Even stereotype isn't really a good word because stereotypes are stereotypes because they have a statistical basis quite a lot of the time. If someone has the stereotype that blacks are poorer, more ignorant, more violent, more drug addicted and more likely to be on welfare, these are not just stereotypes, these are, on average, true. Does that mean that that applies to every last black person? No, no more than every last Jew is a doctor or a lawyer or that every last Asian is a bad driver. But the stereotypes developed because there is a statistical disparity in the rates between groups. |
