This reflect "stereotyping and prejudice".

In social psychology, the term stereotype is any considered thinking regarding particular kinds of people or certain methods for acting expected to speak for the whole gathering of those people or practices overall. These convictions could possibly be right or wrong as well like in this example Abdul’s qualifications are set aside and a stereotyping has come up about women being treated unfairly in Muslim societies.
