Question

Stereotype is always a controversial topic in such a diverse society as the U.S. Cultural diversity includes multiple perspectives which are the key to help people think critically. However, the differences in point of views usually cause bias and discrimination. According to Natalie Gross, people usually assume that Latinos and African American are lazier and less intelligent than other sorts of races. This idea influences many teachers and school associates, so they kind of create an unwelcome environment and don’t give the Latino and Black students opportunities to perform. As a result, these students become less proactive, limit their abilities, as well as set lower standards for themselves, and those things actually turn into poor performances, coming back to prove the prejudice stereotype. Therefore, more and more people believe that Latino and African American are lacked knowledge, look intimidated, and have a higher potential to be criminal. Due to this bias, many black people have to suffer unfair treatments, even though they are nice, well-educated, and smart. In his nonfiction “Black Men in Public Space”, Brent Staples, a black journalist, tells readers his experiences of being treated unfairly. People avoid crossing him on the streets and judge him as a thief or crime. He also shares a story of another black journalist who is hauled from a car at gunpoint because a policeman thinks he is a killer. For black people, these situations are not uncommon. They are alerted and taken for crimes in public, but they no longer get mad or feel ashamed because they get used to it. Even people who work for government and political fields are influenced by the culturally deficit thinking, which, in turn, motivate them to glance at black people by a different look. Hence, the criminal justice system becomes inaccurate.

Is this intended to be an essay? If so,have you learned how to structure an essay into paragraphs? An essay needs an introductory paragraph, a body paragraph for each of your main points, and a concluding paragraph)?

Frankly, nobody really wants to read a single huge and unstructured paragraph.

Were you simply asked to write about 'stereotypes'? Or were you given a topic in the form of a question or a sentence?
