Stereotype in MY mind..


Based on my experiences,i have seen many stereotypes around us everyday..
Stereotype is defined as public belief about specific groups,types or people..
I have a cute example to share with you all..
when u walking on streets,u saw a foreigner in white skin,what u will think about him?
Speaking English well ? an American ? haha..
These was what in my mind..
Many Hollywood movies have vilifies and changes the first impression of a thing or people..

Example: White skin as hero, Eastern people are not good in English and funny,western countries are advanced countries and so on..
I remembered when i was small,i like to watch cartoons a lot..almost everyday..haha
The bad characters in cartoon are always with moustache , fat, talks in hoarse voice, black and likes to shouting..
now i think back" not all people like this are bad people,some are kind people"..
I like to read magazines..i will buy one magazine mostly is based on its cover..
the covers usually used sexy girls or men models as figures in cover..It seems like with these covers will have better sells..

PS: I not mean those adult magazines..haha..

I would like to know what is your stereotype too,haha..so comment in below..
thanks..=)

  2. I agree with you. This is why, stereotype create issues such as racism.

    For example, when we see a black guy, we call him NIGGA , which is very offending.

    This is why, mind our mouth when we are talking about stereotype. It may cause misunderstanding.

  5. in western cartoon, bad characters are fat and with mustache, thats true. Most media use sex to attract audience because it is the most original reflection of human to be excited to sex.
