Etymology
Stereotyper also means someone who makes simple, fixed ideas about a group of people. This meaning comes from the same roots stereos 'solid' and typos 'type' — like a solid plate that prints the same picture again and again — so a stereotyper gives people the 'same picture' instead of seeing each person as different.
