Native American Stereotypes

So today I am writing an essay in English on Native American stereotypes in the present media. Sure there are a lot of them: the noble Indian, the ignoble Indian you see in all the westerns who is always stealing the beautiful girl, the casino Indian you see in all the current comedies, and the squaw.

Looking into all of these things got me thinking is there really more native American stereoypes then causcasian stereotype? If not why are the minority stereotypes so much worse then stereotypes we portray on our own race? For example we have the dumb blondes,

the nerds, the stupid jocks, the snobby businessmen, the hillbillies, the stuck up rich bitches and the trailer trash.

Stereotypes exist in all races, colors, and types of people so why do we have them? What real purpose do they serve? and why are the stereotypes of minority groups seen as a worse injustice then those placed on other groups?

Anyway just a thought to ponder!

ANTM Cycle 16 Episode One Recap

In the season Premiere of ANTM cycle 16 Tyra Banks channels Lady Gaga and had the potentials walk down a 12 inch runway in a bubble. It's a must watch their were some pretty hilarious spills. There's a clip below but I suggest watching the whole episode!

Their photo shoot was also a little different then usual. They were shot while they were getting ready for the runway show to show the backstage glamor of being a model.

Brittani

Hannah

Alexandria

Mikaela

Nicole

These are my top five girls right now. Alexandria and Hannah are gorgeous and Mikaela has something really interesting going on. Nicole's photo is really mysterious and artistic and I love it but for some reason the judges don't?!  I don't always understand what it is they are looking for in this show but I'll keep on watching it and hopefully my fav five continue on for a while!

So in the end a girl was eliminated and that girl was....

Angelia. Who's picture I though was much better than this girls...

Sara

But who knows what the judges find attractive these days! We'll give sara a chance. Ann was adorably awkward at first too.
