Answer :
Answer:
stereotyping
Explanation:
Stereotyping occurs when a person largely unconsciously attributes certain qualities to a particular group as a result of a learned social conditioning or environment of this person.
In the question, Ashley is scared of Rajiv because of what she has heard or made to believe about Indian men, which in this case is that they are sexists. She attributes this behavior to Rajiv because it is generally believed( at least from where she comes from) that Indian men are sexists even though Rajiv, particularly, might not be sexist.
