I can't say I've ever put that much thought into it, to be honest. Stereotyping will probably always be around, so long as there are people that create it, as it were. For example, so long as so many geeks have glasses, someone like me will be labeled a geek. I just don't take them overly seriously. I make blonde jokes, I call myself a geek or a nerd; honestly just doesn't bother me. I don't see a stereotype as a factual term. Maybe I've missed something, but I can't says it bothers me that much... there's perhaps two that often bug me:

1. Everyone with OCD is a "germaphobe".
2. ...can't remember the other one. -.-
