Stereotyping is the first step in racism...Just like scraming at someone is the first step towards violence.
Once you start grouping people into catagories, you open the door to pre-judgement.
Words like "They" and "Them" emerge. We start to see people as their class and race stereotypes instead of the CHARACTER that the INDIVIDUAL IS.
Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.
Suffering leads to the Dark Side.
Once you start down the dark path...FOREVER will it dominate your destiny
