Example:

Answer

Yes, exactly. We use the idiom of 'pigeonholing' people to describe a tendency to stereotype. It's the idea of making a snap judgement about someone based on first impressions or a single piece of information, then fitting them into a predetermined slot and not looking beyond this narrow definition.

Answer

I am not used to seeing it used in connection with stereotypes, although I can imagine that usage, considering the idea of putting things in compartments. I am most accustomed to the usage meaning to put something away with the intention of forgetting it.
