- Racial stereotyping of people of African descent is taking place around the world and must be addressed as an unacceptable phenomenon. Stereotypes are the result of limited knowledge, misinterpretations, shortcomings of education and the negative portrayal of people of African descent in the media and works of art. For example, people of African descent are rarely present in films, and when they are present have secondary or supporting roles only.
