Read the definition of stereotype and the difference will become clear. Or maybe not, if you can’t think beyond a stereotype.

An interesting read: http://changingminds.org/explanations/theories/stereotypes.htm

Stereotypes don’t change - hence their endurance over millenia - even when directly countered by facts.

“Stereotypes don’t change - hence their endurance over millenia - even when directly countered by facts.”

And from the source you cite:

“We change our stereotypes infrequently. “

Ok, so infrequently now means never? Or do you simply make this up as you go along?

English is a dynamic language, but back in the day when I was taught what a stereotype was, it was taught as a generalized belief based on experience of a small sample. A stereotype doesn’t have to be race or gender based.
