One thing about stereotyping is, almost all stereotypes are based in reality. You see a lot of people in a certain group who have many or all of the same characteristics and traits. Some people make a blanket statement about all people of that group, but others know that while many in that group may share certain traits, not all of them do, so they will remain open-minded and willing to give each individual a chance.
