stereotypes

stereotypes are so widely known in our society today by so many people because theres some truth behind all the stereotypes im pretty sure a stereotype didnt start by a guy just randomly saying white men cant jump or black men cant swim .but but saying white men or black men your refering to ALL the peope of that race,religion,gender or whatever the stereotype may be. like women cant drive...im posititve there are some excellent women drivers out there( not including danica patrick who has done nothing in her career of hype) but then there are most likely a ton of bad women drivers and thats where the stereotype comes from. if we are talking about slavery and the civil war then theres stereotypes like white people are better the blacks or even the joke what do you call a black person with a palm leaf......antique air conditions. These things had happened more the 100 years ago are still coming up as sterotypes even thoug most of them arent true anymore. theyre still looked at that way. so overall a sterotype has truth behing it but most of the time not true
