a stereotype is a label given to a person, a prequisite judgement. it goes hand in hand with bias, prejudice, and discrimination.
joe is a middle eastern, “gothic” gay person. because of this, people -ssume that he is a morbid, suicidal terrorist that has a strong p-ssion for interior decorating. in fact, he dresses gothic because of the music he listens to, and he likes the style. he is perfectly happy, and is in several school programs to help suicidal kids. he also is a good smaritan. he was born in the us and is planning on joining the military as an rotc scholar. he wants to stop terrorism. he hates design in all ways.
a commonly-held view about a particular group of people e.g. a nation, social group, religion etc… often incorrect and/or offensive.
some common stereotypes:

+ americans are all loud, fat and obnoxious.

+ british people are all sn-bs and have bad teeth.

+ french people are all frog-eating, onion-lovers called pierre.

+ jews are all money-grabbing masterminds trying to take over the world.

+ irish people are all alcoholics who love scoffing potatoes and beating up their peers.

+ muslims are all out to kill “civilised people” by blowing themselves up by plane, bus or train.

+ goths are morbid, suicidal and listen to sh-tty bands with names like “-n-l c-nt.”

+ emo kids all cry and write love poems sitting under trees in the rain, letting their mascara and eyeliner drip down their faces so everyone knows that their face was wet.

+ chavs are all loud, anti-social thugs who all live on council estates, wear fake burberry, baseball caps, steal scooters and cars and anything else they can get away with.
a perception of a person or thing that applies those attributes most commonly -ssociated with the group that such person or thing belongs to, regardless of whether that perception is true. this word has gained a negative connotation and is more commonly -ssociated with discrimination, when in reality it is a natural mechanism used by people to better understand the world. this is why when someone says “hockey player” you think of a white guy, or “rapper” and you think of a black guy, or “city” and you think of things like skyscr-pers.
stereotypes are often good and helpful things, but discrimination on the basis of prejudice/stereotypes often has negative effects.
whether its media or people who categorise and label others to make themselves feel superior.
examples of stereotypes include:

all muslims are terrorists and want to kill people in suicide bombings. (what a loada cr-p)

all chinese people are very clever

americans are all obese

all emo people do is sit down and think about how the world sucks and cut themselves and end up killing themselves.

black people are deadly gangsters

people who listen to rap are gang members

people who listen to rock/punk/etc are emo/gothic and that r’n’b,hiphop and sh-t like that is the ‘right’ music to listen to.
