Answer to the question from "The Miseducation of Hip-Hop -Discrimination in Education by Jamilah Evelyn

When sterotypes are brought on by a way a person dresses it is wrong, because someone may choose to wear something that may make them look a certain way. In this essay a student feels stereotyped because he wears clothes that represent a hip-hop culture but he does not live that lifestyle. It is not fair for people to be stereotyped based on an apperance alone but it is happening far too often, for example police officers have to wear a uniform but this does not mean that every police officer is going to react the same way in a situation. When the professor in the essay says that some of the students wont be back for the next sememster because the student is not applying themselves is not based on a clothing choose but a lifestyle choose and this too is a stereotype.
