Stereotypes In The Helen Story

The stereotype is a thought that can be adopted about specific types of some people or of doing something. Many people can be stereotyped in way that sometimes are correct or incorrect. So, the unfair stereotype are racial and discrimination. Such as in the Helen story when she was a stereotype of Asian people in America. Helen said “ My brothers and I would sit in the theater with all the other kids in town watching the brave Zero pilots prepare an attack only to be intercepted by the all-American heroes-who were, always white. Then the entire audience would scream, “Kill them, Kill them, Kill them!”-meaning the Japanese. When the movie was over and the lights came on, I wanted to be invisible so that my neighbors would not think of my

as an enemy.” Helen felt in that moment less than others and could everyone look at her as scamper when the theater of Japan and World War II end because she looked Japanese. When the China became the evil Communist threat, the attention switched from Japanese to Chinese and that made a lot of Chinese people kept from living in freedom and the reason was the stereotype that all Chinese could be terrorist or spies. Just like at present, when the events that happened in Paris, everybody puts the stereotype of a terrorist on Arabic or Islamic people, and that made everybody feel uncomfortable because of the incorrect stereotype. For example, every time when anything happened in around the world, I always pray, please do not be Muslims please because of the wrong look that some people looked on us, it is same like they said you are bad person. In my view, I think there are no reason for anyone to point the finger of blame at anybody because of his appearance or nationality, and that wrong thought of stereotype made a lot of people feel prevented from living and satisfying.
