  3. What’s wrong with Stereotypes? But stereotypes can be problematic. They can: • reduce a wide range of differences in people to simplistic categorizations • transform assumptions about particular groups of people into "realities" • be used to justify the position of those in power • perpetuate social prejudice and inequality • More often than not, the groups being stereotyped have little to say about how they are represented.
