Sep 12 2010: we are a human beings, and based on our nature full of experiences which are not absolutely our personal experiences, but sometimes second hand ones, or narrated, or etc. we don't have time to study every single person in related nation or culture, as the nature of our brain is to categorize and classify every thing for ease of understanding , we also try to put people in to predetermined categories which are not always definitely true. to pass above these stereotypes which are everywhere and about every nation,before jumping into conclusion we need to be more patient and judge people by their own personal identities and not by simply classifying them, I should say that stereotyping could be the sign of lazy mind who is not trying to discover the truth but prefer labeling, (with this regard I myself unfortunately am a lazy person), on the other side, it could the sign of time economy ;)
