Restaurant Stereotypes

Stereotypes can be seen everywhere. It can be about a certain race, sexuality, gender, age, class, physical ability or disability, etc. They are ideas or beliefs that are oversimplified on the kind of person or thing they are. The reason why there are stereotypes is because we want to categorize and understand the world around us. But it is not that simple to break down things that are very complex and really understand them. Culture plays a part since it what shapes our experience and reality. Gender is not a universal thing. We are not aware how our culture impacts our way of thinking and perception of the world. But like gender, understanding culture depends on one’s perception and interpretation.

What are stereotypes? How do they form? How can we solve this issue for the greater good? There are many definitions to describe a stereotype, but the one that many people agree with, like psychologists is that stereotypes are prejudgments and gossip about the world.

This goes in hand with this topic, because we make prejudgments about how we see our world without knowing what exactly it’s going on around us.

Stereotypes are unescapable. No matter what part of the world you are at or who you are talking to, everyone has some bias. Claude Steele say’s exactly this in his book “Whistling Vivaldi: How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do” when he states “ We could all take out a piece of paper, write down the major stereotypes of these identities, and show a high degree of agreement in what we wrote.” His piece addresses the effects of stereotypes, which result in what Steele calls “stereotype threat”. Stereotype threat is being aware that there is an expected behavior or response to a certain part of your identity and being afraid to carry out this expected behavior or response. The threat of proving this stereotype can cause you to lose

First of all, what are stereotypes? A stereotype is a quality assigned to groups of people related to their race, nationality, and sexual orientation, but there is not only one type of stereotype there are actually two types of stereotypes. There are positive and negative ones. For example, a positive stereotype about asians would be that they are smart and polite.

Because the United States of America is so diverse, it is bound to have stereotypes due to all of the different cultures and ethnicities.
