That is a stereotype, perhaps the very definition of it, it is making a massive assumption.
A certain type of person has done something, therefore all people similar to them are capable of the same thing.
That is no different than pulling aside all brown people in a security line in an airport, because a some brown people hi-jacked planes 10 years ago. "One brown person did it, so we better frisk all of them, because brown people are more likely to blow up a plane."
It is just as divisive. And just as wrong.
