Challenging Ethnic Stereotypes: A Classroom Exercise.

Beeman, Mark; Volk, Robert W.

Teaching Sociology, v24 n3 p299-304 Jul 1996

Recounts a classroom exercise in which students examine archaic ethnic slurs aimed at white Europeans (biddy, Dutch bargain). They then consider why these are no longer in use. This leads to a comparison between U.S. immigrant groups of the past and the situation of current minorities. (MJP)
