Stereotype products may not transfer across social spheres

Evidence

Secondly, the process of stereotypification acknowledges the existence of products and their purpose but does not necessarily acknowledge that they have any greater value or function: they are products that provide a means to identify and nothing more. Identifying stereotypes in the media therefore, does not necessarily mean that these same stereotypes can or indeed will translate or be readily identifiable, recognisable or influential in other socio-economic or socio-political spheres. Some products may therefore be quite unique and relevant to one only particular sphere whilst other products may have a transferable value, being relevant and valid in different social, economic and political contexts. This is not to suggest that the meaning that underpins them cannot be translated to other settings and contexts but just the product and nothing more. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 737
