what is the term for the phenomenon in which a social group is the focus of so much attention that any negative action committed by a member of that group is used as evidence of their immorality?

for example, joe rogan recently made a false claim on his podcast with steve-o,

"Rogan, in one of the more reckless moments of the episode, claimed that transgender mass shooters had killed more people than ICE this year and suggested that “the majority” of high school shootings had been committed by transgender people"

would appreciate the help.
