Do you believe that stereotype is for lazy-minded individuals?
Or are they afraid of the truth?

My Opinion:
People who stereotype are quick to put an individual into a group, not because of the individual's behavior, but the individual's appearance or back ground.
Instead of seeing the individual (effort), they see the group.

It's not so much as stereotypes that bother me, but generalizations. They are often interchangable, but generalization bothers me more (I don't really care about stereotypes...) because to the average person, I come off as a nerdy recluse who is square. Well, I'm really not that.
As for stereotypes, you can't count those anymore, since Preps have died out (These A & F babes are NOT preps) Preps used to have good fashion sense.

Often instances it's. But commonly it is a survival intuition. If I'm jogging down North Ave in Milwaukee and I see a dozen black teenagers coming my means dressed like bangers, hell sure I'll stereotype them, then get the hell out of ward off. There's not anything intellectually lazy approximately staying alive. I grew up there. I recognize. Most Milwaukee bangers simply hate white humans. I've acquired three lifeless white peers to end up it.

You should not stereotype people who steroetype other people as lazy or afraid of the truth.
It seems sort of lazy of you, or maybe you are just afraid of the truth.
