Yeah, they may derive, but stereotypes are generalizing people, and everytime I see a black man I dont instantly think he's steals for a "job". I dont think every mexicans are lazy. It's stereotypes, and it may be true for some and wrong for others. And even if it's true, there are people like that in every other race.
I bet that white people also steal, but people dont go and "derive from common occurrences" that all white people steal. Only blacks. So, why should I believe? Stereotypes are a bunch of cr@ps and something I will never believe in.

I think that now days, the more that our world becomes multi-cultural, the less accurate those stereotypes can be.
cuzz like, you can have a whole neighbourhood that's know for violent crime, right? so people would be scared to go out at night (im not sure thats the exact same thing as stereotyping though? maybe thats more like "reputation") ?
F, I dunno.. but I hear what you're saying, and I agree, tiz best to forget stereotype, especially to avoid insulting people... i mean, I don't want chicks thinking I got a small wiener or something just cuzz im not black?
Oh hey look, here`s the answer!
Now boys don't take the fun out of the thread!!! There is a difference between prejudices and stereotypes. The black man as a thief falls under a prejudice more then a stereotype. stereotypes are not always true but they are based on a grain of truth about cultural differences. Such as women and men think differently or culturally oriental people are more stoic etc.

The biggest teddy bears I know are the roughest looking of men. I try to meet everyone with an open mind and give them the benefit of the doubt, but have to admit I am a mean unforgiving b*tch if you take advantage of my open nature.
