Where does the stereotype actually come from? Is it the rituals themselves, or just what people project onto them?

Kolkata and black magic?
So I am from India.. more specifically.. West Bengal, Kolkata..yes I am Bengali those people who loves "mach(fish)" "ilish(a kind of fish)" and "rosogolla(a sweet)".. personally I don't love them that much.. but as a Bengali person that is mandatory in our culture.. in any even you will surely be welcomed by rosogolla.. even in funerals.. mach and rosogolla is served..the fish is mandatory in funeral, marriage, birthdays and almost every event.. and now where was i? Yes the black magic.. whenever they hear that I am "bangali" they ask me one question "do you know black magic?" I mean how can I?? It's not like every Bengali do black magic and obviously i am not that sort of person who find joy in seeing others suffer! So please stop asking if I can do black magic or not T_T.. though I do know a thing or two.. does seducing cats to be friends count as something special? Oh my god.. what am I saying.. sorry so where was i.. yeah black magic.. well its not actually all a myth.. cause black magic are true.. people can even die from this so it's not false.. even if every Bengali don't know black magic.. most of the Bengali do follow some weird sort of things.. like "nozor tola(trying to dismiss bad spirit)".. in a puja we also make some dolls of flour dough.. specifically 3 of them.. color them in red, yellow and white and then just abandon them outside in the street with some food there.. it's not black magic but a ritual but it can be a black magic too.. I am not really sure.. now people would come and say "so it's true that bengali people do black magic?".. well yes.. it's true but not all the people do the "bad black magic" where they do it to harm people.. so maybe you like the information.. if you have anything to ask.. do ask me.. I will answer

The flour doll ritual is what got me. That's beautifully specific.

Okay but the 'black magic is real and people can die' part actually confuses me. Is that the ritual side, or something else? I genuinely can't tell if you mean folk practice or supernatural.

the pain of being alive.
"every morning i feel the pain of being alive seep into my body, no one understands it but i no longer recognize myself, i am a ghost and the voices in my head do nothing but ask me to end their agony, i have never been able to be happy and now i know i never will be because i am rotten from within, my father is my creator and at the same time he is the monster who passed down each of his mistakes to me, it is difficult to wake up every day knowing that i am a being destined to fade away".
