I don't think that's how stereotypes usually work.

"He wears a turban, therefore he's an Arab terrorist."

"He's wearing black, has pale skin, listens to that weird goth music I 
don't like, therefore he's a school-shooter."

"She's good looking and wears short skirts, therefore she's a slut."

"He's wearing a police uniform, therefore he's a policeman."
