You can group people by their race, national origin, religion -- anything that you can factually prove. Stereotyping, on the other hand, involves assigning characteristics to a group that may or may not be true. Saying "All people can't drive" or " people are stupid" is stereotyping, because it is a generalizing statement that can't be proven. Saying "Those people coming out of that church are Catholic" is grouping people, because it is an observation that can be proven.
