Neither Omar nor I are very artistic, so we teamed up to do a ‘not very artistic’ artistic response. Our aim was to make a semi funny video that also got a point across. The basic point was that stereotypes are bad (note the title, ‘Stereotypes are bad!’). We both have problems with stereotyping and also are stereotyped as well, so we put a little twist on the stereotyping subject. We revealed some stereotypes that some people have against white people too. Overall, all stereotyping is bad; we understand that it is natural to just someone just by their looks, race, or religion, but that doesn’t mean it is okay. What Omar and I have both tried to do is eliminate our prejudices. When we see someone of a different race, religion, gender, or anything else; we try to ignore our instinctual thoughts and wait until we are able to talk with those people to find out how they really are.
Our project was meant to hit on a few big stereotypes for Native Americans and White People also. We know that it is not normal to view white people as the usual target of racist remarks, and we just wanted to show how they also could suffer from that. We know that the American Indians think that most white people don’t know anything about American Indians and just stereotype them a lot; but by doing that, they are also being racist, although they might not know it. Our suffrage of racism is not near as severe as the American Indians, but it is does exist
We had a lot of fun making this video and comparing the stereotypes of both sides was pretty interesting as well.
