    Being a fast food worker for the past year and a half, I have been exposed to numerous different types of people, and most of them are not the same race as me. When I first started to get to know them, even though at times there was difficulty communicating, we were able to make it work and build stronger relationships. One of my favorite managers was Rose, a Hispanic woman who had been so kind to me. She was an example of someone who was able to teach me things about herself I could have stereotyped and not taken the time to learn anything about her as an individual. Growing up in Joliet, Illinois has always given me the opportunity to experience race relations on a regular basis, just due to the diversity of the city that I live in.

    It’s amazing to see how stereo types have changed over time. Today there are many stereotypes that say that African Americans cannot swim. Dawson stated that hundreds of years ago, the stereotype was African Americans could only swim well because they were closest to animal decent (13).

    National Security within the United States has been a concern since the 1930s and is only heightened during times of war. Naturally, due to the conflicts with particular countries, World War II and the Cold War created racial stereotypes. Unfortunately, those stereotypes lead to racially bias legal doctrines being created within the United States . The court was not alone in shaping these doctrines, as there was immense pressure from both public and military interests. Particular cases, during WWII and the Cold War, can give examples of how people shouldn’t be treated and how, at the time, every man and women wasn’t truly created equal within the United States, that the 14th amendment was a written law but not properly

However, it’s not entirely the general populus’ fault. We put labels based on what we see.

We see it in the three works of “Alright” by Kendrick Lamar, “The Danger of a Single Story” by Chimamanda Adichie, and “Pearl of the Orient” by The Jam Handy Organization.

    Stereotypes are a way to make sweeping judgments about a person or a group based not on first-hand experience or legitimate research, but rather solely on their race, their religious beliefs, their sexual preferences, and so on. “All the ‘isms’- racism, sexism, ageism, et al. - are founded on and fueled by the stereotype and the cliché” (Ericsson, p.3). For example, people who commit racial stereotyping believe that all Asian people cannot drive, but are good at doing mathematics; and all black people commit crimes, yet are good in sports activities. To stereotype based on religious preference, one would claim that all Muslims are terrorists and that they hate Americans; or that all Jews are cheap with their money. Sexual stereotyping includes the belief that all women
