Stereotype Drop SABC1
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Reality
South Africans have a long history of stereotyping people, often not knowing how dangerous it can be to give someone a label. This new reality show is meant to get us thinking about these misguided views we hold as a society.
The series is driven by everyday South Africans, who have become victims of a wildly held societal stereotype due to their race, sexual orientation, appearance, behaviour, demographics, religious, cultural beliefs, or set of values.
The show reveals how these labels have impacted peoples' everyday lives and shows you how to understand, question and transform your opinion about a stereotype that you may hold.
