Minstrel shows of the early 1900s perpetuated harmful stereotypes of African Americans, portraying them as lazy, unintelligent, and overly jovial. These performances often featured white actors in blackface, reinforcing racial caricatures that dehumanized Black people and mocked their culture. The shows contributed to a broader societal perception that justified segregation and discrimination, embedding these negative stereotypes in American culture.
