Stereotyping has got to be one of the most common ways to describe something or someone just by knowing where they or those come from. Even though, they are not true. Or well, not every time. For example, in the videos watched, most of the assumptions or stereotypes given, were said to be true. However, some of these sterotypes remain as myths. In spite of the fact that stereotyping seems to be true, it is smoething that cannot be allowed to express notions or insgiths one may have about a speciffic group of people. It is way to better to ask instead of wondering and not giving the right judgment.
In a particular case, there are some stereotypes that people have around the world about Colombian people. There is the belief that Colombian people do drugs, dance really good or they are all "narcos". These assumptions are misjugments and lead to hate and no peaceful treatments. Furthermore, having these kind of notions deprive people of having the chance to really get to know people from not only this country, but also from every country around the world.
Be peaceful. Stereotypes portray the idea of ignorance and hate within.
Excellent post of yours! Indeed, I believe that stereotypes not only reflect ignorance, but also the willingness to affect others.
