  Stereotype - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stereotypes are common in the world of drama, where they are often used as a form of dramatic shorthand.
Common stereotypes include a variety of allegations about various racial groups, (see: racial stereotype and racial profiling) predictions of behavior based on social status and wealth (See social stereotype), and allegations based on sex.
For example, the stereotypical devil is a red, impish character with horns and a pitchfork, whilst the stereotypical salesman is a slickly-dressed, fast-talking individual who cannot usually be trusted.

 WHERE DID HISPANIC JURORS GO
The name for the grand jury list shall be selected from the different...supervisorial districts of the respective counties in proportion to the number of inhabitants therein, as nearly as the same can be estimated by the persons making the list.
From the qualified jurors' list, a small number of jurors are randomly selected specifically for grand jury service, and their names are enlisted in the so-called the "master grand jury list." Those who were not selected for the master grand jury list are considered as candidates for petit juries.
Since crime victims are more likely to be members of racial and ethnic minorities, grand jurors who share the same culture and language with witnesses may have a greater understanding of testimony and present greater legitimacy to the grand jury proceeding.

In fact, Sampson asserts that while cartoons did derive a large measure of their humor from ethnic, political and racial stereotypes, those representing most ethnic groups were been subject to constraints that “amounted to a type of censorship that was officially enforced by distributors, exhibitors, and the general public”.
Whether or not the creation of stereotypes was an intentional practice is debatable, but it is certain that cartoons, like other media, were merely another outlet for people to express their opinions.
Unpleasant as some movie stereotypes may be, they seem to have been included out of ignorance or laziness, rather than as part of a master plan to malign a certain group” [7].
