Stereotypes aren't true.. at least not always true. Meaning of stereotype: a thought or image about a group of people based on little or no evidence. There we go, it's based on little or no evidence which means for example not all women are emotional, and not all Americans are rude. Stereotypes reduces people or things to a category which might sometimes make it easier to make a false judgement about someone or something. People tend to make jokes out of stereotypes but again, it may be true for some, but not all. Even though there are both positive and negative stereotypes, we should not judge someone just based on that because if you say Asians are good at math in front of one who sucks at math, they might be offended.
