White people like classical music, but they don’t really. Spanish people, they’re also lazy, supposedly.Which is the hard-working race?
I guess Asians have the hard-working thing going on.Any others?
Americans are fat. The French are snobby.Where do stereotypes come from?
I think it’s from a few bad apples, and then, since people might not be exposed to a certain type of people a lot they assume so much because of one person they meet.


Just because I’m a Puerto Rican, just because I like Spanish music, whether it be salsa or merengue, it doesn’t mean I’m only into that. Me in particular, If I hear somebody playing jazz or blues or even orchestra music I’ll listen to it and I’ll enjoy it. A lot of Puerto Ricans do the same thing. All people do the same things.

Well I think if you’re a minority group and you’re looking at a white person, you kind of think that they’re self-centered, out for themselves, and they look down upon anyone who’s not a Caucasian.

It’s hard to say. Conditioning? Society? Somehow we’ve been led to believe this stuff whether it’s true or not. It could come from our parents as well.Do you think stereotypes are true?
I don’t know. I think some people find it easier to live life as a stereotype than an individual, so they’re looking to buy into it. I would say sure, there might be some truth to it.

Jew people.What are things associated with them?
Jews are people with money. They don’t share the money too much. They keep money within. They are a very closed society. African Americans are lower class people and do hard work. And Asians are dirty. Go to Chinatown, it’s just crazy people.What about Hispanic people?
I don’t know too much about them. It’s kind of hard because I’m from Argentina, so it’s kind of hard for me to say. We are hard workers.
