What would not be an example of ‘Stereotyping’?

All homeless people are dangerous
Kids in school on the lunch program are poor
People that get into financial trouble do so because they are irresponsible people
People that drive over the speed limit are more likely to cause an accident

The correct answer is: People that drive over the speed limit are more likely to cause an accident

The correct answer is "People that drive over the speed limit are more likely to cause an accident". This statement is not a stereotype but rather a factual claim based on statistical evidence. Stereotyping generalizes people based on their membership in a particular group, attributing characteristics or behaviors to them regardless of their individual qualities, experiences, or actions. However, the statement about speeding drivers causing accidents is a claim that refers to a behavior (speeding) and its consequences (increased likelihood of accidents), not a characteristic of a certain group of people. Therefore, it's not an example of stereotyping. This claim suggests an increased risk due to a specific behavior, which is different from presuming characteristics about a group of individuals based on their identity or certain group attributes.
