    While this is not a stereotype, I think the concept of ‘white privilege’ would be worth looking into for your project. ‘White privilege’ is the unspoken, taken-for-granted privilege that whites growing up in the United States have. For example, ‘flesh’-colored bandages, ‘flesh’-colored pantyhose, the ability to go into a department store and not fear you’re being suspected of a crime, the fact that most governmental leaders are still white, etc. While a lot of this is changing as awareness increases, there are still a lot of hidden privileges whites possess. The mere fact that people are hard-pressed to find many stereotypes of whites may also be considered another hidden privilege. There are several on-line articles on this issue. Just do a word search for ‘white privilege.’
