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 most of it. Social
00:27injustice. Judgment. Racist. Lack of information. Have you ever been
00:31stereotyped? I'm Colombian. They expect to talk like Sofia Vergara. 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 her bag a little tight or throw it over her head.
00:57Asian people are good at math. I got that all the time. What are some of the
01:01most common stereotypes you hear of in everyday life? Women can't drive. White
01:06people can't dance. Because I'm a guy, it's easier. I think everything probably has a
01:12stereotype associated with it. What do you think is like the major problem with the
01:16fact that people stereotype all the time? I think a lot of it is that people don't
01:20even realize that they're doing it or that they don't realize how fun and cool it is.
01:24You should always seek more information. We just shut each other out. Can you think of
01:28any stereotypes that you think are actually true? Every single person is very, very
01:34different and I have never been able to categorize anybody. I don't think
01:38someone just fabricated the whole thing. I think, like, positive stereotypes are
01:41more likely to be said that they're rooted in truth. Where do you think they come from?
01:45I think maybe the media is the big part. It's perpetrated by the media. It's perpetrated by the media.
01:50Your parents. It'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 interest.
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,
02:10two arms, two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. So I think they do look the same to me.
02:14How would you judge me and stereotype me? I, like, look at you and I automatically
02:19associate you with Taylor Swift. The hair, the outfit. Taylor Swift, oh yeah? Yeah.
02:23You go to brunch a lot. You are a pretty energetic person. I like shopping. You dress cute.
02:30Someone's knowledge in clothing. I would like to be your friend because of the way you look and the way
02:33you act.
02:34We can be friends. Turns out most of the stereotypes surround racism. People do look like they're friends and just
02:42from looking at me,
02:43people tend to think that I have a good sense of fashion, which is funny considering my twin sister dresses
02:47me every morning.
02:48Thank you so much for watching and comment below. We want to know, what do you think about stereotypes?
02:54Wow. Well, I did model my short hair on Taylor.
