As different races, cultures, ethnic groups, etc. begin to coexist, many types of stereotypes also emerge.
For being of a specific race, one can be judged as rich, poor, gang-related, troublemaker, etc. before people can really know you.
People might lose the opportunity of getting to know others simply because of stereotypes.
For example, most American families limit their kids’ interaction with kids whose race has violent stereotypes.
Stereotypes are also found on how people dress as well as their body shape.
When people see a fat man or woman they think that they eat a lot or that they eat like pigs while in fact they eat less than anyone and that their condition happened due to genetics.
Stereotypes are just excuses to not meet someone that looks or acts a certain way.
