Why do we automatically stereotype people before we even get to know them,especially when it comes to the color of their skin? Why do people care about the color of our skin rather than who we truly are?
I've been thinking a lot about my big question,and it makes me realize how unfair we as humans can be to one another. So according to, the dictionary of Oxford stereotype means "a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing." For those who were wondering what the word means. Anyways a couple of weeks ago I have seen multiple videos of altercations, where people were being stereotype by the color of their skin. Anyways in of the videos a person of color was taking care of two white kids, automatically a white woman approach them and ask those young kids if they need help. Or if the male who is black is holding them captive. See many of us when we see a person of color, especially black we automatically think he's dangerous or scary. It makes be upset an disappointing because we think this, and yes I know a lot of us don't think this way. But a wide majority of our society does. Many people have died because of their skin tone. A lot of us are discriminated by the color of our skins. Like if were brown, black, or any other color that isn't white and it's upsetting because it's who we are, but not many see that. Like who gives a damn what color we are were're human beings were all the same, just cause someone's a different color then me doesn't mean I should treat them differently then others.
