A stereotype is a stereotype, no matter who it is about
You seem to be getting confused about stereotypes and facts.

It is a stereotype that Americans are fat and stupid.

It is a fact that Americans have a massive obesity problem.

It's possible to argue that all Muslims are not terrorists, but it is not possible to argue that America doesn't have a massive obesity problem.

HTH.
