Someone who is viewed by others based on which group or race he belongs to is being stereotyped. So if you see someone wearing a turban you might think they were bad because many terrorists wear turbans. Even though the person has done nothing at all wrong, they can be stereotyped as a terrorist based on the way they dress.

A stereotype is a widely held but oversimplified belief about a particular group of people. For example, the stereotype that all Italians are passionate and love pasta perpetuates the assumption that all individuals from Italy share these characteristics.
