Very often, some people evaluate others according to some certain established stereotypes: race, typical appearance, nationality, gender, sometimes without even knowing who they really are. The American photographer did not agree with the generally accepted opinion and created a series of photographs called "Condemning America".
Creating a series of collages "Judging America", photographer Joel pares sought to show the injustice of society's attitude towards certain social groups of people. The message is simple enough: don't judge a person by their appearance. Each collage contains two images of the same person. The stereotypical image is shown on the left, and the person as he really is on the right.
Not every Asian woman works in the sex industry.
Not every African American is a gangster or gangster.
Not every Hispanic becomes an illegal street sweeping immigrant.
Not every Asian is a member of the Yakuza crime group.
These photographs clearly show how easy it is to become "hostage" of wrong judgments about a person. However, there are worthy people of all nationalities, with different skin colors and religions. The American Kara E. Walker has also addressed the issue of racial injustice in her writings. Her installation "Subtlety" depicts a white woman with pronounced African features.
