Question

How do Ellis research participants perform these Bushmen stereotype?

Answer 1

Ellis research participants often perform these stereotypes by reenacting common depictions of Bushmen as primitive, uncivilized, and "exotic" individuals. This can include wearing traditional clothing, engaging in hunting or gathering activities, and using simplistic language and gestures. Participants may also embody stereotypes of Bushmen as naive or uneducated, further perpetuating harmful stereotypes and reinforcing negative perceptions of indigenous peoples.
