Paul's belief is an example of a meta-stereotype, which means he is applying a stereotype to his own group based on the assumption that the other group holds that stereotype about him. This is different from prejudice which is a negative attitude or feeling towards a group, or own-race bias which refers to the tendency to perceive members of one's own race as more diverse than members of other races. Outgroup homogeneity refers to the tendency to perceive members of an outgroup as more similar to each other than members of one's own group.
