Stereotypes help perpetuate racial discrimination in a number of ways. Individuals who buy into these sweeping generalizations about racial groups use stereotypes to justify excluding minorities from job prospects, renting apartments and educational opportunities, to name a few. Stereotypes have led racial minority groups to be discriminated against in healthcare, the legal system and more. Yet, many people insist on perpetuating stereotypes because they believe there’s a grain of truth in them. While members of minority groups definitely share some experiences, such experiences don’t mean that members of racial groups all share certain personality or physical traits. Because of discrimination, some racial groups in the U.S. have found more success in certain professions because doors were closed to them in other arenas. Stereotypes do not provide the historical context for why certain groups seem to excel in some areas and lag behind in others. Stereotypes don’t view the members of racial groups as individuals, denying them their humanity.
