Content: A cultural, gender, and racial stereotype that refuses to die down is that of the dumb blond, who while attractive is often considered lacking in intelligence. Another common racial stereotype propagated by the media is that which portrays Italians as violent, politically corrupt, and ignorant. These are just some of the most common stereotypes in movies and media. There are many such examples that exist. In the recent past, there have been studies that indicate that ethnic stereotyping has seen a negative trend. More and more people are becoming more open to accepting people from different races in their community. This is a move in a positive direction that we should welcome with open arms. Racial stereotyping can have a huge negative effect on society in general, if it results in discrimination. While avoiding stereotyping someone is not easy, falling prey to these images is not the smartest thing you can do. It can result in societal clashes and cause misunderstandings that are completely unnecessary.
