Well the way I see is that, when there's a distinct segregation amongst races, there will always be a problem with racial stereotypes. If we take Mexicans (which I take there's a lot of in Texas), many people associate them with crime, drugs, and illegal immigrants. Though it is much more difficult to actually pin point a stereotype for Caucasians. The reason for this is because that there are many different kinds of white people. You see caucasians in the media with a variety of different jobs from CEO of companies to drug dealers. Though this image is typically not associated with many other races in this country. So when there is racially segregated communities, we tend to stipulate our stereotype onto individuals in those communities. Though you must ask what is the benefit of racial diversity. I think by 'preserving' a so-called way of living, or rather more accurately, a way of thinking, you end up with a cultural maoseleum where there isn't any progression. The people live as they had say 50, 60 years ago, and their views have not changed since then. I don't know, for me that seems like a scary and dangerous thing.
