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 …

I'm unsure if you're saying something like "vague prejudice doesn't predict specific actions," which I agree with, or "the brain isn't bayesian at all"?

Evidence shows that people use stereotypes reasonably and indeed they improve accuracy because they are accurate priors.

To some extent, but when they get baked into policy it's tricky. E.g. if you preferentially interview men, you hire some amount of subpar men who would have been outperformed by the best of the women candidates

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.
