Talking Points

• Appearances can be deceiving. Just because someone fits a stereotype doesn't mean it's true for everyone.

• It's important to look beyond someone's outward appearance and get to know them as a person.

• Media, like movies and TV shows, often perpetuate stereotypes to create characters that are easy to understand quickly.

• Remember that stereotypes are generalizations and don't apply to every individual within a group.
