Stereotyping and hate speech must be dealt with by law in a similar manner. Hate speech attacks a person on the basis of race or another attribute. Criminal sanctions must be imposed not just for hate speech but also for stereotyping. Furthermore, like hate speech, stereotyping ought to provide a basis for damages. Administrative sanctions should also be imposed for words and images that amount not only to hate speech but also to stereotyping.
