How might a stereotype hinder equality of opportunities in the work place?

I’m on a course at college and where doing about the workplace at the moment and this is a question I have to answer and I don’t understand it and I am not at college to ask the tutor.

I understand what stereotyping is and about equality but can’t quite answer this. Any help will be appreciated.

Answer #1

Stereotypes like “Mexicans are lazy” might effect a mexican getting hired because no one wants to hire a lazy person. So a general stereotype about a race like that could stop that race of people from getting hired or being considered for the job. I’m sorry if that doesn’t really help you. I tried haha.

Answer #2

Stereotyping may prevent perfectly hardworking people from getting ahead. Also, people who are aware of a negative stereotype about them will often experience anxiety, which in turn impairs their performance, adversely affecting the company as a whole. When you answer this question, think about things like age, gender, race, and ethnicity.
