I have to define the two popular words "prejudice" and "stereotype" that associate with category
All blonds are stupid or dumb
All Kenyans are good runners

"All blonds are stupid" Its falls under prejudice

An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts. A preconceived preference or idea.
The act or state of holding unreasonable preconceived judgments or convictions. See synonyms at predilection.
Irrational suspicion or hatred of a particular group, race, or religion.
Detriment or injury caused to a person by the preconceived, unfavorable conviction of another or others.

"All Kenyans are good runners" It falls under stereotype

fixed impressions, exaggerated or preconceived ideas about particular social groups, usually based solely on physical appearance.

The danger in relying on stereotypes to guide our thoughts and actions stems from their being:
•simplified ideas, whether negative or positive in nature
•over-generalizations that do not represent all, or perhaps even most individuals within a group
•designed to enhance our own self-identity
•the foundation for prejudice and discrimination
•obstacles in getting to know others for whom they are versus who we think they might be
