There is no particular stereotype that is common to an entire social, ethnic, or centric class. However, there are many agencies, government, social, and otherwise who would love you to believe they exist. These are the same groups that want divisions in our culture to keep us fighting among ourself, so we won't notice how badly we're being screwed by the upper 1%.
If there is ever to be any change for the better in the world, we must all realize that we have no where else to go, we either all share this world or all die slowly. However, we must also understand that humans as a species have only been on this little blue ball for around 3 million years or so. We are still babies, we still want what we want, NOW! And everything we see is still MINE! We have a great deal of growing to do. Maybe one day we will realize that all differences are social and mean less than nothing. The one truth we all share is death, and the one fact we all must realize is that life is a zero sum game.
Not to put to fine a point on it, we humans are not as evolved as we love to think ourselves. Our various colors are an evolutionary responce to a particular environment, our difference in gender is for the purpose of procreation, and our variation in social strata is dependent upon region, religious dogma, and need to feel superior as if that were possible. How can we be more than human? Sorry won't happen folks.

NO stereotypes are ALWAYS true.
When you assume that someone follows a stereotype just because they fit the look, that is called "pre-judging" them.
Even if stereotypes are mostly true, they're not always true. So try to avoid falling into that trap. Otherwise you're going to treat someone badly. Just your thoughts can affect your outward actions.
