And these images DISPROVE ‘stereotypes’? They reinforce them. Stereotypes are born from facts- facts like this. During the 30’s were not all Italians suspected of being Mafia connected? Why? Because the Italian Mafia WAS the main cause of the violence and rub-outs. If blacks don’t want to be stereotyped perhaps they should control their sons and nephews and daughters and prevent them from GIVING a black face to crime and violence. All this stolen stuff goes home to someone- who KNOWS how it was acquired. These looters have family and relatives who condone, excuse and support this behavior. Stop CAUSING stereotyping by BEING what decent people see as a logical assumption based on facts.
