Racial stereotypes 
There are examples of racial stereotypes too. For 
instance, the Asians are stereotyped to be good at 
mathematics; the blacks are stereotyped to be good at 
athletics and dancing. These can be regarded as positive 
stereotypes. Other stereotype like "All Muslims are 
terrorists" is a negative stereotype, and many more.

Political stereotypes 
There are also examples of political stereotypes. 
These stereotypes have been deep rooted in the mindset 
of the general public, because of the general 
interpretation of the policies of a political party. Political 
stereotypes include: All democrats are liberals, All 
Republicans are racists, Religion-based party are 
hypocrite, All Democrats are Stupid, and All 
Republicans are against the "working man".
