3rd Hour Group 4

Mean girls displays many different stereotypes that I didn't notice until re-watching this movie.  As humans we tend to gravitate towards people who are similar to us.  In turn, we create stereotypes for ourselves.  There are stereotypes against everyone; my friends and I like lulu lemon, we also like Starbucks.  Suddenly we fall under the "basic white girl" category.  It is sad but true that there are so many stereotypes that exist and they really cannot be eliminated.  The other day I wanted to buy Kool-aid and a girl in one of my classes told me I was racist for wanting kool-aid.  This is because people have created so many stereotypes that white people cannot eat watermelon or drink kool-aid without being racist.  We divide ourselves and create issues that do not have to be there.  Mean girls is a comedy that may not express all of the segregation issues and stereotypes in this world but it shines a light on the "small" things that lead to bigger, worse things.
