Stereotypes Of Stereotypes In Schools

There are stereotypes everywhere in the world. There are some really bad ones and racist ones, people can get really offended by these labels. At my school people stereotype and label kids. Even other schools judge us because Dinuba is mostly Mexicans. I believe that our school had many stereotypes and students judge each other.

In the first article, Sociologist Min-H Suing Huang gave a vocabulary test to black people and white people posed by a white interviewer, “blacks on an average answered 5.49 questions correctly and whites answered 6.33 correctly.” Then Huang gave the same test, but a black interviewer gave it, blacks scored an average of 6.33, …show more content…
Women always get stereotyped that they aren't capable of doing the same stuff men do or they can't do it as good. An example of this is all the fairy tales the kids read.

It is because they are both Indian and have really traditional first names. I don't think this is as bad as most stereotypes. It's not wrong to just guess based on their name but it wouldn't be a good idea to say it out
