According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, stereotyping means to believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same. For example, when people assume all Malays are lazy and not punctual. Even worse, some of Malays also believe that it is true. In my opinion, stereotyping is destructive and should be stopped at all cost. Stereotyping will make particular race feel ashamed about their skin colour and they might attempted to do stupid things to change it such as plastic surgery. Stereotyping can develop low-self esteem inside people. This will cause much worse consequences such as preventing people from believing that they can succeed in everything that they do and thus destroying any chances that they will succeed. Those people will become unproductive and might even think about ending their life as they think that their life do not have any meaning.
