People everywhere tend to attribute hidden essences to human social categories, such as race, ethnicity, and personality. For the most part, they are used to generate notions of "in-group" versus "out-group" based on readily identifiable characteristics, whether physical features(skin color, place of residence, dress) or social and ideational attributes(language, nationality, religion). This is "essentialism bias. " 2, record 1, English, - essentialism%20bias
