The only purpose of this thread is to show that we all have stereo typical views of people. very few people ever match the stereotype of any group.
I am only using American's as an example. It seems that most people view American's as being:
White, rich, Christian, Evangelical, immoral, militant and capitalistic
White? Just how many are white? 20% of us are Hispanic, 15% are Afro-American, 4% are Asian and nearly 10% of us are Native American or Pacific Islanders. The rest of us seem to be mixed race.
At least 20% of us are foreign born immigrants. Most of us are only second or third generation settlers.
Do you see Americans as being white? What about us? we are Americans:
Perhaps you think of Americans as being rich? We are Americans:
Yes, poverty is a reality in America, just as it is for millions of other human beings on the planet. According to the US Census Bureau, 35.9 million people live below the poverty line in America, including 12.9 million children.
The truth is many if not most Americans are not:
White, rich, Christian, Evangelical, immoral, militant and capitalistic
Stereotypical views about any people are usually wrong and just apply to a small minority. May all of us learn to see each person as an individual and understand that our views about any group are probably jaded and biased.
