A stereotypeism is a phrase usually said on TV by an actor playing a foreign/reigional character and completely screwing up by resorting to stereotypes. Nearly always seen when an american tries to play an English person, who they always say are British DESPITE the fact that britain includes Wales and Scotland as well, and they're either posh or a cockney despite the fact that there are hundreds of dialects to choose from. Stupid yanks.
It's all Hugh Grant's fault actually.
Note: we english actors are much better at putting on american accents, like Hugh Lauire in House. And we're better actors anyway which is why we always play the bad guys.

Yank actor:"Tally ho, what? I'm British you know! Mm toodle pip, must go and polish my statue of the queen, what what?"
English person watching telly: "What a dipstick, using a typical stereotypeism like that."
American watching same TV: "Yeah man he got that Brit accent right on! GO AMERICA! WHO WANTS BEER AND CHIPS? HELL YEAH!"
*fight propmtley ensues*

An assumed label given to someone out of pure ignorance and arrogance.
Often given by people who live up to the stereotypical standards of "preps", which is pretty sad.

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?

A term used to define all people of a certain belief into a mostly negative category that may only reflect a selected few of the racial demographics. All people of all nationalities have been victims of being stereotyped, even those whom have made most of the stereotypes of other people.
Note: Most stereotypes are involuntarily lived out by a small segment of who they are made to offend. Here are a few examples of stereotypes.

5.) That all Arabs are angry people that like to blow shit up.
6.) That ALL black men are hung like elephants.
7.) ALL white men are hung like squirrels.
8.) All blacks crave chicken and watermelon.

A label, usually used negatively towards a person or a group of people, race, religion, or orientation.
Usually people who stereotype (95% of the people on this website) need a reality check, for sure.
Stereotyper's most commonly assume things like, 'Oh my God, she's Canadian so she must say eh after everything!' or 'He's Irish, he's gonna be a drunk!'.
Most of them, stop after awhile and grow up.
Some intill it into their children, and
there goes the intelligence of another
Generation.

A stereotype is used to catergorize a group of people. People don't understand that type of person, so they put them into classifications, thinking that everyone who is that needs to be like that, or anyone who acts like their classifications is one.
Stereotype for Goths are black clothes, black makeup, depressed, hated by society.
Stereotype for Punks are mohawks, spikes, chains, menace to society, always getting in trouble.

a perception of a person or thing that applies those attributes most commonly associated with the group that such person or thing belongs to, regardless of whether that perception is true. This word has gained a negative connotation and is more commonly associated with discrimination, when in reality it is a natural mechanism used by people to better understand the world. This is why when someone says "hockey player" you think of a white guy, or "rapper" and you think of a black guy, or "city" and you think of things like skyscrapers.
Stereotypes are often good and helpful things, but discrimination on the basis of prejudice/stereotypes often has negative effects.
