read in books. Mexican workers in America can be viewed as poor people who are stealing “our” jobs and do not speak English. African Americans can be viewed as bad people who will eventually end up in jail. These are two great examples of stereotypes that are currently occuring in America, which are completely wrong. There are plenty of people of Mexican heritage that are engineers who speak English and are just normal American citizens. There are African Americans who are doctors and police…
