family. There, are many stereotypes about Asians. People think Asians are good at math. This sounds <br />positive, but sometimes it can create unreasonable expectations for an Asian person that is not good at <br />math. Each of us performs differently at math because of our brain differences, and our education not <br />race. <br />Stereotypes can have a huge impact on people of color. often we get lumped together as a group <br />instead of being seen as an individual. This can result in people making negative assumptions about us <br />based on their misunderstanding of an entire race. The result of this can be seen when groups of people <br />are harassed or discriminated against in schools, ,fobs, and housing.. Thankfully the (MHRA) protects <br />people that have specific characteristics such as race. There are 13 protected classes in the MHRA. <br />Linder MHRA, Asians are protected against discrimination in employment, housing, education, and <br />0 <br />business. <br />As you can sec through the stories I have shared, my family has experienced first hand the issues of <br />stereotyping and their impact on human rights. Even though our family sometimes faces misunderstanding <br />because of stereotypes involving race, disabilities, and sexual orientation, we are fortunate to live in a <br />country where we are protected by the Bill of Rights, as well as many Human ][fights Laws and <br />Declarations. These are just three of the many stereotypes in the world. we can eliminate them by <br />speaking up and sharing our stories. By doing so, we break down misunderstandings of each other and <br />start to protect each others human rights. <br />
