Question

How would you distinguish between discrimination and stereotypes

Answer 1

Explanation:

Discrimination means categorising people on account of their colour, caste, financial status, social status, class and other parameters and having different behaviour for different people.

Stereotypes is a term used for a special kind of habit, nature or practice is linked with specific kind of people. Or vice versa.

If a person eats too much cheeze, must be italian.

If a person eats curry, he’s Indian.

Even in India we stereotype people.

If he abuses too much, must be from Uttar Pradesh.

If he is from Bihar, must be a criminal and must not know english.

This is stereotyping.
