A Shiny Gold Tooth

Blacks in Memphis, Tennessee, led by the Rev. Al Sharpton, got up in arms over a mural depicting a black woman with a gold tooth, not realizing that the mural depicted a living person.

From Bob's Lexicon of Sardonic Invective:

stereotyping: v. to draw conclusions based on observed behavior, usually by an individual without a college degree. When a person with a B.S. degree draws conclusions based on observed behavior, the act is known as anthropology.
