I came across this sentence a few days ago but I don’t understand how the word “stereotype” is used in this context- “He is a stereotype”.

First of all I don’t think this sentence is right at all. What’s your thought?

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

I think this sentence is OK. It means “he represents a stereotype”, he has many of the stereotypical qualities of his group.

So you mean he has the quality which his group is said to have? Or is he a person who stereotypes others?

And also comment on my accent.

Thanks a lot

Your first interpretation is correct - he has the qualities which his group is said to have. It is hard to analyze your accent - your recording quality seemed very low so your voice had a very robotic sound - like one of those artificially synthesized computer voices.
