As far as I'm concerned "stereotype" usually doesn't allow for positivity. Even something like "they are the pretty girls" or "those guys are good in bed" or "they are the smart ones" is negative because 1) the average person in that org isn't "pretty" or "good in bed" or "smart" (by average standards) and 2) that implies a deficit in the other groups.
Now,
generalizations that are based on people's observations are understandable. But my generalizations based on my observations would defy what many of the folks on this board believe to be true. Lastly, generalizations based on the demographic info our orgs publish are the most valid because they tend not to be based on seemingly superficial and subjective criteria.
