Evidence shows that people use stereotypes reasonably and indeed they improve accuracy because they are accurate priors.
Actually almost no evidence of this claim. People don't generally mindlessly apply stereotypes. Evidence reviewed in @PsychRabble's 2012 book. https://twitter.com/sonyaellenmann/status/979803764612775936 …

This scenario happens when the prior is too strong, but research shows that people's stereotypes are generally too weak (ie underestimate true group differences), not too strong.

In fact, it's not even entirely clear from the evidence he reviews that people shouldn't use stereotypes *more*, at least if we only care about accuracy.

If anything, people seem to disregard statistics entirely: “I’m afraid of flying so we’re driving there.”

Stereotypes result from observation or education or a combination. Eg without racial quotas, 50% of blacks would earn less than 10,000 per year. Today, one in three black men eventually to prison. Desire to survive=observation-based stereotypes.
