In your own words, how would you describe the term stereotype? How do stereotypes contribute to the ongoing problem of racism?

OOH THIS SOUNDS FUN. I recommend you paraphrase :D

The term stereotype refers to generalized ideas a society develops about certain groups to undermine people with negative attributes. This relates to racism with racial stereotypes like "The smart Asian kid.", "The angry Black woman.", or "The gang-affiliated Hispanic.". When a community begins to believe these stereotypes is when you see cases like Donald Trump calling Kamala Harris a "Nasty black woman." or when older black women are perceived as pushovers and for lack of a better word.. slaves.
