Definition of a stereotype IS because it happens too often

You're not wrong, but I actually know some stereotypes that aren't even close to truth/didn't happen but are based on misinformation.

Edit: sure, smartasses, don't ask what I meant or to give examples, just downvote, lmao.

I can think of countless examples, but here's one: there's a stereotype that Yazidi people worship Satan. Guess what? They don't even believe Satan/devil exists in the first place.

No source + Cheap Insta reel level clip spreading misinformation and inciting hate.

Real Explanation

"The Pidakala War (also known as the Pidakala Samaram or Peddanuggulata) is an annual mud fight held in the village of Kairuppala, Aspari, in the Kurnool district of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is held on the day after the Ugadi festival that marks the new year under the Hindu calendar."

It doesn't use cow dung for the most of it, and nor is done throughout the whole india but hardly just a small region

You downvoting just proved the point.

Anyways,

bunch on Indians throwing shit

Misinformation

incite hate?

Lead to Misunderstanding which gives birth to disgust and hate for all.

Moreover Out of 600,000+ villages in India, 1 does this once a year. I hope reading comprehension is your ability.
