BEFORE COMMENTING, you MUST cover all the material in LECTURE 1.
Identify a group (ethnic, national, geographical etc.) that you belong to or you descend from.
Ex: Italian, Caribbean, African American, Vietnamese, German, Brazilian, Native American etc.
Even if the roots are far far in the past (English, Scottish, Swiss), even if you do not identify with those roots, list the stereotypes about that group. This is a serious exercise. Think in these terms:
"What do people in general think, what kind of automatic association do they make in their minds when they hear that you are -- for instance -- Asian Indian? Or Russian."
