Racial stereotyping- is a generalized representation of an ethnic group, composed of what are thought to be typical characteristics of members of the group. This picture is clearly an example of racial stereotyping. This picture shows how people view African-American people in general. In this picture it shows a caucasian man talking about America's present president Barack Obama, and since he's black, the man thinks that he will abandon his duties aka America and leave it to be run by some other authority who may not be the best for America. Basically this man thinks that all African-American men abandon their children and leave them to be raised by their mothers and stepfathers,which may not be the best upbringing for a child. I chose this this picture and the topic racial stereotyping because as an African-American I have experienced the racial stereotyping first-hand and know that it is not accurate and that it really affects people. Because when people begin to racial stereotype it never occurs to them that maybe every person is not like, what they believe they are. I really want America and people in general to see that racial stereotyping hurts people and can stick with that ethnic group for a very long time.
