There are stereotypes everywhere in the world. There are some really bad ones and racist ones, people can get really offended by these labels. At my school people stereotype and label kids. Even other schools judge us because Dinuba is mostly Mexicans. I believe that our school had many stereotypes and students judge each other.
When students get stereotyped it can affect they way they perform in something. In the first article, Sociologist Min-H Suing Huang gave a vocabulary test to black people and white people posed by a white interviewer, “blacks on an average answered 5.49 questions correctly and whites answered 6.33 correctly.” Then Huang gave the same test, but a black interviewer gave it, blacks scored an average of 6.33, …show more content…
Women always get stereotyped that they aren't capable of doing the same stuff men do or they can't do it as good. An example of this is all the fairy tales the kids read. The events that occur are similar, there is a princess or queen that is in danger and a prince comes and saves her. Samara Green wrote a whole article giving examples of women getting stereotyped and put down. Another example of girls being judged is by saying all women belong in the kitchen or to become housewives. Some people actually believe that girls should stay home and not have their own financial income. It's not just for girls, a stereotype that is the opposite is that saying all nurses should be women. These aren't true at all because any gender can be whatever they want, they shouldn't have a barrier or limit to what they can and can't do.

In the article, “What's in a (Muslim) Name?” written by Dilaria Hafiz, it says, “ granted, someone named "Mohammed” is probably a Muslim, just as "Mary” is probably a Catholic and "Dev" is likely a Hindu.” He also says that labeling people is nonsense because we can know people with a name that is different from the traditional name of that person's religion. Indians are the ones that mostly get labeled because of their last name. If someone has that last name “Singh” they are most likely to be an Indian. I know four people with that last name and there is always someone that asks if they are related to the other person with the same last name. It is because they are both Indian and have really traditional first names. I don't think this is as bad as most stereotypes. It's not wrong to just guess based on their name but it wouldn't be a good idea to say it out
