There are undoubtedly others I'm not aware of. For example, all those I've covered deal with heterosexual relationships. It might be interesting to see whether the gay community has its own gallery of archetypes regarding interracial relationships. Since I'm not gay, however, I don't feel I have the knowledge to comment on issues within that community. My articles have also largely focused on Western societies, with the exception of the portrayal of Asian women in the Middle East, though other cultures too must have their own ideas about interracial unions and the individuals who engage in them.
Stereotypes serve a variety of purposes.
At the most basic level, they provide us with an easy way of categorizing people superficially rather than examining them as individuals. In addition, throughout history societies have used stereotypes to maintain the status quo. The Other Man on the other hand served as a tool to keep white women and non-white men apart, while the Slut was used to punish women who consorted with men of color nonetheless. In modern North America, the fading of past sexual and racial taboos has diminished the power of popular images of miscegenous men and women. Nonetheless, it is interesting and in some way socially useful to examine these stereotypes, because they tell us not only about our history and society but our psychology as well.
