Prejudice

Pick a topic that you feel strongly about, and write an unbiased article on it.

Prejudice has been going on for years. People being judged just based on the color of their skin, or if they are girl or boy, poor or rich, blond or ginger. Stereotypes, like asians can't drive, or gingers have no souls, or girls are weak, or blonds are dumb, can also be considered a form of prejudice.

Many people think that prejudice is bad, yet they still do it. A major example of prejudice was the holocaust, where Hitler and his men murdered thousands of innocent people, simply because of religion.

Many people have tried to stop prejudice, but in the process, they only make it worse. Black history month elevates african americans. Instead of making them equal, we are making them better. Skin color should be treated the same as hair color or eye color. I'm not saying that all people should be equal, like a nice, kind person should be treated differently than a person who is mean and horrible and hates people. If you see a white person in the street, and he has yellow and brown teeth and bloodshot eyes, you make an effort to stay away from him, and that's considered smart. You see a black person in the street, and he has yellow and brown teeth and bloodshot eyes, you make an effort to stay away from him, and all of a sudden your racist.

You see a brown-haired person who failed a test with a thirty percent, and they're are dumb. You see a blond-haired person who failed a test with a thirty percent, and people start cracking blond jokes.

A hispanic girl gets into an accident, and it was just an accident. An asian person gets into an accident, and all of a sudden it's "You idiot asian! Why were you driving?! You know you can't f%#!ing drive."

I'm not saying that the blond isn't dumb, or the asian can drive, I'm just saying it should be based on the individual person. Should they really be judged by what they look like, and every little act that's stereotypical is attributed to their category? Base people on them, not a stereotype.

Then again, some stereotypes have evidence towards them. Blond hair has been considered attractive for hundreds of years, and they were thought to have relied on looks instead of intelligence. When someone asked Marilyn Monroe why she pretended to be stupid, she replied "Because men prefer me this way." African American people used to be slaves, and were forbidden to be taught basic things like spelling their own name. Therefor, they were highly uneducated, and when they had children, they were unable to educate their children. Some stereotypes  might be true. That still doesn't mean we should expect all blonds to be dumb, or all asians to be bad drivers.
Make your own judgment on whether or not to stereotype people. Just be prepared to except the consequences.
