Donald Trump's Stereotypes

In this essay, I will discuss chapter 12 and how it relates to Donald Trump. Discrimination is behaving differently, usually unfairly, toward the members of a group. Stereotypes are widely held beliefs that people have certain characteristics because of their membership in a particular group. Donald Trump gave a variety of speeches and after listening to his personal beliefs, I believe Donald Trump is racist. Donald Trump believes that Muslims are terrorists and they need to be kept far away from the United States. Also he bashes African-Americans and insults women. Donald Trump insulted all Muslim women which is a form of stereotyping when he said "Look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say.

Trump has been recently trying to clear his image as being racist, attempting to be favored by a Black and Latino audience by stopping at urban centers where his key voters congregate. He has been calling media attention on any black voters, to help shed his tainted image and changed his view on immigration wanting only the “bad ones” to leave the country. He even made the point adamant that he is not trying to hurt people, making him seem more for the people then against. He has tried to put the point across that what do Latino and Black voters “have to lose” as they are facing terrible poverty. Although Trump is trying to appeal to black voters, he has declined appearing in front of the NAACP convention.

A large majority of the previous presidents have fell into similar categories across the board. They have been republican white males in their 50’s who are attorneys from the east coast. Though they all have very similar demographics, the specific qualities and beliefs they possess have the potential to effect the nation.

In today’s society, African Americans have faced vast amounts of stereotypes and hatred. In particular, the media portrays the rapper Kanye West as a ‘typical’ black African American who’s only good at rapping. Instead, Kanye is actually highly refined and can hold his own in many aspects, including politics as well as fashion. Kanye West is an American hip-hop recording artist, songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur, and fashion designer from Chicago, Illinois. When Kanye was just 3, his parents Ray West and Donda west divorced.

be sure about what is right and wrong when he was with his biological parents. His social self and self-esteem were disrupted. Looking at George’s social self, he was not a social person due to the fact that his mother kept moving around most of the time; he saw no point in making friends because he wanted to spare himself the pain of losing his friends again once they have bonded because they will have to move to another place again. One may also assume that George did not socialize because he was afraid that when people talk about divorce and what a happy family they have, he might feel hurt all over again.

President Trump's executive order " Muslim Ban" blocking people of Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia from coming to the U.S. Trump’s ideology is to protect the American people from Muslim terrorist attacks to make America safe again. Trump and his team may not be aware that by combining Muslims and terrorists; they spreading the suspicion, fear and consequently rising Islamophobia and racism. The ban disrupting the personal and professional lives of millions of immigrants who have been settled their life in America with the hope of freedom and fortune. Unfortunately, mainstream media have been controlling the flow of information, brainwashing and manipulating people, spreading misrepresentations and fears about Muslim, and

Jim Crow refers to a series of racist laws and measures that discriminated against African-Americans. These laws were made in the south to keep African-Americans from voting or just being free people. Even though the laws are disbanded, the effects of it still remain in the United States, in the form of racial stereotypes. In “This is America”, it demonstrates the examples of stereotypes that came as a result of the laws, such as African Americans being violent and the primary people involved in shootings and murders.

On the third, Trump tweeted “The rigged Dem Primary, one of the biggest political stories in years, got ZERO coverage on Fake News Network TV last night. Disgraceful!”. Trump attempts to show the extent of bias in the media exposing that they didn’t report a major event. This tweet has bias towards Trump’s personal agenda against the media. Additionally, Trump exposes the strength of the media’s gatekeepers and how greatly they can impact which issues are talked about.

I openly supported Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential elections—and no, I’m not racist, islamophobic, xenophobic, or any other beliefs in relation to those. Why am I forced to clarify that? You would be surprised at how some people, such as myself, constantly experience, amongst other things, being stereotyped as supporters of the aforestated solely due to conflicting beliefs. In a perfect society, one is able to freely voice their opinions without the fear of being labeled or judged by some as a result thereof. Sadly, that is not how our society is today.

A present day example for Zinn’s main position is Republican candidate for the 2016 elections, Donald Trump. During his campaign launch he talked about Mexican immigrants and said “They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They’re rapists”. Columbus used the Arawak's “primitiveness” as a reason to enslave them, Trump is a using stereotypes about the Mexican people to justify racism. By using racism in his speech he also incited nationalism by claiming Mexicans were somehow attacking the United States. In reality, according to the 2013 United States Census, Mexican Americans make up 10.9% of the United States' population or 34.6 million people all of whom Trump elects to ignore. Despite his obvious racism he is currently the top GOP candidate

Most people would say that a Conservative looks like an average white man whose ideas, beliefs, and physique are stuck in prehistoric times. I say that a Conservative looks like a conflicted nineteen year old hispanic girl. Conflicted in the sense that she can not disclose her political beliefs to friends or family because they will undoubtedly stone her. Explaining why you voted for President Elect Donald Trump to other hispanics is like trying to play chess with a baby, they just don’t get

My perception when first seeing this image was immediately visioning the selfish acts and comments about other ethnicities that Donald Trump has stated throughout his campaign. I noticed the grumpy face, and also the targeted countries on the map. The map obviously makes it clear that Donald Trump views the world in his own personal perspective. First showing that he views two other areas on the map as “rapists” and “terrorists”. This is something that he has also stated in his speeches, these two areas being bad, and the individuals coming from these specific areas are making our (his) world bad. Not only that, but also the recent statement Donald Trump made towards Muslims. This statement is the lead to the topic of Trump being disqualified

Even from a young age, I remember hearing discriminative stereotypes. A common one I remember hearing was that all blondes were stupid. Knowing that there were many blonde people that were in fact very intelligent, I knew this was a false generalization. It appears though that times really haven’t changed that much from my transition from childhood into adulthood. After observing the 2016 Presidential Campaign, it is obvious that these generalizations of groups of people are alive and in the midst of our world today. The stereotype that is being brought into light is by the current presidential candidate, Donald Trump. Quoted in an article that was written on World News Digest, Trump stated, ‘“Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad and have no sense of reason or respect for human life (referring to Muslims)”’ (Holland and Stephenson). To begin, Trump mocks the Islam religion for believing in Jihad. And second, Trump is suggesting we put a hold on allowing Muslim immigrants from entering our country, because he does not want any more terrorist attacks. So if he is banning all Muslims, does this mean all Muslims are terrorists? This giant generalization made by Trump has been the hot buzz not only in America, but in other

With the upcoming election, Donald Trump’s campaigns have caught the attention of the American society. He has turned the 2016 presidential campaign into a unpredictable show, just the fact that he is running for president with no political background is a joke itself. This sparked an interest in me and I couldn’t help but use this as a topic for my paper. In his bold and audacious speeches, Trump is known to use stereotypes to draw in votes. Whether it is against women, Muslims, or Mexicans Trump has said it all. So my journey begins first in asking, what is a stereotype? And how does a stereotype affect a group of individuals? Thus leading to the question which drives my paper, how does Trump’s use of stereotypes affect a voter’s opinion? As a voter myself I’m curious to see if

My dad's experience in the business world is that most people are genuinely trying to help the world in some way and that as a result make a lot of money. He Feels that once you start a conversation with a person you have to earn their trust and it can be difficult because usually they are being introduced to a new product. Then there is the fact that others will try to stop you and your growth just because they believe these stereotypes/misconceptions. People tend to want to bring you down as a result of others words. For example my dad had to win the trust of a location owners because there have been businesses the same as his that have rented the location and ended up leaving the place in bad condition. At first he was reluctant to even
