What are some sterotypes you come across on a regular basis?
I came up with a few:
If you're good looking, everything must come easily to you.
If you're good with computers, you must be a geek.
If you're athletic, you must be dumb.
If you're a vegetarian, you must be flaky.
If you're a Christian, you must go around shoving your beliefs down everyone's throats.
If you're an atheist, you must not have any morals.
(specifically in the US):
If you're from the North, you must be a Democrat.
If you're from the South, you must be a Republican.
What others do you encounter?
If you state a well known truth, it must be a stereotype...
If you like harassing old farmers you must be a shewolf.
If you live in a swamp, and like chasing wolves, you must be ..... Gus!
Just because you hang around playgrounds with your fly unzipped, you're a "pervert."
poor = lazy
(so not true!)

Thats not a stereotype, at least to some extent.

Ah yes, this is a good example.
I just realized! I've been misspelling stereotypes! Damn!
I wonder how I'm going to be stereotyped for that?
I just thought maybe the "e" button on your keyboard wasn't working right...
Actually... I didn't even notice... heh...
If you make a statement that falls somewhat to the left or center of American politics, you are voicing Political Correctness, therefore, in the wrong, automatically.
Hmmm....How about this one?
If you are a Republican, you must not care about the poor.
If you are a Democrat, you must not believe in being responsible.
If you have a beard, long hair and are wearing well worn clothing people figure you to be a pathetic bum...and will walk into oncoming traffic to avoid sharing a sidewalk with you.
If you like the Yankees; you are mentally ill.
If you're ambidextrous you are unable to make decisions.
If you live in New York you must be a thug.
Stumble It!
