I thought this site was really great and relevant to some of our discussions in class. This is one interesting presentation around race that I thought you might relate to. It comes from a post entitled, 'The Questions People Get Asked About Their Race'. I also really appreciated another post on the stereotype of black people loving fried chicken. The post references the film The Birth of a Nation which is available for streaming on Netflix. When we talk about the history of race and stereotypes, media has, and still is one place with a powerful influence.

Although many of the comments were fairly new ones to me, I was not surprised to find these types of questions were asked. Its all about the pre-conceived array of notions that we associate with different groups. All of these notions relate to the stereotypical image & understanding of a certain group. The most famous one that I always receive is, "Oh, you're Egyptian? You don't dress like one." * Because I am not Muslim I dress differently than the typical Arab?
