No they exist because a MAJORITY of people within the stereotype conform to it. Learn what the word means before you argue against it. I find that msot times it's the ignorant who throw around the word "ignorant" most often...
STEREOTYPE:
NOUN: 1. A conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image.
2. One that is regarded as embodying or conforming to a set image or type.
Example - Elderly people drive slow and/or poorly.
Black people like hip hop and/or soul.
White people can't dance very well.
Politicians from Texas are murderous assholes.
See? It all makes sense. Thanks for playing.
