White people cannot dance and have no rhythm



Even though the fact is different from the rumor, the majority of people say that it is true, it would be true. This is what I think about what stereotype is. The stereotypes are brought to people by media such as TV show, the songs and the movies. Since the majority of those medias is monopolized by white people, I believe that the racial stereotypes are more about minorities such as Asian, Hispanic, and African. For me as minority, sometimes I feel that our images are all controlled by a majority. However, it all depends on how people react to because only “people” can accept and spread the stereotypes. Therefore, there are stereotypes about the majority people that is about white people.




            This stereotype tells that white people cannot dance or has no rhythm. As I mentioned in this blog a lot before, I think it all depends on the each person. Justin Timberlake can sing, rap, beatboxing and dance. Madonna is the goddess of American pop music. Eminem changed the idea of hiphop culture with his amazing rap skills. Justin Bieber became the most famous white kid in decades with his singing and dancing skills. We cannot just say that white people cannot dance or has no rhythm. Apparently some of them cannot, but still we should not assume that what stereotypes is really true. The stereotype is different from truth. That is why it is called stereotypes. If it is true, we call it "TRUTH."
