed third as the third largest religion. Do people even realize that over time these rumors eventually cause Hindus to not feel comfortable to talk to others about their religion, in addition to feeling somewhat unconfident in terms of their religion. The acts of unkindness from one person to another can cause the Hindus to feel very insecure , and that needs to end now.

The Effects of Stereotypes on Jews (10/06/15)

The Effects of Stereotypes on Jews

Shows the stereotype of Jews dividing their loyalty between USA+Israel.








                Throughout much of history, Jews have always been victimized, and the stereotypes this group always receives definitely affects their everyday lives. Lets take a look at some of the stereotypes Jews have had to face for centuries now. Jewish people are seen as being very persuasive, powerful, and mighty. Also, they are said to be splitting their honors between the United States of America and Israel. In addition, Jews are said to have very clannish  characteristics traits, in addition to being aggressive and greedy. Many unnecessarily think that they are self-absorbed and good businessmen, and this irrational stereotype effects the Jews by creating limitations in people hiring Jewish people to work for them in business. In addition, it may cause Jews to have a more difficult time to communicate with other types of people based off of false information they have obtained from rumored stereotypes. Overall, Anti-Semitism and stereotypes against the Jews have surely increased, but that does not mean they do not exist anymore. In fact, there are many who even still, to this very day, consider these stereotypes and follow through with them. Why is it that people always jump to conclusions, rather than trying to figure out the truth about someone else through their own experiences? That is something people need to learn, so they do not always judge others, but rather try to make a difference in improving society, in opposition to making it a darker place.
