That's the common dictionary definition. Also sexism. But is assuming a man likes sports sexist? So neutral, I think not.

OK, we've confirmed we're using different definitions then. I'd just call that a morally neutral generalisation. A stereotype

I'd rather save 'racism' & 'sexism' for negative attitudes towards a group.

You could. I'm not sure it'd be true. Stereotypes have a high degree of accuracy & assumptions are natural. No harm, no foul

Had someone try to equate 'Pakistanis are rapists' with 'Brits drink a lot of tea' & claim the former shld lighten up. No.

The difference in those generalisations is enormous. Worst that can happen to me is being offered tea.

Well, I think we'll survive. I like good-natured stereotypes & play with them a lot. Humour to defeat oversensitivity.
