Stereotypes

Stereotypes of Racial, Ethnic, and Sexual OrientationMinorities

Consider themeanings and connotations of terms like “hoodlum,” “beaner,” “towel-head,” and“fag.” These terms are often used with negative undertones and are related tothe racial and ethnic, and sexual minority stereotypes that exist in society.Although these terms, independent of other factors, are relatively harmless,the stereotypes they imply may lead to crimes against racial, ethnic, andsexual orientation minorities.

For example, inthe cases discussed in the Weekly Introduction, police officers assumed Dialloand Bell to be “suspicious” and armed. These assumptions then led officers toshoot and kill both Diallo and Bell. In the public outcry that surrounded bothof these incidents, many argued that Diallo and Bell were victims because ofracial stereotypes and assumptions made on the basis of skin color.
