Judging America

Unfortunately, we still live in a world where people are stereotyped based on their gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, and so on.

I just came across an incredibly powerful set of photographs. To raise awareness about these stereotypes, photographer Joel Parés created a series entitled “Judging America.” This series sheds a light on the negative stereotypes and assumptions made about different people and encourages everyone to not judge a book by its cover.

What do you think? How do you feel about stereotypes and generalizations?
