Ebony is a caseworker at a community healthcare clinic. she is dedicated to serving her clients and loves coming into work every day. this week, ebony was assigned a young homeless man who she has met briefly on several occasions at the clinic and who is in need of referral services. ebony decided to accept a different patient rather than the homeless man because she feels uncomfortable when he is near her. (based on the scenario above, what is the relationship between being prejudiced against the homeless man and stereotyping him?

Ebony was prejudiced because she believed in the stereotype that homeless people are nasty people who will hurt her.

Explanation:

Stereotype is a concept, idea or model of image attributed to people or social groups, often in a prejudiced manner and without theoretical foundation. In short, stereotypes are impressions, preconceptions, and “labels” that are generalized and simplified by common sense.

There is a stereotype that homeless people are unpleasant, that they will hurt people and that they will do no good. Ebony adopted this stereotype and was prejudiced against the homeless patient who asked for help in his clinic. Because of this stereotype, Ebony decided to accept another patient and reject the homeless patient.
