What is stereotyping?

Stereotyping is the process of assigning certain characteristics or traits to a particular group of people based on their race, gender, religion, nationality, or other factors. These stereotypes are often oversimplified and can be harmful as they can lead to prejudice, discrimination, and unfair treatment of individuals based on these perceived characteristics. Stereotyping can be based on both positive and negative assumptions and can perpetuate harmful biases and misconceptions.

Stereotyping is the process of attributing certain traits or characteristics to a group of people based solely on their membership in that group. This can result in oversimplified and inaccurate generalizations about individuals and their behaviors. Stereotypes are often based on prejudice and discrimination, and they can have a negative impact on the lives of individuals who are targeted by them.
