00:00Lucy Fink here and I'm just as guilty as anyone else when it comes to making
00:04snap judgments about people or certain ways of doing things. But what is the
00:09real problem when it comes to stereotyping? And could there maybe be a
00:13kernel of truth to some of these stereotypes? I want to know what do you
00:17think about stereotyping? What is the first word that comes to mind when you
00:22hear the word stereotypes? Yuck. Really unconscious bias is mostly. Social
00:27injustice. Judgment. Racist. Lack of information. Have you ever been
00:31stereotyped? I'm Colombian. They expect to talk like Sofia Villarra. A lot of people assume I live in
00:37Brooklyn or, you know, in some ghetto neighborhood. I'm like, no. As I'm gay,
00:42actually, people think that I'm dangerous for society. Little rich white girl.
00:47I automatically assume lower middle class, not educated. You're walking down the
00:52street and try to see her, like, clutch a bag, a little title, throw it over her head.
00:57Asian people are good at math. I got that all the time. What are some of the most common
01:02stereotypes you hear of in everyday life? Women can't drive. White people can't dance.
01:08Because I'm a guy, it's easier. I think everything probably has a stereotype associated with it.
01:13What do you think is, like, the major problem with the fact that people stereotype all the time?
01:18I think a lot of it is that people don't even realize that they're doing it or that they don't
01:22realize how powerful it is. You should always seek more information. We just shut each other
01:27out. Can you think of any stereotypes that you think are actually true? Every single person is
01:33very, very different and I've never been able to categorize anybody. I don't think someone just
01:38fabricated the whole thing. I think, like, positive stereotypes are more likely to be said that
01:42they're rooted in truth. Where do you think they come from? I think, uh, maybe the media
01:46is going to be a big part of it. It's perpetrated by the media. It's perpetrated by your parents.
01:51It's a rumor, like, started spreading and then it got twisted into a stereotype.
01:58I'd say it's definitely true to some degree. I assume that they'll have the same interests.
02:02I think as time goes on, you know how, like, you end up looking like your dog or you end
02:06up looking
02:06like your partner. They probably do look like my friends. Most of my friends have two legs, two arms,
02:11two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. So I think they do look the same to me. How would you
02:15judge me and
02:16stereotype me? I, like, look at you and I automatically associate you with Taylor Swift. The hair, the outfit.
02:22Taylor Swift, oh yeah? Yeah. You go to brunch a lot. You are a pretty energetic person. I like shopping.
02:29You dress cute. So more knowledge than clothing. I would like to be your friend because of the way you
02:33look and the way you act. We could be friends. Turns out most of the stereotypes surround racism. People do
02:40look like they're friends and just from looking at me, people tend to think that I have a good sense
02:44of fashion, which is funny considering my twin sister dresses me every morning. Thank you so much
02:49for watching and comment below. We want to know what do you think about stereotypes? Wow. Well,
02:55I did model my short hair on Taylor.
