Those are 2 popular ones for you.
The media and movies seem to use stereotypes alot.
When watching movies, do you ever a see a Chinese character who isn't in the film as a martial arts expert? LOL not often right.
Idiots and the uneducated see a stereotype and really believe in it.
No doubt they contain some truth, but they still can't be treated as accurate.

I didn't list "black" for a reason. I said religions and regions, stereotypes go hand in hand with the areas that you were raised in. How can you deny that? Yes, some people slip through the cracks, just like not all sharks bite. But it's still common sense to keep an open eye until you're in a position to "trust" someone.
