prejudice assumptions can be made about a certain group of people due to stereotyping, because some people may think that stereotyping is an accurate way to understand and/or meet the needs of particular groups of people.

this is based on the fact that if someone perceives somebody under a stereotype they feel to be accurate, then they will most likely change their behaviour towards them and it's very likely that behaviour will be riddled with prejudice.
