That is an excellent movie BTW. The stereotypical aspects are subtle and complicated but basically it is our nature to see things through the eyes of our own upbringing and experience, and to recognize only that which confirms our beliefs rather than challenges them. In this case, the jury of hard working, basically honest men with families and responsibilities were inclined to look on a kid from the slums in a very stereotypical way. He would be a bum, troublemaker, etc. - guilty from the start. The tendency toward conformity was another stereotype portrayed by the jurors who wanted to go along with the majority rather than question a lifetime of personal beliefs.
I'll stop there.
