Stereotypes are something or a person relating to those styles they are most commonly associated with. For example, the group that such person or thing belongs to, regardless of whether that perception is true. Stereotyping can be said to be a way of discrimination, when in reality it is a natural "structure" used by people to better understand the world. This is why when someone says "hockey player" you think of a white guy, or "rapper" and you think of a black guy, or "city" and you think of things like skyscrapers.
I belive stereotypes come from television, and other people who spread this stereotyping game over to everyone like an infectuous disease. It doesn't always necissarily mean it is a bad thing, but other people can become offended by any un-mindful comment.
