THAT WHICH DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER.
Bull. Reality is, it will usually hurt like hell and leave you with a permanent limp.
We all KNOW that stereotypes aren't true: or are they ? Isn't there some deep basis of truths to even the most offensive stereotypes ? When we hear stereotyping, don't we silently agree to ourselves that "well, there is SOME truth to that" ? Or do we ? Don't we all know that when we hear "Jews will cheat you", "Irish are drunks", "Indians are worthless", "Blacks are lazy", "Rednecks are stupid", "Republicans are bigots", and "Mexicans are thieves" that enough of them ARE to justify tainting the whole group? Or is this simply bigotry based on hate? And finally, are you quilty ? Either of BEING a stereotype ? or of stereotyping ?
Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

How about “People who play rap music so loud that others are forced to hear it are inconsiderate aholes”?
LOL B.o.B. before we could answer your question we will have to go off on a tangent and decide the difference in " inconsiderate assholes" and "considerate assholes".

I don't believe in stereotyping, only because I get stereotyped ALL THE TIME! I am a young attractive woman and I die half of my hair blonde. (naturally brunette) I work with computers and with more men then women. When people see me they think I am dumb, ditzy, etc. I may be street-dumb, but I am very book smart! I could put a computer together blind folded. I never even went to school for computers when I started working with them at a helpdesk. I worked 8yrs with computers before I went to school to get my Bachelor's in computers. Anyways, I always get treated like I am dumb, only from first impressions because of my appearance.
And now that I think about it, I am guilty of stereotyping too!
"I am a young attractive woman and I die half of my hair blonde. (naturally brunette) "------------------------
Maybe I should put you on my short list .
Now that's stereotyping!
"Now that's stereotyping!" --------- Nay, nay , tiz not. I am taking your description of yourself at face value -- that's not stereotyping, that's faith and hope.
It's dye, not die...no offense.
