Conculusion

Based on the data that i have collected in my research, most of the time stereotypes do not accomplish anything, but sometimes stereotypes can. The survey where all of this information came from was answered equally by both Blacks and Whites, but there were only two Asians, two Latinos, and five others. Every race has different views about what and if stereotypes accomplish anything and in this survey, both blacks and whites have both equally contributed, but other races contributed unequally. Therefore the information in the graph is in-accurate, due to unequal racial make-up.

Sources

The term 'race' began to categorize people early in the 16th century. by the 18th century it had evolved into meaning a type, sort or kind. when the English started their colonies, they saw their race, the white race, as free, and the people they had conquered were their slaves. the differences that the English saw in other races is what ultimately caused racial categories.

Do stereotypes accomplish anything?

Goal

i am interested in the topic of racial stereotypes, because i would like to learn where they come from and why they are created. Some say that racial stereotypes are learned based on the enviorment you live in. others say that they are learned naturally. i believe that both result in racial stereotypes.
