Everyone has heard someone making fun and or showing bigotry to another person just because they are of a certain race and or ethnicity. Usually you hear the person using some ridiculous stereotype to insult the person, which occasionally leads to a altercation. In this take, I'll show the most notorious stereotypes that need to stop already. Keep in mind that I'm referring to stereotypes that are common here in the U.S. The picture collages don't show stereotypical photos.
Asian-Americans have stereotypes that usually targets Asian-American males. The most common and ridiculous one is the stereotype that all Asian men have small "you know what", another stereotype is that all Asian men are effeminate/foppish and that they are wimps. The third stereotype is that Asian men are undesirable by women of different races. The fourth stereotype is that Japanese men are perverts. Now the stereotypes that target Asian-American women is that they have flat breasts, butts and overall have "poor physique". Another stereotype Asian-American women face is that they have a fetish for white men. Now the stereotypes that both genders face is that they can't speak very good English, bad drivers, are "Un-American", eat everything that breathes and are nerds. All of these are stereotypes, they aren't true for every Asian-American or Asians in general.
European-Americans(whites) face various stereotypes, the first and most insulting stereotype is that all whites are racists that are against interracial marriage, against people who aren't white living around them and feel superior. We all know that there are racists in every race not just one race. The next one is that white people can't dance. The next stereotype is that all Germans are nazis. Yes unfortunately there are people that scream "Nazi!" whenever they see a German. Lastly, Blond women are stereotyped to have less intelligence for some reason. Lastly there is a stereotype that southerners practice sexual relationships by blood.
Blacks suffer various stereotypes as well. The first stereotype is that they are all uneducated. The next one is that they are all criminals. Black men have a stereotype that they all have large "you know what", it might sound like a compliment to a lot of people but it is objectifying them. Another stereotype is that every black person likes rap and hip hop.
The most common stereotype for Hispanic-Americans is that they are illegal immigrants. Another stereotype is that they are all poor. The third stereotype is that they are landscapers. The fourth stereotype is that they have poor education. Lastly there is a stereotype that they can't speak English good.
Currently, Middle Easterners are targeted by many Bigots. The most common stereotype is that they are all terrorists. There is a stereotype that all middle Eastern men are "misogynists". Lastly, there is a stereotype that they are all one religion.
Mixed people like myself are susceptible to a combination of the stereotypes I just mentioned if it's obvious that you are mixed. People tend to assume I am only Japanese, when I also have Mexican Heritage(mestizo). I do get weird reactions when people find out I'm a American of Japanese and Hispanic descent.
While I've never had any stereotypes directed at me, I know some people that have had stereotypes directed at them. Just remember that nobody is safe from ethnic and or racial stereotypes. Maybe one day stereotypes will stop.
