Stereotypes

Stereotypes are not something a person wants to experience. They shove someone under a general umbrella about something associated with what they identify as, like gender/sexual identity or sexual orientation, or something they were raised up by, like their race and culture. These sort of things are unfair, and everyone in a particular race or culture either don't find it as fun to endure, or they live up to these stereotypes based on what society says about them. They either think, I'm associated with [insert stereotype here] so it must be true. I'll do what they expect me to do, or, this is not what [insert race/gender identity here] are like at all. I'll do what they won't expect me to do. By influencing stereotypes, we are only forcing them to behave they way we see them as and not what they see themselves as. This behavior is harming our society and only causing us to become more small-minded and believing what we put out there for everyone to see.
