The question is unclear and can be read in at least two ways:

(1) Q: In what ways do Buddhists stereotype others? A: We try not to stereotype at all.

(2) Q: How do others stereotype Buddhists?

A:

* As believers in reincarnation (a growing number do not; it is not a requirement)
* As believers in the Buddha as a God (anyone who understands what the Buddha actually taught will know he was not a God)
* As worshippers of multiple deities (not part of core Buddhism; cultural additions from various countries)
* As New Agey believers in a sweet but impractical view of the world as all one (the Buddha's teaching on interrelatedness isn't sweet or mystical in any sense)
* As believers in the Law of Karma (a Hindu concept; the Buddha's discussion of karma is widely misunderstood to follow Hinduism's view)
* As vegetarians (it is not a requirement)
* As all believing the exact same thing (as wide a variance in Buddhism as in any religion that has more than one adherent).

Is stereotyping a form of racism?

Stereotyping involves assuming characteristics, behaviors, or traits about a group of people based on their perceived membership in that group. While stereotyping can be a component of racism, not all forms of stereotyping necessarily equate to racism. Racism involves prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against individuals or groups based on their race or perceived race.


What is your feeling about gender stereotyping?

In some cases, gender stereotyping is correct, but that is only because of the person's individual way of living or just the person's personality. To me, gender stereotyping is an everyday issue and I feel it's something we can only handle by proving the person (saying, "all women love shopping" for example) wrong. I dislike stereotyping deeply, and I find it both offensive and uneccessary. It's discussable whether it's nature or some cruel habit individuals have developed over time, but I feel it's a habit you can descend from.
