Stereotypes Against Arabs/Middle Easterners

   

There are many stereotypes that target Arabs and Middle Easterners. A major misconception people carry is that all Arabs and Middle Easterners come with an anti-semitic ideology, however that is not the case. In fact, there is a number of Middle Easterners who do not hate on the religion and culture of Jews, but accept the other kind of people as well. In addition, people believe that all Middle Easterners either take the action themselves, or support the cause of committing terrorism, especially towards white people. this statement is not accurate because although there is a small number of Middle Easterners who have committed terrorism, that definitely does not mean that the whole Arab community supports or commits the terrifying act. Just because someone does something terrible, does not mean that others who are a part of their country also believe in the violence. There are good and bad people everywhere, and it just depends on the person themselves, but it is not based off of where they originally came from.

Here is a video on the stereotypes of Arabs:

Stereotypes and Misconceptions Against Brazilians

Stereotypes and Misconceptions Against Brazilians

Over time, many people have perceived many stereotypes about Brazilians, as well as being able to create several differing misconceptions about the Brazilian community. To begin, many people think of Brazilians to be the type of people who love attending carnivals, and listening to a lot of samba music, and lets not forget that "all" they do is play football. However, no one seems to realize that carnivals take place all over the world, and football(soccer) may just be the most commonly played sport in the area, as each country has its most popular scene, especially a most popular form of music. In addition, many think of Brazilian women as being the type to have dark skin, being extremely beautiful with huge curves, walking around pretty nude, and being an easy target to sleep with. Why would someone even come up with the conclusion that all Brazilian women are promiscuous, because this idea is obviously not a fact. Also, many think of Brazil to be a very poor community, where the authority is corrupt, and containing a lot of crime. Many seem to actually focus in on the positive aspects of the country, and focus on only negative statements. Brazil even has some of the most beautiful places in the world, starting with the Amazon Rain Forest, and to Rio de Janeiro. In addition, the most common stereotype of all would be that Brazilians are Latino, but Brazilians are actually no where near being Hispanic.
