stereotype
A generalized belief about a group of people
A stereotype is a widely-held belief or oversimplified image of a particular group of people or things. It is a generalization, often based on limited or inaccurate information, that portrays a group or individual as having certain traits or characteristics that are presumed to be typical of all members of that group or individual. Stereotypes can be positive, negative or neutral, and can be based on any characteristic such as gender, ethnicity, religion, occupation, etc. Stereotypes can have real-world effects and consequences, as they can lead to discrimination and prejudice against individuals or groups who are stereotyped.
