Stereotypes

 Today in class we covered different stereotypes about Latinos and Hispanics. We were shown a TED talk as well as reading a shorter story to see the problems that are faced by Latinas.

It is obvious when someone is uncomfortable with another culture usually due to not knowing much about it other than the stereotypes.
