You definitely have a point there. I can see how stereotyping segregates humans into different categories.
However, steretypes are everywhere, even in those who point them out. By placing stereotypes unto ethnicities, I don't feel they're feeling superior unless they actually
do feel superior. Cause then they're just stereotyping. You can stereotype a white male as much as you can an Asian. It eliminates the idea of either one being superior/inferior. At least, IMO.
