stereotypes

Stereotypes are so widely known simply because there is SOME truth to each stereotype. I mean they are not all completely true, but they are stereotypes for a reason. Also the reason we see so many stereotypes are because they are seen everywhere and in media sometimes. Also statistics prove them sometimes; for example the stereotype of asians being extremely smart is a lot of the time true because in asia the children are much more challenged then they are in the United States. Also their parents make them do really good in school, it is just part of the culture and its that way with a lot of stereotypes they are just part of the culture. Also look at the statistics for testing scores on asians they generally are a little bit higher. Not always but its just a small statistic and its just their culture to challenge themselves more. I think stereotypes are wrong but in a way they are simply implanted in us as humans, its human nature.
