We use appearance to categorize people and then we come up with these categories and put people in them, so life can be more simple to us. We think everyone with the same appearance is the same and should be put in the same category and so that’s how stereotypes to these categories are formed. We think everyone that looks the same acts in the same way. They must all act the same because they all are the same, right?
You cant put people into categories because people are so much more complex.
They have a mind, emotion, thought. They have so much more than hands to hold thing and legs to walk and run with. They have so much more than a heart to beat and lungs to breathe with.
They are so much more than just bad and good. We have three demonsions for a reason, it shows that even the good people are not completely good and the bad people are not completely bad.
You are so much more than just emo, or muslim, or african american.
You’re not just an emo, but you’re could be the sweetest person.
And nobody will ever know because your stereotype is that you cut and you’re want to commit suicide because you’re so depressed.
You’re not just a muslim, but you could be the smartest or the wisest person in the world.
But nobody will ever know because your stereotype is that you kill the infidel and that you’re a terrorist and that women are so oppressed.
You’re not just an african american, but you could be the most practical person.
But nobody will know that because your stereotype is that you either rob people and a ganster or you’re too lazy to work.
There’s so much more to people than the categories we put them in.
