Prompt:

The essays we have read in the identity, language, and free speech chapters have challenged you to reflect on some of the assumptions and cultural attitudes behind how we think about identity – what makes us who we are. For this paper, answer the following: HOW DOES POP CULTURE STEREOTYPE YOU?

Consider your many intersecting identities and choose the most obvious one. How is this particular community in general stereotyped? By whom? How are you portrayed in the media? In news stories? How are you represented as fictional characters in film, on TV or in song lyrics? How does this make you feel? How has your life been affected by stereotypes about your identity? Is there history behind the stereotype? Include some personal anecdotes about your experience being stereotyped, so your reader can truly understand how this stereotype about your identity impacts your real life. Compare and contrast your reality vs. the stereotype. Tell us your truth.
