This one might actually be a lot shorter than the previous one since there isn't much to write here
So yet again let's begin.
Animal Stereotypes
Actually quick note before I start talking about stereotypes,
In my Personal Opinion, I don't see Stereotypes as a form of racism unless you mean it to be,
For example, You say Chinese people have small eyes, and in some ways this is true but not always,
Saying Chinese people have small eyes is the stereotypes the racist part is where you make fun of them and say that they probably can't see well because of it.
To me at least Racism is treating a race superior/inferior to another race,
And a stereotype is an oversimplified image of a certain group of people,
Common examples of stereotypes
American's are Fat
French wear berets and carry around baguettes
African American's love to eat watermelon and fried chicken
The racist part about these are the meanings behind them,
For example a lot of people love to eat watermelon and fried chicken
but the racist meaning behind African American's liking it is that it is a lazy food and they are lazy.
So back to the topic
Where does animal stereotypes come from in the world of Zootropolis,
And if you place our animal stereotypes on them it is quite offensive.
Do apologize that this thought provoking post isn't as fleshed out as the others,
The next semester of my Degree course will be starting on Monday and the site may be less active for awhile,
