I have only lived here in America where a majority of power is held by white people. I don't know about in other countries, but here, being white is an advantage. People can argue that white privilege is not real, but I think it is obvious that it is. Yes, every race and every group has stereotypes, but some are to the extent of affecting people's lives in a major way. It may hurt my feelings or make me feel angry when people say I am smart because I am asian, but that does not endanger my life or affect me in a major way. There are stereotypes against white people like "rednecks" or "school shooter", but their lives are not changed or put in danger by these stereotypes. There are, however, some stereotypes that do endanger people's lives in a very prominent way. For example, the "all muslims are terrorists". Muslims are victims of so many hate crimes and mistreatment because of how many people believe the stereotype about them is true, even though there is clear evidence that not all muslims are terrorists. Black people are also greatly affected by stereotypes against them. In history we are talking about the civil rights movements and the racism that existed then. Even though things have changed greatly since then, racism still exists and still affects people.

Why do we take one experience and let it shape a large stereotype? A common stereotype I face is that "all Muslims are terrorists" but based upon statistics, Muslims do not commit a very small portion of the worlds crimes, and not only this, but why do the actions of these few reflect upon this whole group?
