A stereotype is something that identifies one person from another. These include but are not limited to gender, race, religion, and nationality.

An overly simplified, negative description of a people group with a high statistical probability of being true that is inexpedient to progressive platforms. The new regressive left would like you to blind yourself from the fact that these may ring true, which is preventing people from coming together to have an honest dialogue about causality and realistic solutions. Note that the term "stereotype" will not be applied to overly simplified and probable generalizations that are either supportive of progressive policy conclusions, or demonize/dismiss the opposition. Examples of these include: "All Republicans are older, wealthy white men." "Trump supporters are uneducated and uninformed." "Women don't make as much as men because of institutionalized sexism."

All the different types of stereos

When you meet someone and the listen to a different genre than you.

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.
