[K.N.]

The problem with generalizations and stereotypes, positive or not, is that they reduce people to caricatures. It’s dehumanizing when a group of people are stripped of their natural human complexity to fit into a simple ideal (blacks are the best athletes; Asians are great students), even if the comment is meant to be a compliment. Buying into stereotypes indicates the willingness of a person to accept preconceived notions about people who are different from themselves, and just as some expressed are positive, others will be negative.
