Battling Cultural Stereotypes | Sadie Ortiz | TEDxYouth@ParkCity

[wandasanchez]

Well said. Keep forging forward. I was told many of the things you experienced and bought into it. Labeled may things and even though I tried my best was told "Stop trying so hard. Don't be a perfectionist. Always told to lower my expectations." Never give up.

I’m an immigrant from Mexico and the most common stereotype I had to face when I was a freshman in high school was when people asked me if I was getting deported! I felt othered.

1970 I was sent home for speaking Spanish. I was assigned students from South America. Not everyone spoke Spanish, I learned Japanese and Portuguese. Thank you California

If I get called a 'traitor' for shattering centuries-old stereotypes, I will consider myself a proud traitor.

Did people in the comments purposefully seek this out to hate on her? Go touch grass, weirdos.

What area does Sadie consider she has been stereotyped by the most?

[JD-ksnv]

You can take every negative thing she just said and turn it into a positive thing-Pregnant at 17? Many women "hit the wall" at 43, bitter they never had a child. When you are 43 and see you child grow up you will not experience "the bitterness"... etc...

[davidjoura]

I don't care what people say about my children, they will be doctors and lawyers and more. In the name of

My wife is a darker skinned indigenous Peruvian and went to college and is now a corporate executive, and no one has ever said anything about her race in all of her 30 plus years of life (except for me regularly telling her she looks like an Incan warrior princess…lol), so idk what ppl are even rly talking about…

[cesarleo]

What's a Hispanic?

This is lowkey another Hispanic stereotype

[djphx]

You are a victim😂 shut up and stop playing the race card! You have as much chance as anyone!

[KevZen]

I do not get the big deal about stereotypes. People should embrace them.
