In addition to false or misleading advertisements and ads for illegal products and services, the government may regulate advertisements if such a regulation serves a significant public interest.3 Recent rulings by the Supreme Court, however, have tended to reject such mandated rejections.4 As such, the majority of rejected advertisements are refused as a result of advertising policy or a decision by a media executive. The 27 products/services on the checklist included: 1-900 numbers, abortion services, adoption services, beer, bingo, cash in advance, cigarettes, contraceptives, direct mail, escort services, feminine hygiene, gambling, handguns, legal notices, liquor, lotteries, mail order, massage parlors, matrimonial offers, merchandise from hotel room, NR-rated movies, palmists/fortu...

Many immigrants and their children ask themselves the question of identity. Often we allow others to identify us and colonize our consciousness. Once we are "given" our identities, we are then stereotyped because of them. We then reap the benefit, or the disadvantages of our stereotypes. In turn social stereotypes that surround us, further shape our self-identity and consequently, the decisions we make. If we have no other outlet or if we feel as though there are no other options, we live those stereotypes. Some are harmful to us and leave us in the disadvantages places even to oppression of ourselves. In this paper, I discuss some harms of stereotyping, how it leads to voluntary oppression, and make some suggestion for ending racial oppression.
