Inventing Hispanics
1. What values, which tend to be strong in Hispanic cultures, contribute to popular stereotypes about Hispanic workers? How could these values contribute to a perception that Hispanics lack the initiative and drive so valued in today’s workplace?
According to what I have own. Hispanic’s are stereotyped as lazy, drug dealers, uneducated, job stealing, and poor. Most believe that Hispanic’s can speak none or very little English, and the English they do speak is not clearly understood. Social media constantly posts images of Hispanics piling into vans o an abundance of them living in a small home. However, contrary to popular belief, Hispanics are nothing like what they are perceived to be. These views of Hispanics will lead to organizations not wanting to hire a Hispanic individual because of the belief that they are lazy, and they would not want someone is not willing to work hard and to the job right. An uneducated Hispanic will not be wanted for employment because it will be hard to learn new skills and duties. Also, the lack of English Hispanics are believed to speak and communicate will be a problem. It would be hard to communicate with peers about the job.
2. What are the common stereotypes about Hispanics? How could these stereotypes affect career mobility for Hispanics?
The most common stereotype in the south is most American people see a group of Mexicans together speaking Spanish, the automatically think they are illegal immigrants. They refer to them as wet-back, border hoppers, beavers and other mean names. Other assumptions about Hispanics include them having a lot of unprotected sex and having multiple children, they are perverts, dirty, cram into vans and a large number of them live in small houses, they fight and use weapons, they take all the job opportunities for Americans, they are short, etc. These stereotypes will affect the Hispanics career mobility in a negative way.
