A stereotype then is anything which lacks individual marks or identifiers, and instead appears as though made from a cast.

To stereotype is to apply these casts, or gross generalization, to people or situations rather than seeing the individual variation. Definición : Este término deriva del proceso de imprenta y se refiere a una placa hecha al tomar el molde de una superficie. Un estereotipo entonces es cualquier cosa que carece de marcas individuales o identificadores, y en vez aparece como si fuese hecho de un molde. En sociología el estereotipo (la placa o el molde) es siempre una construcción social, la cual puede tener algo de realidad, pero es una generalización masiva (e.g. a las mujeres les gusta las novelas románticas). Estereotipar es aplicar estos moldes, o generalizaciones masivas, a gente o situaciones en lugar de ver la variación individual.
