00 Latinos:Breaking Down Stereotypes 02br
00The Latino population is growing faster than any other minority in the United States. Nevertheless, with the growing population and acceptance of Latinos, long-standing stereotypes categorize them so that everything makes sense. These mainstream stereotypes are assumptions to classify Latinos in a narrow way based on skin color, clothing, and physical appearance. For example, the most common stereotype people have in mind when thinking of Latinos is that everyone who crosses the border is Mexican. However, Latinos come from all different cultures. There are many Latinos out there from Central and South America, and the Caribbean Islands. Understanding these stereotypes are essential to understanding the challenges that every Latino has to experience at some point of his or her life. While Latinos have become more prevalent in the U.S, many people still considered Latinos to be lazy, uneducated, and poor. 02br

00There is a prevailing stereotype that Latinos are lazy. In reality most Latinos are hard working people. Latinos come from countries where lack of work is some of the day-to-day issues facing its residents. As a result, Latinos leaves their countries looking for better job opportunities, make life better for themselves, and contribute to the U.S society. In addition, Latinos want to make money to help back their families, sending money regularly. Once Latinos are settled in the U.S, they work hard in minimum wage jobs such as gardeners, nannies, construction workers, and housekeepers. The majority of Latinos are hard working people and will sell roses, oranges, and strawberries in the streets before they go out begging for money and food like many homeless people. Moreover, “Latinos are able to sacrifice their low-pay job while encouraging their children to pursue degrees so as to not be subject to the same marginal working conditions”(Shorris 134). 02br
00In addition of being stereotyped as lazy, Latinos are considered to be uneducated. Most people believe that all Latinos have little formal education, and most give up school. "First was the young chicana Stanford graduate who became a doctor. But prevalent assumption that all Chicanos wore nothing but working-class clothes"(Burciaga 459). In contrast, for most Latinos, education has always been key to success in the U.S. It opens new employment opportunities in society that those offered to uneducated people. In spite of the fact that the government has been closed many educational programs for Latinos by lack of economic resources, Latinos are interested in learning English and going to college. In contrast, few Latinos are portrayed as doctors, nurses, engineers, or college professors. “Another time, the same bato...asked if he could borrow my jumper cables. Again I did not have any, and again he responded, “Ooohh...What kind of a Chicano are you anyway?’”(460). Therefore, for those educated Latinos better salaries and socioeconomic opportunities are offered in society. 02br
00Along with being stereotyped as uneducated, Latinos are still considered poor people. However, Latinos are for the most part lower and upper-middle class. There are many Latinos living in the barrios of Texas, New York, and East L.A. But in the same way, there are Latinos in Beverly Hills, Miami Beach, and Las Vegas. Because of the color of their skin, the generalization about Latinos is that all belong to a low socioeconomic level. “He has a vision of us, being a Spanish group,” I said, “I own a business... buying a car is not something in my dreams; it's something I can actually do'"(qtd.in Courtney). Moreover, most people have the misconception that poverty, hunger, and misery is exclusively for Latinos. On the contrary, many of these day-to-day issues are equally affecting other minority ethnic communities such as Asian, and African-American. “The lower quarter was not exclusively a Mexican barrio but a mix of many nationalities. Between L and N Streets ..., the Japanese had taken over” (Galarza 414). 02br
00Stereotypes are assumptions made by a group to classify others based on skin color, clothing, and physical appearance. While Latinos have become more prevalent in the U.S, many people still considered Latinos to be lazy, uneducated, and poor. In contrast, Latinos are hard working people who want a better life for themselves and their families. Yes, most Latinos held minimum wage jobs such as gardeners, nannies, construction workers, and housekeepers. However, there are many Latinos with higher education such as doctors, nurses, engineers, and college professors. Therefore, for those educated Latinos better salaries and socioeconomic opportunities are offered in society. 02br
