People say that stereotypes exist for a reason, but is that really true?

EVER true? Of course.

Everyone is different, so there'll definitely be one or two people who fit a stereotype. To say otherwise would, in and of itself, be a stereotype.

What's there to define? The word only has one definition, the same it has had for years.

Except there's no different interpretations to it. If you generalize something about a specific group because of certain individuals in said group, it's stereotyping. Simple as that.

They come to exist because those traits are observed by others, so yes.

The global stereotypes of Americans are that they are fat and slightly less intelligent than most. We have a massive obesity crisis and Donald Trump is the president ;-)

They exist due to a fallacy so they are in fact never true.

You should actually go out and see for yourself.

My 35 years of living and I can say yes, stereotypes are a thing because it's true.
