There are different dictionaries that have different definitions for the same word (I know some dictionaries are better than others but that's beside the point).Some define stereotype as "an oversimplified opinion, perception, or image."Others define it as "an unfair or prejudice mentality towards a group of people or things."I always used the first (whether it's right or not is something else).An oversimplified opinion can apply to anything (Canada is never hot at any point of the year... all board games are for kids).
