Why are racial stereotypes always so...

lol wow, thats the problem
i always find it odd that whenever a white man goes crazy and kills 50 people in the US like the one at that high scool. isnt that white man considered a terrorist? because i think he is

Tim Wise has an excellent outlook on this. I was watching this series on a Dish channel called Free Speech TV. The series is called Keynote, and it regularly features some good speakers on different topics. He was talking about how privilege messes with our perception. Since we aren't a nation with an Arab Muslim majority, anything we see featuring that demographic is seen as representative of the entire race and religion. You'd think that the media would go out of their way to let people know that all Arabs and Muslims aren't like these crazy radicals, but there is a reason why people say, "If it bleeds it leads." That way people could eat it up and decry Muslims as terrorists. I always like to bring up the KKK when people act like that, just to even things out.:o
