Stereotypes Exist




Human brains are wired for pattern recognition and like it or not there is some truth to almost all stereotypes. They exist because people have noticed the patterns.



Stereotypes are an example of reasoning from the specific to the general. We all do it, and it's important for survival. The problem arises when we assume a stereotype is true for a specific person or persons, or act on the assumption it may be true, instead of reserving judgment until you have confirming facts.
