It's common, so not deviant...but not exactly...nice. Also, not only "racist" but sexist, and every other "ist". People have preconceived notions about all kind of people, what color your hair is, how much you weigh, what you do for a living, your education level, and so on.

Yes, it is. We live in a politically correct society where it's look down upon to stereotype different ethncities/etc.

Answer 4

No, it's normal to stereotype. It's the people who don't stereotype, the one who are deviants, because they lack observational skills, and vision.

Answer 5

its not deviant behavior persay- but its a form of racism.

Answer 6

No, It's understandable. For one stereotypes dont just come out of no where, they come out of some thing that is true. I would know, I'm mexican. For example, mexicans really do yard work and low paid jobs because being an illegal immigrant it's not easy to get a well paid job. However some things can get taken overboard with stereotypes to the point of discriminating all of a group, like just because i'm mexican doesnt mean im an illegal immigrant because im not.
