I wont go into which ones are accurate and which ones aren't Ill just say...they exist for a reason and stereotypes just dont pop into existance from thin air.
um, arent you being a bit contradictory there? a stereotype is used to judge a large group, and if the stereotype is usually right then wouldnt it make judging the individual a tad useless? using them because theyre right on a few counts and saying they're usually right leads to never judging the individual, because first impressions are importiant.
