Donald Trump's Negative Stereotypes

268 Words2 Pages
A single story is most destructive in creating a negative stereotype about a minority group. For example, Adolf Hitler grew up in a town where the mayor was anti-semitic. Due to the single story that Hitler grew up with, he thought all Jews were bad. This caused him to blame the Jews for what happened and that having Jews in Germany was a setback for the Germans. Also, After the 9/11 attacks, Muslims have been discriminated because of this one event. The Nominee for the Republicans, Donald Trump, has even gone so far to say, “… I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down … ". Donald Trump has quite expressive opinions because of that one event that he watched before

Discrimination against any race, no matter what the reason is always very wrong. In the book “Farewell to Manzanar” the Japanese-Americans were blamed for the attack on Pearl Harbor even though they had no part in it. The Jews in the the novel “Night” were targeted for absolutely no reason besides the fact that Hitler did not like them. Both races were sent away to be isolated from the world to different types of camps. While the concept of the camps were the same, they had very opposite living conditions.

Morrison’s Recitatif is a thought-provoking story about an inter-racial childhood as two girls partially grow up in an institution without their mothers. Roberta’s mother was sick and Twyla’s mother wanted to dance all night, or so the girls believed.

“The very ink with which history is written is merely fluid prejudice.”-Mark Twain. Two events that are written all over with prejudice are the Holocaust and the lynchings of African-Americans during the Reconstruction Era. The two events are perfect examples of racism and scapegoating in the sense that the Nazis and the KKK had to kill and get rid of blacks and jews because they were the cause of a major world problem when really the only difference was the pigment of their skin or what God they believed in. The two events are very different in their execution and the result but the intention was the same and that is why the two events are equally evil on a moral standpoint.

I agree with Trudeau’s ideals of how national relationships should operate. In my view, it’s because some don’t prioritize interaction and being open with each other that our current society is plagued by a discriminative feature: stereotypes. The problem affects both our government and social society. Because of stereotypes, there are certain aspects expected from a person because of their race, beliefs, and/or culture. Stereotypes are widely known and are hard to get rid of since, some choose to be ignorant in learning the various types of people we will come to communicate with; their lack of knowledge would force them to use the information available to them, which are stereotypes.

Jem, Scout, and Dill always stereotype Boo Radley without knowing him or knowing his real story. To explain this example I say people always stereotype people without knowing the person. When a person is walking down the street another person will be stereotyping him or her for religion or race. Another example is when they put Tom Robinson in jail for rapping a white women, but he was innocent. The court won't hear his side they think he is lying because Tom is black.

Like a strategy straight out of Sun Tzu 's Art Of War, Hillary Clinton is using Donald Trump 's own party against him in a brutal new campaign ad that shows even the majority of Republicans find Trump distasteful and potentially disastrous for America.

Being a fast food worker for the past year and a half, I have been exposed to numerous different types of people, and most of them are not the same race as me. When I first started to get to know them, even though at times there was difficulty communicating, we were able to make it work and build stronger relationships. One of my favorite managers was Rose, a Hispanic woman who had been so kind to me. She was an example of someone who was able to teach me things about herself I could have stereotyped and not taken the time to learn anything about her as an individual. Growing up in Joliet, Illinois has always given me the opportunity to experience race relations on a regular basis, just due to the diversity of the city that I live in.
