Stereotypes: it is important to reduce stereotypic thinking. When stereotypes aren’t directed at us, they are easy to discount or ignore.  But stereotypes have consequences—they often lead to discrimination.

It is important to point out that stereotyped views of different European identities have always existed and still feature in public consciousness. Intended to be humorous by their creators, caricatures can cause offence and hurt people.

What do you think of the portrayal of European identities as they appear in the image?

Do you know any examples in which the media/TV/press have used stereotypes (linked to origin, race, gender, religion…) in an offensive way? what do you think?
