1. Stereotypes are not always negative

I do not agree with this assumption as even if the stereotype is positive such as Jamaican’s are really cool and easy going, the fact that it is a stereotype makes it negative, as not everyone that falls into the group being stereotyped will want to be seen as like that. They may just want some individualism.

This video from Band of Brothers shows the character Bill Guarnere, who is a stereotypical Philadelphia man, shown as strong, tough and a bit hot headed, which is positive with his job being a soldier.
