A stereotype is a general belief about a person or group of people that may not be true.

Stereotypes are misbeliefs about groups of people or individuals regarding attributes that are mistakenly believed they possess either on a social, economic, political or cultural level.

Stereotypes are also the most common misconceptions between cultures, which always end up being harmful.

"In Mexico everybody wears sombreros and ponchos ", which is not true as it overgeneralizes the population disregarding that everybody's clothing is different.
