The Communicated Stereotype

Recently someone posted the following question on Reddit: Why are white communities the only ones that “need diversity”? Why aren’t black, Latino, asian, etc. communities “in need of diversity”?

A lot of the answers deal with segregation of groups, a common topic on The Communicated Stereotype. Dividing groups into ingroups (the ones we belong to) and outgroups (the ones we don’t belong to) is often a precursor to stereotypes. The responses provide the opportunity to hear perspectives on how segregation works regardless of whether the dominant group is white.
