what stereo types have you heard of ?
i've been hearing this one alot; even though to me its not a bad stereotype "All asians are good at math and get good grades"
then there's the really bad ones like "iraqi's blow everything up."
here are a couple more stereotypes at urban dictionary:

This is sort of like asking for a list of all adjectives in the dictionary. Stereotypes are so numerous; and the most influential ones are the ones we take for granted, and slip from our conscious efforts to find them.
Such as asking for a list of them. The important ones won't make that list ;) Because we take them for granted.

I find the one about Asians getting good grades and are exceptional in math offensive because I myself am not great at math and don't always get the best of grades even though i'm Asian.

Actually, the stereotype you reference really pisses off Asians that are terrible at math...
But I hear most Asians are horrible drivers... And lets not forget about black "criminals" - or lazy Mexicans...
BTW, Im a lazy Mexican...

How about : Aussies are all sports mad Croc Hunters who live in the Outback...
Why is this a G,L,TG question? Don't Sterotypes affect all of us?
