Stereotypes

South American Stereotype

What is a stereotype?
 A stereotype is like a generalization based on one experience. Example, if  a Chilean goes to another country and make something awful, like steal or behave bad, then the local people will generalize that all Chilean people are robbers or don't  have no manners. Stereotyping can be vary dangerous, if we have one single experience with someone, and we think that everyone related with this individual have the same habits, we will be in an enormous mistake and probably we will became racist or will think the same way from racist people. A personal experience happened to me last year when I went to the US to holidays. In the airport, security separate Latin people from US people. Latin people had an extremely security revision, instead of US people who just pass by metal detector and just that. The security is very extreme in that cases because they think that all the Latin are drug dealers or criminals.
