For decades the American people have been seen as the most privileged in the world.

Stereotypes are a huge problem in our society. It puts labels about how a person should
act or live according to their sex, race, personality.
The whites see African Americans as poor, lazy, superstitious, primitive, and criminal
race, while European Americans stereotypes are intellectual, rich, racists, powerful,
hardworking and innovative in their occupations.

One of the most widely believed stereotypes I encountered is that all Americans are
rich. This stereotype is fueled in part by America's powerful global economic
standing. But despite the country's reputation, there are millions of Americans
struggling to make ends meet.

Americans can only speak English. Even though The United States is notoriously
monolingual, perhaps more than any other country in the world, an increasing number
of Americans, especially young ones, are able to communicate in a language other
than English.

Americans are obsessed with work. This stereotype may have some basis in reality —
Americans work an average of 47 hours a week, one of the highest figures in the
world, meanwhile, in many European countries, the average is below 40 hours a
week.

We can start changing our perception of stereotypes. We should learn to respect and
understand other cultures, religions, and countries. This could avoid many problems
such as discrimination.
