The Role of Racism in Stereotyping
Sucker narratives are woven into the fabric of racial and ethnic stereotyping that stereotypes about some groups getting more than they deserve or asking for special favors. Special favors is actually a way of queuing the idea that people are trying to put one over, you're trying to get something that they don't deserve. A lot of these stereotypes which do a lot of really pernicious work in our society are rooted in the idea that you should disdain suckers and repudiate schemers it's a way of discouraging people from cooperating with others who are from different racial backgrounds or ethnic backgrounds or of different genders.
