Stereotyping is an important facet of human psychology. Otherwise we would have to identify every object in the world individually.
If I see a four legged stationary waist height flat topped object I stereotype it as a stool. If I see a winged beaked animal I stereotype it as a bird. If I see a man comming towards my in the night time and he looks like he will accost me I stereotype him as a darkie.
Stereotyping saves time. If I jump to the conclusion the man approaching me is a darkie I can assume a proactive defensive position to protect myself.
Just like Geoge Zimmerman (a national hero, if ther ever was one).
Jesus guides me.
