    stereotypes exist for a reason. they are observations made by society against society.

    the only problem with them is when you apply stereotypes to individuals directly, then it’s prejudice.

    calling rich white south Africans racist or Nazis holds true.

    calling Jimbob a Nazi because he’s a rich white south African is prejudice.

    now…calling him a Nazi after he heils in front of a camera makes him a proof of the stereotype.
