Get the stereotypes mug.
The single most pointless use of Urban Dictionary.

**most stereotypes are true in some cases. some are mostly true, some not at all

there is also no point bitching about stereotypes, because in the end they are pretty harmless.

it just gets annoying as hell when people define something just in defense, but then go define something else with some obvious stereotype

Truthful assumption of a person which saves quite a bit of time. You may find a person who does not fit a stereotype, but these should be the exception, not the rule.
Person 1: Stereotypes aren't true!
Person 2: Yes they are, stupid; THAT'S WHY THEY EXIST!

A stereotype is a characteristic assumed by people regarding a certain population. Stereotypes are usually based on the history of that population and are also portrayed by the media. Stereotypes usually have a negative connotation, since it is including all people of a certain population into characteristics when really only a select few possesses.
1. If you are a teenager, you curse like a sailor, do drugs and cause trouble.
2. If you are white, you are a hypocrite that is jealous of society because you can't move up in life.
3. If you are black, you fail out of school, live on welfare and leech off the government, doing nothing with your life.
4. If you are a Jew, you are very careful with money and have huge ambitions to get rich.
5. If you are Muslim, you are a crazy, maniacal mastermind that likes to blow shit up and cause chaos.

Those are all examples of stereotypes.
