For many, these portrayals become the primary reference point for understanding the traits, behaviors, and values of people from different communities, backgrounds, and cultures. In many cases, these representations serve as the only exposure individuals may have to groups outside their own. The Stereotype Project Foundation seeks to deconstruct the way we learn about people and cultures while highlighting the gaps and illuminating limited and biased representations of social groups. We want to create a tectonic shift in how individuals see and relate to one another. While changing the data, they use it to make judgment decisions when personal contact cannot be made. https://www.thestereotypeproject.org/sdb/example daily 0.75 2021-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aec31c4df47b1c81f709a2/1631776437073-JG4M69QOFCT6XG92WYX0/I%27se_so_happy_-_postcard.jpeg Example - Make it stand out Early-1900s postcards often depicted African-Americans as animalistic creatures "happy to do nothing but eat watermelon" – a bid to dehumanize them.
