The word
‘Stereotypes’ has changed usage over time, and has recently been given a negative connotation so it can be used to gloss over differences that might even be important to human survival.
To point out Muslim grooming gangs in the uk is a ‘stereotype’
To note that black in black crime is the most violent demographic of crime is a ‘stereotype’
To note that of all the countries that wipe their asses with their hands, India has the largest population, the worst hygiene, and among reasonably intelligent people, even after years of world organizations battering them with hygiene principles, is a stereotype.
