First of all, after seeing these two Arab guys walking together you will definitely think something like “are they going to commit another terrorism act”, ”where are they going to bomb this time” etc that surely related to terrorism, you won’t think other things except terrorism act, this is what we call stereotype.
I want to know who created this “stereotype” and why or how? Hate to admit it but I’m also one of these stereotypes. Why people likes judge people by his/hers looks, well this is very unfair to the other people, take me for an example, I have curly hair and my skin tone is brown, when people met me they thought I’m a Malay well actually I’m a Chinese, and just because I watch anime(Japanese cartoon) and manga(Japanese comic) doesn’t mean that I’m a otaku(Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga, and video games). Stereotypes can have a negative and positive impact on individuals, but most of the people talk about negative side of people. Many people know this idiom "don't judge a book by its cover" but still ignore it which is very sad and cruel and unfair to those judged by their appearance.
People should make a different between terrorist and Indian, eg, they are from different part of the world, they don’t eat the same food, they don’t even hate the same people, terrorist hate Americans; Indian hate each other, terrorist will blow up an airport; Indian like to work at the airport, so people shouldn’t mix terrorist and the Indian as well as other Muslims country.
Well, since we can’t change stereotypes, we can still safe ourselves by changing our appearance, eg, some Americans will see a Muslims as a terrorist right? What a Muslim can do is change their attire, wear western formal cloths with a tie, with that appearance, we can use their weakness which is “stereotyping” and turn it become our benefit, they will definitely think that Muslim with western formal is someone who work from the government or some important people.
We shouldn’t judge people by his/hers appearance, it is a major problem and people find it offensive through they knowing that they can’t do anything about it. If we doubt the person is it same as what you think in your mind, why don’t take another step and ask to get the truth better than guessing it.
