What is stereotyping ?
"to believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same" (Merriam-Webster)
Society has formed stereotyping into an insulting or mean way of describing one individual. In this case, society tends to stereotype people based on their culture or race. Whether it is their appearance or ethnicity, people automatically assume that everyone in one particular race is the same. Basically we are putting a label on certain individuals and that can really make their self esteem become low.
How do we fix this?
We should stop assuming that one race has a specific characteristic. Everyone should look past one's appearance and see them for who they are and not their race.
CSUN can provide the real truth behind one's culture and educate the students on cultural diversity. We can also have certain people who experienced stereotyping give their own testimonies about how they proved those stereotypes wrong.
