While some have developed from old concepts that were in turn based on real truths about that group, many of these are overexaggerated, and most stereotypes are based on xenophobia, ignorance or jealousy rather than any fact.

∙ 7y agoStereotypes are a shorthand to make flight or fight decisions easier. It is one thing to assume that all swarms of angry wasps are going to sting you and another to assume tat all fat men are jolly. The trouble starts when people replace common sense with stereotypes. To assume that a person of any racial group is out to get you may mean that you'll be looking for a suitable EMT after your accident while you bleed to death.With most stereotypes there is a confirmation bias evident. That means that you remember the cases where you bias was correct and forget all the ones where they don't.
