Question:

all such sayings like mexicans are contruction workers, asian are smart, indians are rich, blondes are dumb and bla bla bla. categorizing and generalizing a group of people into something which is common into that group. hope that would help.
A stereotype is something conforming to a fixed or general pattern; especially : a standardized mental picture that is held in common by members of a group and that represents an oversimplified opinion, prejudiced attitude, or uncritical judgment
a stereotype is a general accusation of a group of people who have something in common. for example: all asians are good at math; Jews are penny pinchers; italians will feed you til your fat; white ppl are all racist against blacks; all blacks steel...so on and so forth.
Stereotype is grouping all people into a certain category without looking at each of them as an individual. For example, all people who are blonde are not bright. I can tell you for a fact that is not true.
When you expect all people of a certain culture or nationality etc to have the same common characteristics e.g. Americans being obese and Irish people being drunks.
