I think you’re looking for “Stereotype” here – this from Oxford online :

Stereotype

NOUN

1 A widely held, but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.

“The stereotype of the woman as the carer”

‘Sexual and racial stereotypes’

2. Who is the correct, and with the right purpose, person should be subject to a widely held, but oversimplified image of the type or class they belong to. 2.

Like ‘don’t treat anyone as a

stereotype?’ Seems to me to be exactly what you’re looking

for.
