Feedback:
Stereotyping is a preconceived idea that is not supported by fact. There is no data to support that most Mexicans are living in the United States illegally. There is data to support the generalization of African Americans celebrating the cultural custom and holiday of Kwanzaa. Older adults in the United States are the richest age group in the United States, and Hispanic men do have a greater risk for hypertension and stroke.
