I’m FROM DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
In a short 2-3 page paper where students are being asked to think about the stereotypes associated with your ethnicity (country of origin of your parents or grandparents). Tell me a story of a time that you used the stereotypes associated with your ethnicity as a way of justifying your behavior (i.e. to explain ‘why you were late,’ or ‘a superstition’ or ‘why you talk loud.’).
1. Explain the stereotype in the paper. What would an ignorant person expect from someone of your ethnic background? A stereotype that would normally be offensive to you.
2. Explain a situation when you used the stereotype as an excuse for your behavior. How did it come in handy? How was it useful in the moment?
3. Explain peoples reactions to the use of the stereotype
