The thing about stereotypes is that they were developed based on repetitive observations about a particular group, race, religion, creed, country, etc. by a third party (which is often actually someone within the group that is being made fun of). I would surrender that some stereotypes are extreme, but either way they typically are developed like a good lie:
GOOD LIE = 20% TRUTH + 10% ERRONEOUS DATA + 70% BOLD-FACED LIE
So next time some douche tells you that, "Not all Mexicans eat beans with every meal" tell him/her that enough do for you to make fun of them for it.
