Your statement is wrong Beholder. Did you know that an infant child is very stereotypical about the faces they stare at. If your face is attractive to them, they will react in a good way with you, and if not then they cry. As a toddler, ever noticed how children only trust their parents and hide from outsiders. Yet, even better yet, a child will develop a sense of what he/she considers normal. If they see something out of the norm, they will point it out to their parents (Ex: A child pointing out a man with no legs).
Racism, sterotype, etc. are one with human nature. Racism comes from stereotype. And every human being is stereotypical. It is instinct to trust those who are your caretakers. It is instinct to stereotype and point out the abnormal in order to avoid it.
Humans beings however strive to make up for this instinct by living with others whom are different. Those are people who sequester their racism and stereotypes in a large part.
However, birds of a feather flock together. Outsiders are not to be trusted by instinct. This can be programmed differently at a young age, but the instinct will always remain within a person. No one human being can be completely devoid of stereotype and racism. Everyone will have it, and some are taught to bury it within their subconscious.
There are no corrections to stereotyping. It will never be rooted out of a human being. They will be there and from them, racism is born.
