People routinely whine when stereotypes are brought up.
"Not everyone is like that," they say. Which is true, but that isn't the point. There are enough of these events which give rise to the stereotype.
Take for example the black guy with the fat woman stereotype. People will say black men like fat women, and in the next breath talk about how abusive he is and she tolerates it because a) she has low self-esteem or b) she thinks she's a strong woman and can take it.
Such is the case of my neighbor who for the life of me I can't figure out if he works at all. He is literally up at all hours of the day and night with no volume control in his voice and routinely cursing, with a fair amount directed at the "bitch" he's living with.
Of course these are the same people who are running their air conditioner in January so maybe there's something else going on. I'm simply waiting for the gun shots to ring out.
Then we come to the stereotype of Jewish people and money. Whenever anyone brings up the subject they are immediately pounced upon as being anti-semitic despite the stereotype being revealed. Take for example current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is under investigation for bribery (i.e. money).
Not to be left out, the stereotype of a redneck garners images which people in the Midwest (of the U.S.) will tell you isn't true, that it truly is a stereotype. And yet a simple search on 'redneck' reveals a plethora of folks who are proudly displaying the very stereotype they complain people are pinning them with.
Let us not forget the people of Walmart:

Finally, the stereotype of fat Americans is rampant, not only in America but across the globe. People will deny it, making all manner of claims, and then:

So remember, the next time you want to point out that not everyone is like 'that', stereotypes exist for a reason.
