Yes, exaggerating stereotypes about certain ethnic groups can indeed cause social unrest. This phenomenon is usually achieved through the following channels: 1. **Deepening social divisions**: By amplifying negative stereotypes about a certain ethnic group, it may lead to social polarization and increase hostility and misunderstandings between different ethnic groups. 2. **Inciting hatred and prejudice**: Stereotypes are often based on prejudice and misunderstanding, which will cause hatred against specific ethnic groups. When such emotions are exploited or exaggerated, they may lead to hate crimes or violent incidents. 3. **Influencing public policies**: If certain stereotypes are widely spread, they may affect the public's views on policies, leading to unfair treatment or discriminatory policies against specific ethnic groups. 4. **Using social media**: In modern society, social media is the main channel for disseminating information. Exaggerated stereotypes can spread quickly, forming cyber violence and group behavior, further exacerbating social conflicts. In short, the exaggeration of stereotypes not only harms the ethnic groups affected by the stereotypes, but also poses a threat to the harmony and stability of the entire society.
