 Often characterized as being dangerous, drug traffickers, drug users, violent, and gang bangers, Hispanics are subjected to much stereotyping within the U.S. in relation to crime, especially by their white counterparts.In the U.S. and the rest world, Latin Americans are incorrectly perceived as a race with a stereotypical mixed race appearance personified by a Mestizo or Mulatto look, which conjures up an image of a person with brown skin, dark eyes and dark hair when in actuality Latinos are an ethnicity made up of numerous races and not just mixed race peoples.It's because of this reason that more often than not White, Black, Asian, and to a lesser extent Indigenous Latinos are underrepresented or entirely dismissed in society when it comes to Latino narrative as it is incorrectly believed that they don't belong to Latino culture or the Latino identity.
