Two related assumptions are challenged: (1) that stereotypes are inaccurate by definition, and (2) that stereotypes function merely as fallacious rationalizations for outgroup antipathy. A review of the literature indicates that stereotypy is a multidimensional concept, that degree of accuracy is a relatively unexplored variable, and that stereotypy and prejudice are not synonymous terms. The metasociology of stereotype investigation is explored. It is suggested that the liberal sympathies of social scientists discourage a test of ethnic stereotype accuracy
