- Paragraph text
- Stereotyping and hate speech must be dealt with by law in a similar manner. Hate speech attacks a person on the basis of race or another attribute. Criminal sanctions must be imposed not just for hate speech but also for stereotyping. Furthermore, like hate speech, stereotyping ought to provide a basis for damages. Administrative sanctions should also be imposed for words and images that amount not only to hate speech but also to stereotyping.

Paragraph
Activities of the Working Group 2016, para. 30
- Paragraph text
- Ignorance of the world and of Africans does not help efforts to address the matter of stereotyping. There is a failure to consider the African perspective and a lack of an awareness of the African contribution to society. A purist attitude prevents a more inclusive society that is open to diversity. A history of colonization has also introduced values that do not take into account the African view of the world. Global media in its pervasiveness has reinforced such values, which give little importance to African characteristics.
