Yes, it is completely natural for people to categorize and sort things according to their degree of similarities.
This ability is what helps the mind learn easily, predict, and by extension, plan effectively.
Sorting and categorization into groups of similar persons and or items also has the advantage of language formation, understanding, and communication. It is also useful for helping with drawing inferences.
This ability, as with everything in life, is not without its demerits.
When applied inflexibly to human beings, it results in the error of generalization or stereotyping.
Stereotyping is a permanent perception that a person may hold about a class of persons which is often never completely true for everyone in that population.
For example, to say that all colored people do very well at sports would be a stereotype.
