Very narrow minds.
An individual has an unpleasant experience with or observes a certain behavior trait in a particular ethnic group, age range, gender, economic status, neightborhood, etc. and generalizes it to ALL!

The "all Jews are rich" stereotype comes from the Middle Ages. The pope only allows Jews to work in money lending, a profession closed to Christians. Thus, Jews controlled a monopoly of money. Christians job jealous, so the stereotype begins...

All people categorize, create a short hand for any person, type, situation, condition, etc. We love to pigeonhole and create labels.

Mostly from ignorant parents, who in turn raise ignorant children, then release them into society!
