Get the Stereotype mug.Something that is not entirely fact, but is also not based entirely on fiction either. Not every single black person can jump, but many of them can, enough of them can. Not every single Asian knows martial arts, but many of the martial arts started in Asia (not all). Not every Italian has been in the mob, or knows how to cook, but the Italians had a mob, and enough Italians are good cooks. Not every single Irish guy has a short dick, but many do, enough of them do (that includes me), or a bad temper, or a drinking problem, but even if the lace curtain irish feel embarrassed and dont want to be associated with the stereotypes, they got started for a reason, even if they're not a fact for everybody in a population.
Stereotypes dont get eliminated because someone feels embarrassed by them. People usually know that a stereotype isn't a fact for everybody in a population, even people who perpetuate them willfully remain embarrassing to some people.

Get the Stereotype mug.Related Words
Though not every Jew was born with money or knows how to bargain with people, there's been a lot of Jews who made a lot of money that way, people know Jews for knowing how to make money, even if not all Jews have a lot of money. Some are embarrassed, some are offended, but it doesn't change anything. The stereotype isn't entirely true or entirely false.

Get the stereotype mug.A prejudicial idea from lunatic-fringe purists who believe that all recorded sound should be in mono and that all books should be in single-column format.
Stereotype can also refer to a form of keyboarding whereby two parallel columns of text are formed on each page of a larger--than-usual book, rather than just one cumbersome page-wide block that fatigues your neck from having to zip yer head back and forth to read the long lines.
