1) Using two racial groups [of color], demonstrate how oppositional dichotomies of race define racial stereotypes.
Oppositional dichotomies of race is like the idea of polar opposites. It is a unit made up of two parts that compliment each other and are essential to one another. To think about it simply and without race, it is like left and right or light and dark. Left and right depend on each other because without one of them, the other can’t exist; this same idea can be applied to racial stereotypes. To label a race with a stereotype, another race must be labeled with the opposite stereotype. This can easily be seen when comparing whites to other racial groups of color. For example, Latino women are often stereotyped and seen as hyper-sexualized
