(In Stereo) Types

" I think stereotypes exist, for the most part, because human beings will only do as much as we have to do. We're lazy. I think it's a very human thing to sort and group and categorize people," says a R.A.V.E. member calmly. But (In Stereo) types uses humor, rap, laugh out loud Hollywood clips and poignant testimony of their own experiences as stereotypees and stereotypers to make a good point. Unchecked stereotyping dehumanizes us all, whether it's in your face -- "People who know I'm gay ask me if do hair. I say, no, not all of us do hair. Some of dance." -- or mortifyingly unconscious -- "I asked an Asian woman who walked into the store I work at if she was the delivery person. I just assumed! It was so embarrassing!" Settle in for an eye-opening trip as four Latino and African American teens detail the amusing and sometimes hurtful array of assumptions they face in their daily public and private lives.
