I argue that Europocentric perspective found within colonial anthropology have been used to assist the othering of marginalized groups through white supremacy , misinformation , distortion , that encompassed the study of languages , literature , and religion . Colonial anthropology  is the initiation of exotic rule over a distant enclave and the control of its humankind . Othering ,stereotype, exoticization , misinformation and distortion 

 

I derive my understanding of these concepts from my personal experience and the study units . In order to make this argument . I first outline the concept colonial anthropology and link this concept with Europocentric perspective with misinformation , white supremacy , distortion , etc. which is handled in the next few pointers 

 

Ideas , cultures and language stems from the practice of viewing Europe as the origin of Orientalism and used as the main idea of juxtaposition that arrange the white supremacy , misinformation , distortion, through colonial anthropology . I experienced stereotype when i felt like girls in my school are more docile  and want to please others just so that they could fit in 

 

This supports my argument that Europocentric perspective found within colonial anthropology was used to assist the othering of marginalized groups . This allows me to have more knowledge and divergent   views on social anthropology
