In this short video a group of people analyze the stereotypes that are commonly associated with their ethnic group type. It is an educational video done for a media class that explores the thoughts and feelings of those centered around these ideas. It is a short very well spoken and to the point that really relates to viewers on any of those sides. It first list all the ideas and names that these people are associated with, then it challenges them. Can you relate to this? Have any of these concepts been inferred about you?

I, myself, have perhaps once or twice been judged by my ethnicity. I was with my cousin some store, and we happened to be the only hispanic people there. As we walked around the store, my cousin whispered to me in Spanish, to keep it between the two of us, that one of the employees there kept staring at the two of us. We both assumed that the employee saw us as theives seeing that we were both hispanic. I think that was only time somebody was prejudice of who I was, or at least, I think the person was.
