That a problem though. Many stereotype might have started out of pure ignorance or racism. I've read a historical book bout southeast asia where many of the European had this stereotype of Asian as lazy, stupid people. I doubt that many European will attest to that stereotype, but many stereotype have gone on even though it's false.
