I think that being thought of as a stereotype could affect someones career because if your stereotype has a negative image then people will be less inclined to employ you because they will think that you are unable to handle the job. This is unfair but unfortunately this is how people think. It could affect their personal life because people may say they don’t associate with that type of person or their family might cast them out because what they’ve heard about that stereotype is negative. it may affect hoe society sees them either in a positive or negative light. This is how stereotypes can affect people.
