Knowledge is Power!
Every race is expected to fit into a neat little box.. Asians are supposed to be intelligent, upstanding individuals who for some reason can ace calculus but can’t operate automobiles. Blacks are supposed to listen to hip hop, wear their pants around their ankles and say “fo sheezy” all of the time. Latinos are supposed to be illegal immigrants who steal all of the good jobs like orange peddlers and janitors.
Is it really wrong to make those aforementioned racist comments? It’s true, some Asians really are brilliant, some blacks really do listen to hip hop, and some Latinos really are here illegally. Then again, some of the best hip-hop music in existence was actually made in India. Some Asians need as much math tutoring as anyone else and Latino doesn’t always equal illegal alien, yet these stereotypes often define who we’re supposed to be.
