Paul is a very tolerant White male. When he meets Bill, an African-American, Paul assumes that Bill will view him as an arrogant spoiled White man. Paul's belief is an example of a(n):_______
A) meta-stereotype.
B) stereotype threat.
C) own-race bias.
D) outgroup homogeneity.

Meta-stereotype refers to our belief towards the stereotypes that we believe others who are not part of our group have about our group. In simple terms it refers to those beliefs we have about how other race, ethnic, nations view our own race ,ethnic or nation.

These may be brought about by our own insecurities.

Mostly when meeting a person for the first time we don't focus only on their character but also on how we think they view us,this is referred to as meta-perception. Metaperception doesn't give us any clue how they really view us as a result of insufficient information on our side we tend to jump into considering what group do they belong to and what does that group think about our group and then we draw a conclusion based now on meta-stereotype.

Like in the case above Paul meet Bill and his meta-stereotype is based on race ;how he thinks African Americans view whites in America.
