Misconception On Hispanics :: stereotyping

Miss conceptions In todays society we stereotype the Hispanic race as being lazy and having lots of children. commonwealth perceive the Hispanic race this way but reality we are all the same. We work hard to get were we are today in society. galore(postnominal) people have bad images of the Hispanic race because they see one Hispanic person who dress a certain way or point acts a certain way and they assume we are all bad people. For example if you see a Hispanic man that is baldheaded and has on baggie clothes people assume that he is a gangster by the way he looks. But what they wouldnt know is who he really is he could be a straight a student but only assume he is bad by his appearance. As in Brent Staples essay Black custody and Public Spaces when the man is passing through the park and the women assumes hes going to hurt her because of the way he looks and how he is acting the woman starts to array away. That is peoples bad miss conception of others beside themselves.Garc ia 2 Some Hispanic people try to go their whole life denying who they really are. Like in go across when Joan Steinau Lester tells us that all of us developed different ways of coping with stereotypes of our groups and of ourselves (260). Most Hispanic people chose to pass because they grew up around hardship and racial slurs from other that thought themselves to be better. Others chose to pass because they seen it wear upone to other Hispanics and did not want to encounter the same reaction. So rather than face who they are and were they pick out from these people chose to pass and avoid all the negative reactions. Instead of trying to pass Hispanic people should overcome and try to better themselves by getting a good education and get those good jobs. So they wouldnt have to pass they could be proud of who they are and were their family comes from. So they dont have to feel like an airborne plant, flourishing without roots (Holman 258). Hispanic people have avoided these harmf ul situations by passing our by staying far from those who understate them and not getting into confrontations. Hispanics have not put themselves in an environment where they could be harmed. They surround themselves in all Hispanic communities were they feel comfortable and they dont have to feel like an outsider in their own community.
