On the other hand, stereotyping can create perkara because it, researchers suggest, may result in racial discrimination. In its most overt form, racial discrimination occurs as we attribute the same negative characteristics to all members of a group, regardless of individual differences. It is usually based on misconceptions, incomplete information and/or false generalizations.
Researchers have found that stereotypes exist of different races, cultures, or ethnic groups and racial stereotypes always seem to favor the race of the holder, and belittle the others. In 1933, for example, Katz and Braly gave a list of 84 personality traits and asked American university students to pick out five or six traits which they thought were typical of each nationalities/ ethnic group. The result shows that there was considerable agreement in the traits selected. White americans, for example, were seen as industrious, progressive, and ambitious, while African Americans were seen lazy, ignorant, and musical.
In other research, Lowery examined just how readily people associate particular social groups with certain kinds of feelings. In a subliminal word-association exercise, black people’s faces were more quickly associated with negative words, while white faces were linked with postitive words.
Another research proves that even people who disavow prejudice can fall into racist traps. Since negative stereotypes about various racial groups bombard us everyday in the mass media , they deposit their residue deep into our minds. Even among the most well-intentioned and consciously egalitarian people, nonconscious association about ethnic groups still have an effect on behavior and attitudes.
