        Correction: stereotypes are based on “kernels of truth” which may or may not be observable real events. These kernels of truth can come from fictitious or non fictitious sources.

        Only sometimes. Often they are based on ignorance and prejudice, and gain credibility through raw repetition in the absence of any real-world observations. Like, shit, you can’t even comprehend of the existence of negative hurtful slanders as stereotypes? GTFO with that.

        Stereotypes are peer reviewed scientific observations

        Or

        Stereotypes are just made up by a person very likely as a joke and people of very high intelligence parrot them without any critical thinking and laugh like hyenas at their ability to accurately repeat words
