Ryan: "Hey look at that emo kid over there. HEY GO CUT YOURSELF F***ING EMO!"
Dan: "Hey man, that's pretty rude of you to say, if you looked 'emo', would you want someone else telling you to go cut yourself? I don't think so. Don't stereotype people."

1. The true definition of a stereotype is a true event or thing that has been replicated and has been made into some form of a legend. A stereo type is an idea of something that had happened but no more than it happens in the whole population
2. A stereotype of race or religion is used everyday by everyone even you. people can say racist remarks and not even notice it, everyone. A sterotype does not have bounderies, but mostly is place with race.
3. a sterotype is something that many beleive
Yes, some jewish people can be greedy, yes asians can't drive, or african americans can't get a job. That could be true. But those things are just as true as the entire world community. Everyone is greedy. Everyone can't drive well. And for sure EVERYONE can't get a job. A sterotype can be true but it can be used for everyone. That is why it is a sterotype. stereotype

Something that racial-fascists are sensitive to. Whiny minorities fail to realize that they themselves maintain ethnic barriers, due to their chronic bitching about offensive racial jibes. Taking stereotypes too seriously just draws more clear boundaries between ethnic groups.
News reporter: Highway traffic crawled down to 25 mph today after several Asian street racers induced a severe automobile logjam at the Route 15 off ramp due to bad driving. Wait, we have a caller.

Something that describes the true flaws in a certain group of people. Although some PC people call this racist, sexest, ect. 99% of the time it is true.
Every stereotype has solid proof to back if up.

Stereotype(s) means what you expect of some specific people.

Like some Americans think British people have messed up teeth and are VERY POSH whereas we British find American stereotypes as fat and lazy (More likely rednecks) gays with there collar up and their shirts unbuttoned
Redneck conversation about 'gay' stereotypes
Guy 1: Hey you see that guy?
Guy 2: Yeah! He's one of them quero-sexuals (gays)

Guy 1: Naww he's one of those 'ere British people
Guy 2: Naw they ain't gay.
Guy 1: 'ere hold my bear *Holds beer*
Guy 1 beats the crap out of the walking stranger

The other 50% of what the definitions here are based on, tied with sex.
Saying all posts either have to do with stereotypes or sex is a stereotype.
