Answer 1

Black Man: Likes sports, well endowed, spinner rims, sells drugs,etc.
White Man: Can't jump, Can't dance, Likes golf, republican, Racist, etc.
Black Woman: Big Butt, Dances good, don't take no crap, loud, welfare, etc.
White Woman: Weak, dumb, sheltered life, bitchy, sleeps way to the top, etc.
Mexicans: Cheap labor, dirty, non-english speaking, lives 30 people to an apartment.
Asians: Not well endowed, owns gas stations, non-english speaking, stingy, etc.
Middle easterners: Terrorists, Rag Heads, Non-English speaking, sand n!g*ers, etc.

This is an example that we had to do in a racial harrassment class that I had to do at work. You just think of the things, negative or non-negative that people think of when they pertain to a certain race or sex.

The dangers of stereotyping could mean like you would get better medical treatment from a black Dr. vs. a White Dr. but you pick the white one out of stereotyping or that you could have a potential friend that you stereotyped and wouldn't have anything to do with them.

Hope this helps! Don't mean to offend anyone. Just stereotyping to the best of my ability LOL!

Answer 2

Sterotyping means Stereotypes are ideas held by some individuals about members of particular groups, based solely on membership in that group. They are often used in a negative or prejudicial sense and are frequently used to justify certain discriminatory behaviors. More benignly, they may express sometimes-accurate folk wisdom about social reality.

So when I think of sterotyping I think gerneralizations like all blue people smell or something like that. Hope that helps

Answer 3

this isnt supposed to sound racist but i think it is important that ppl know about this stereotype

a stereotype is that if ur black and a male ur in a gang and arent worth thetime of day.

then there is the one that if ur a white gurl and ur dating a black guy u r trailer trash and will be disowned by ur whole race.

try searching it pn yahoo or go to wikipedia.com they have very helpful info and they even provide u with articles on the subject.
