            If given a choice, would you want your kids thinking such [stereotypical] things about someone they don’t even know?  A lot of parents don’t see it [racial stereotyping] as being negative because that’s the way that they think as well. On major thing that everyone as a collective community can do to stop racial stereotyping is to spread knowledge. When you hear someone talking about it or making a stereotypical comment, even if it’s a joke, say something to dissuade them. Share that it is wrong to judge someone just because their ethic group. Just give some facts and tell them what you know. It is a simple concept, but its true that knowledge is power.

*What do you want for your children?  Do you agree?

            Americans have evolved into one mass society of powerful elite versus alienated, apathetic, but easily-manipulated masses.  This is core of gender stereotyping- men are strong and women are weak.  One thing that slowed this trend was when women gained legal rights; they vote, hold public office, practice professions, and even own property.

*What else do you believe has helped even the imbalance of power between genders?

             That racial stereotyping exists today is indisputable, as evidenced by the re-segregation of schools and neighborhoods, the extraordinary numbers and proportions of incarcerated people of color and minority races, and the higher rates of disabling illness and lower life expectancies among people of color and minority races, to mention only a few indicators. The continued presence of racial stereotypes is being uncovered by social psychologists conducting research projects across the country. And yet, unlike in the 1950s and 60s, there is no major social movement comparable to the Civil Rights Movement to combat this re-emergence.  There are virtually no government initiatives to address racial stereotyping, and little public discourse in the mainstream media about stereotyping.

*Why do you think this is happening? Who is to blame?

            The rise of gay individuals coming “out of the closet” is higher than ever. The rich, the poor, famous icons, regular individuals, hard workers, bums, and everyday men and women are publicly identifying themselves as gay. One famous individual who publicly confessed to being gay was Ricky Martin, a Latin pop artist who has two kids. His coming out was a shock to most, primarily because of his children. After many years of hiding he told the world he was a proud gay man and it didn’t matter what was to happen to his career after his revelation.

*How would you feel if your father came 'out of the closet'?  If you were Mr. Martin, would you be worry about your career?
