Linked or rooted with stereotypes; generalizations: also goes along with prejudice, prejudice: pre-judging people; could be done using stereotypes, negative or oversimplified views of others, actual definition: not individually accessing the merits or capabilities of a person. Making stereotypical assumptions about a person based on prejudice. Can be completely individualized: but is often based on social groups, privileged groups discriminating on those with less privilege. People discriminate based on race: racism; racial hatred; racial violence. Discrimination based on gender: sexism, making assumptions of women based on limitations, trans-sexism or transphobia, discrimination against those who are not cisgender. Misogyny: women hating; going beyond assumptions. Homophobia: discrimination of those who do not identify with the heteronormative.
