nat stereotype

A nat stereotype typically appears when a young teenage mexican girl of a brown skin color of some sort with bangs and eyeliner appears slightly emo, which here in the imperial valley, people would say she would look like nat first glance.

boy 1:"yo that girl kinda looks like nat"
boy 2: "thats a whole nat stereotype"

Positive Stereotype

Any stereotype of any particular group of people that is perceived asmore positive than negative (for example, the stereotype that all Canadians are nice is a positive one).

Of course though, it should be noted that not all groups of people fit positive stereotypes most of the time and that they are bound to fit the more negative ones, so it would be best to not stereotype any group at all (no matter how good or bad the stereotype may be).

One positive stereotype about British people is that they're all sophisticated, but in reality not all Brits are highly cultured so I'm just gonna not stereotype no matter what.
