One example of stereotyping can be seen in Facing History And Ourselves. In this reading, a Native American had joined the Marine Corps, and because he was Native American, the other Marines thought he had better senses and was stronger. After this, the Native American, Suina, began to believe that what they were saying about him was true.
Stereotyping - A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.
