In my In in mypaper I was going to tackle the stereotype that all foreigners are villains. You might sit there and say hey foreigners aren’t Evil. True but just this last election one of the big issues was immigration. You have people calling for tighter immigration controls I decided to go and look at http://www.usbc.org/ which is the United States board control organizational web site I then decided I needed to look at one for immigrant’s rights and found http://www.justiceforimmigrants.org/myths.html these were both interesting to look at because on the border control website you have a set of facts calling out immigrants and on the other web site you have them saying the opposite of the other facts. If you think about it in a lot of movies the villains come from another country or school or even galaxy. The next question is aliens all bad and villainous well this guy here thinks he is 98% sure they are not hostile http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread276918/pg1 first I do not believe we have aliens flying about in top secret spaceships. Yea maybe one crashed 60 years ago but by now with our technology it would be hard to miss them. Nut either way since as to our knowledge now we are alone so really it is ones opinion whether an alien is good or bad. And movies and shows lead us down the road that says they are villains. Movies like Rocky 4, and 300 give these foreigners embellished looks and tries to make them look as if they cannot be defeated or over come so when our protagonist triumphs it is another boost for nationalism. Key example of stereotyping foreigners would be when the united states rounded up all the Japanese people on the west coast and put them in concentration camps, or when we tried so hard to destroy the native American population.
