A stereotype is a assumption about a group of people. In
The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman there are many sterotypes by the color of peoples skin. The God fearing Christian woman was a white person that hated blacks. This is a stereotype that all white people hate blacks. To prove that this is false Gaines showed us a character that was helpful to Jane and Nate. His name was Job. Job was a white man that gave them a place to stay, food to eat, and somewhere to work. This proves that the stereotype of all white people hated black people is
false.
