Stateotyping 

Stateotyping is when someone assumes something once you acknowledge where you might be from. This common mistake is generally made with college students.

It is better understood by looking at the two words that first melded into it.

State - another word for a territory occupied by one of the constituent administrative districts of a nation

Stereotyping - A conventional or formulaic conception or image of something; "regional stereotypes have been part of America since its founding

Example 1

Person 1: Hey where did you say your from again?
Person 2: Oh I'm from New York.
Person 1: The City?
Person 2: No...Upstate New York there are more places then the city you know
Person 1 now kinda looks like an idiot.
Person 2 assures them its just a Stateotype

Example 2

Person 1: You said your from Maryland right?
Person 2: Yeah how nice of you to remember.
Person 1: So your right by the beach right?
Person 2: No I actually live like two hours from the beach; Not everyone lives on or right by the beaches of Maryland
Person 1 again looks like an idiot in this scenario
Person 2 humbley says, "Your Stateotyping me I see"

Stereotyping 

Stereotyping is when you judge a group of people who are different from you based on your own and/or others opinions and/or encounters.

Guy 1: I met this hot chik from Hawaii
Guy 2: All women from Hawaii are sluts, I met one yesterday
Guy 3: You're just stereotyping. How can you judge an entire group of people based on one person?

Gender Stereotyping 

Many:::
\\Men aren't supposed to cry:

Men can cry, it doesn't make them a woman, or the so infamous "pussy". Crying is a form of expression; It's mainly for when someone is sad.//
\\Men are supposed to be tough:

Normally, if a man gets beat up by a woman, many call him a "pussy". Or if a man were to say fall, and show a form of pain(saying "ow" or to complain), he may be called "weak", or a "woman", or even a "pussy".//
\\Women are supposed to be nice and delicate:

This is not so common now(Jersey Shore, possibly YOUR mother). Women don't HAVE to be nice and delicate, though they have to be good-behaving(and so do men). Because, if a woman or a man isn't good-behaving she/he will be detested.//
\\Men start wars:

This is not true... or maybe it is true. Though, George Bush & Adolf Hitler were males who started wars, along with many others, it's not entirely true that men start wars. This is probably because of the so-called male agro hormone, that makes others think of men as war-starters.//
(/:)

Gender Stereotyping is not cool.
If a man cries, don't call him a pussy, a woman, or laugh.
Because it's not funny!

stereotyping 

The single most pointless use of Urban Dictionary.

**most stereotypes are true in some cases. some are mostly true, some not at all

there is also no point bitching about stereotypes, because in the end they are pretty harmless.

it just gets annoying as hell when people define something just in defense, but then go define something else with some obvious stereotype

April 20,2000
Guy from California(in defense)
word:California
definition:the best state ever, all the hottest chicks, best weather. Nicest most open mind peopples ever, but often stereotyped by ignorant redneck pricks like da_man as being self centered. Go back back to your ttrailer park, jackss.
