Dangers of using Stereotypes in Advertising Many things we see in today’s media have some sort of connotation or link to a category of stereotype. We see these things on billboards, taxicabs, public transportation, or even in magazines. These ads, which contain a negative stereotype of some sort, create positive and negative impressions not only on the products, but on individuals as well. Stereotypes are everywhere according to Jenny Ellen. “African Americans play sports and run really fast, Latinos join gangs, Native Americans drink a lot, brown skin people are extremely intelligent but easily fooled, homeless people are drug addict's, rich people make there way through money.” Unfortunately, these stereotypes we see in the media are the result of what sells.

Until the late 1960’s, the dominant perspective among sociologists analyzing discrimination was that prejudice and intolerance were the causes of discriminatory actions. Other observers have focused on individual racists and have seen the problem as the individual motivated by hatred of a given race other than their own. Certain areas of American life are seen as transcending racism and sports has been one of these. While it is true that the admission of blacks to the ranks of college and professional sports was slow in coming, it is also clear from an examination of college and professional teams today that blacks and whites coexist and work together on teams in nearly every sport. Yet, a closer examination shows that racism has not been eliminated from the sports world any more than it has from American life in general.
A black man does not have to only be racist against a person of the different race but also can be racist to someone of his own race. That is what people misunderstand all the time but Hurston shows readers that what they think is false. You don’t have to be racist against someone of an opposite race.

Whilst most people claim to be not racist, everyone is guilty of having been committed some forms of prejudice in one way or another.
