Because societal mechanisms train us to stereotype people from an early age. Even if we try not to , we do it impulsively.
We can overide it. But everyone makes impressions of things, people, events, even phrases within seconds of seeing, hearing or experiencing it/them.
Nearly everyone fits a stereotype to a degree, as they are simplisitic representations. I mean, how many flowers are out there? They are all flowers, but then there are types of flowers, and then there are each individual flower.
Sterotypes are merely first impressions.
And we cant help but make those, we do it involuntarily.
