I personally think that stereotypes come from a time when humans lived in small tribal groups and had to be defensive or suspicious of other groups in order to keep their group safe. As modern societies have become more universal over the centuries, it has become clear that each individual society shares the same human traits and that human behavior is universal.
I also think it is up to us as individuals to recognize our own innate bigotries, which are part of our human nature, and try to overcome them and if we have the opportunity, to oppose bigotry when we see it around us.
We stereotype because people tend to judge others by their looks. If you've ever heard the old adage, "Don't judge a book by its cover" then that's stereotyping in a nutshell. For instance, in high school, a person like a wannabe will look over at a girl who's joining the popular girl clique and think, "Oh, that girl must be really popular." or a jock will meet a really smart student and think, "That person's a total geek!" when they're not. Stereotyping kills because some people are too shy to shake the label, while others DO try to shake their label, but end up being disliked by a lot of people.
In some ways stereotyping simplifies the world for us. It allows us to group large numbers of people together by assuming they all have similar characteristics. These assumptions however, are often incorrect. Sometimes stereotyping is encouraged for questionable reasons, such as the anti-semitic Propaganda that Hitler produced.

it is when one behavior and one motive are attributed to all people seeking to change countries of residence and work on extended bases that immigrants are stereotyped. For example, it is important to be vigilant about proper agendas, documentation, and intents even though that does not mean that all immigrants have falsified or no paperwork.
The jock is a big stereotyped character. They are always stereotyped to be extremely stupid. When in fact they have to be so smart to even play a sport, so that stereotype is untrue
Someone who is viewed by others based on which group or race he belongs to is being stereotyped. So if you see someone wearing a turban you might think they were bad because many terrorists wear turbans. Even though the person has done nothing at all wrong, they can be stereotyped as a terrorist based on the way they dress.
Blonde's have been stereotyped as being dumb.
On the contrary, they are just the opposite to being stereotyped. Religious people have a purpose in their lives, each one an individual capable of thinking and reasoning for themselves. It is unfortunate that those who are not religious can be classed as stereotyped.

Many people get stereotyped. It is very possible that we all get stereotyped at one time in our lives. Judging people is very common based on physical appearance. Labels are given by the way someone looks. This question could be more opinion but labels are given and received by everyone.
People are stereotyped by what they where or how they speak. Even on sexual orientation. There true feelings and emotions are what people look at and if they don't like it when they figure them out the victim is punished by being picked on!
