Chapter

I have to say that i thought that the reading was really interesting, and i enjoyed, it basically talked about stereotypes. and how we use them today. stereotypes are very common in today's society, knowing that in America there are a lot of different races and groups, people create these stereotypes that tend to be very offensive to other races. In high school i took a class, and we talked social issues in society, and one of our assignements was to write stereotypes that we had heard about different races, and when i read this chapter i was reminded of the horrible, false things that my fellow classmates had wrote about other races, and how some students thought that they were true. one interesting one was that, "all Africans stink" and i found it to be very offensive. I thought it was most horrible thing that anyone could say about a group of people. i think that stereotypes are false statements of hate that people say about a certain group of people.
