I'm looking for examples of stereotypes.?

Question

I need some great examples of stereotypes for photography. I thought over the ones like "all blondes are dumb", "all asians are smart." I need an example that will shine out from the rest. Thanks.

Answer 1

I do NOT believe in these, but here are some stereotypes:

Native Americans: savages, cultural sell-outs, casino owners

Black: poor, uneducated, lazy, loud, overweight, like to complain
Black men: athletic, "large", violent
Black women: dominating, "in your face", "angry black woman"

White: sophisticated, beautiful, racist

Asian: intelligent, untrustworthy, quiet, polite, bad drivers, "all look the same"
Asian men: nerdy, perverted, asexual, "small"
Asian women: easy/sexually promiscuous, submissive, mean

Hispanics: lazy, poor, uneducated, dirty, drug-users and dealers
Hispanic women: maids, like to complain, violent
Hispanic men: "Latin lover", pool boy, homosexual

Middle Easterners/Muslims: terrorists, untrustworthy

Jews: wealthy, spoiled, miserly

Australians are all sports mad Croc Hunter types, that live in the Outback.....
Not true of course. Most Aussies live near the coast (in Urban and Suburban areas) and are more likely to go to a cultural event (Gallery , theatre etc.) than a sports game (though we do love our sport!) It is also the only country were poetry books can be on the bestseller list! Austrialians are also some of the most widely travelled people in the world.
