Description of stereotype

Image (optional)

Example

A very recent stereotype has been gaining speed since the Coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China. This stereotype assumes that Chinese people are the cause of coronavirus which leads people to think that Asian people carry this disease more than others. I think it’s disgraceful that even our president has been calling Coronavirus “The Chinese Virus” and others have been saying things like “the Kung Flu.” What this leads to is Asians being discriminated against in public places like what we see in the media with people assaulting others with cleaning products.

How do assumptions affect your behavior toward others?

Why do you think we have certain assumptions about different groups? How are they influenced by our experiences? By the media?

How often in your life do you experience stereotyping either of others or yourself?

Do you think it’s important to question our own assumptions and perceptions of those in groups different from our own? Why or why not?
