Sure it was stereotyping and not racism? I was just thinking about my Japanese teacher. She seems far from ever being racist to me, but, she has made a statement that could be seen as rude. She stereotyped instead, asking if my family had fried chicken for get togethers because I'm black. She just figured that's what blacks ate. I did correct her, though. Wasn't mad, more so amused.
IMO, there are different types of aways of being mistreated...the ignorance route or either the way where you're trying to act superior to someone else. Seems the "ignorance" route is the culprit. In other words, prejudice without literally meaning to be.
