Being stereotype is like being labeled or being categorized by somebody.
For example, look at this statement: Who do you think robbed the gas station near Walmart? "Ah,those must the blacks.It is already the second time this week".
Other good examples would be cheerleaders and football players are the popular people in school. That is a stereotype.
