Stereotype

1. inaccurate assumptions about people/things of a certain type.

2. something we shouldnt rely on to build our society and our judgement
1. just because ur 6-14 dosent mean ur some immature baby who still uses potty toilets

just because ur from a certain place dosent mean ur fat, aggressive, blonde, cowboy like, etc.

just because you perfer a certain religion dosent mean your gonna bully people for liking the color black, lbgt, pork, or your prefrences

just because you have a disabillity dosent mean your dumb, lazy, or weird.

there are alot more examples of this.

2. we shouldnt assume somebody is white just because they arent into rap, guns, swearing, and the hood.

mixed stereotype

We all fit one stereotype or another, a lot of people fit multiple! These people are called mixed stereotypes.

Example: I would be considered a shy kid kind of geek who's also kind of a class clown but in a German exchange student way except I swear off alcohol with a hint of teacher's pet.
1: yo I've met people who fit like with like stereotypes and stuff but you don't fit just one like you fit with like multiple
2: okay first of all stop saying "like", and second of all that's because I'm a mixed stereotype
1: wow

Stereotypes

Stereotypes are boundaries created by the human race. They are rules that are supposed to be followed (stupidly). Girls like pink, boys don’t cry. Girls wear dresses and boys wear pants. Any Black person is in a gang, or Hispanic people are illegal immigrants. Muslims are terrosits and gay people are damned. This is fucked up! Rules are meant to be broken-so are stereotypes!
Don’t let a fucking stupid person’s idea of you defined you. Stereotypes aren’t you!
