stereotype:

1. An rigid and inflexible image, which may be positive or negative, of the characteristics of a person, group, thing or place . This oversimplified image only includes the most obvious characteristics and does not reflect all the possibilities which could be considered.

2. A person, group, thing or place that conforms to an unjustifiably fixed, usually standardized, mental picture.
