He is much more negative than Ricci and Las Casas in his words. Unlike Casas, Sepúlveda believes that in “prudence, talent, and every kind of virtue and human sentiment,” (8) the Natives were inferior to the Spaniards. As stated above, Casas disagrees with this entirely. This would also be a difference from how Ricci views the Chinese. He had great respect for them.
Media Influence in Ethnic and Racial Stereotypes People being generalized based on limited and inaccurate information by sources as television, cartoons or even comic books.

According to the Webster's Dictionary stereotyping is defined as a fixed conventional notion or conception of an individual or group of people, held by a number of people. The above words are the exact description of stereotypes.

Lastly, I will talk about the Sports centre. The local residents find the sports centre to look daunting and expensive as John Cooksley, the head coach, mentions ‘They want to play, they look in and they’re like oh that looks like a private club, it looks expensive, but it’s actually not so it’s, we needs to somehow break the boundaries’(‘Making Social Lives on City Road’, scene 7).

Undocumented Immigrant – It Could Have Been You In her article “Undocumented, Indispensable” Anna Quindlen claims that too many Americans assume that undocumented immigrants are a financial drain on our society rather than contributors. One way Quindlen appeals to our emotions is by pointing out that it is offensive and demeaning to use the term “illegal” to describe millions of people who are an integral part of our society. Criminality is implied whenever this term is used, but the vast majority of these people are law-abiding residents. Also present in Quindlen’s essay is a subtle reminder as to how each of us, at one time or another, have felt when we were unjustly blamed for something we had little control over. Because of this reminder, the reader can empathize with these immigrants when they feel many of our financial problems are unjustly blamed on them.

Nowadays, Chinese were still under the long shroud of shadows and the Chinese Exclusion Act brought potential impacts as well. Moreover, there is a saying that the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 remains one of the most infamous and tragic statutes in American history, and posted influences on several generations.

They have been suppressed and labelled as inferior human beings; stripped of their rights and dignity, and still prevailed in an immense display of great will and solidarity. The Chinese have as well been violated of their basic human rights in America; they have been unjustly penalized by unfair taxes and immigration barriers based on their skin color and nationality. Countless doors of entry to the United States have been closed upon them, but instead of passively accepting defeat, they sought justice through the legal system and found ways to better themselves through unity and solidarity. The countless contributions on behalf of both the Chinese and Africans, have completely transformed America into a culturally rich and diverse country. They have provided a backbone to the structure of the United States through agriculture, arts, industry, and invention.
