Stereotypes come from reality.  We have stereotypes because it is often true...of course everyone knows that it is NOT always true

Answer 16

I assume you mean Indians from India and not Native Americans.

Indians are stereotyped on television more than anything. I'm thinking of Apu from the Simpsons, who works in a convenience store and says in a thick accent "Thank you, come again!". I guess this is a stereotype of Indians being extremely hard working at a very menial and almost low-class level. The women are also pigeonholed as housewives and mothers(in Bend it like Beckham), the men are stigmatized as unfaithful womanizers(Middle Eastern Borat character). Some popular stereotypes include; Cab drivers in New York, terrorists, dirty/smelly/don't bathe, uni-brow and what the heck is that thing on their forehead??, huge family crowded in the same house, uneducated women, stinky food and weird religious idols(elephant headed Ganesh, and Shiva, the goddess with multiple appendages) not to mention the sacred cow.

India is often lumped into the Middle Eastern category and is immediately tied to Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. But they aren't the same thing at all. Buddhism vs. Islam, Hindu vs. Muslim... The differences are staggering and the stereotypes just keep piling up. You might want to include some truth in your report as well as the inflammatory cultural slurs that stereotypes thrive on, so I'll try to help with that as well...

Indians believe that you don't kick your kids out at 18, the family stays together and the kids are nurtured and well loved(and very clean actually!)... Eventually the children marry and the families combine, the daughter and her dowry move in with her new husbands family. There can be abuse, it's more accepted in the middle east than in America because it's sometimes excused as tradition(an example is bride burning, too sad for me to explain but may be helpful for you to check out).

There is good and bad in every culture, religion, country and person. Don't forget that stereotypes are usually untrue and unkind, good luck with your report.

Answer 17

Answer 20

The whole cab driver thing.

Answer 21

Well i dont know about native americans but if you mean from india then your in luck cause im indian. stereotypes against me include all the fallowing: We are good at math, We work as a truck driver or cab driver, we smell like garlic, we have an onion under our turbins, our parents have something to do with 9-11 or terrorist and get stopped at the airport for random security checks, oh and the fact that we work at 711 and say " thank you come again".

P.S. if native indians then i guess they gamble, smoke marijuanna, and believe in old ritualls.
