To the general public the rapper, the gangster, the one who dress urban, the black man with rims on his car will be assumed WITHOUT hesitation by many as " sure he was convicted for something before"..but the old white woman will be seen as everything in relation to innocent ..this is the current mindset of society..its not about Snoop or Martha..think outside the box

that's a generalization.

stereotypes are rooted in ignorance and/or bias

They are not and have never been mutually exclusive of each other. Most stereotypes are applied from a generalized point of view, so not sure what exactly you have issue with that I said.

lol.. oh my...

the pic depicts the thugged out weed smoking grimy snoop, and the cookie cutter multimillion dollar entrepreneur Martha Stewart.. and talked aobut stereotypes.. one of them is a convicted felon.. the person who MOST people would write down on paper as teh convicted felon would be SNOOP.. however, the felon is actually Martha Stewart. so it shows you that sometimes, what you think it is, is not the truth.

to answer teh question.. in every group there are folks that DEFY the stereotype but in a lot of strereotypes there's truth.. people take traits/mannerisms that are seen in a group of people and extrapolate it to label ALL members of that group.. like for exammple, all mexicans work in the back of restaurants.. or ALL chinese folks are short... when the mexican billionaire and Yao ming show that to not be the case.. sure there are lots of mexicans workin in restaurants or lots of short chinee people but is not ALL..

yes it's wrong to stereotype. each person shud have a chance to show who they are as an individual and treated accordingly.
but i think stereotypes are formed based on pieces of the truth and sometimes statistics. so (example) if there are a lot of convicted felons that are black the stereotype would be projected that if u see a black person more than likely they can be a felon rather than giving individuals a fair chance from the start to show that they are innocent until proven guilty.

My advice to you is message the original FB poster and tell him he should use another person ins tea dog Snoop.

Don't thnk he will care much tho because i think his mission is to project the underlining message of the photo

The message is clear. However, the creator should have used different subjects. Snoop has had his run ins with the law for years.

So does that mean its human to have stereotypes of another group of people? (taking this a little bit further)
