Explanation:

Beverly believes that all African Americans are "great at basketball and eat fried chicken". She believes that Mexicans that live in the United States are all "illegal" and that all Mexican men are "sexist". She believes that Asians are all really great at math and are very studious. Beverly's assumptions about different race and ethnic groups is an example of racial/ethnic stereotyping.

Racial stereotyping are a set of constructed and often wrong belief about members of the same race or ethnic group. For example, not all African Americans are great at basketball or eat fried chickens and not all Asians are good at maths or studious.
