And yes, the idea of a stereotype is to gather a number of characteristics that are supposed to describe a specific group without exceptions. People who believe certain stereotypes genuinely think any member of the stereotyped group bears those characteristics.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
