Do you hold stereotypes?

Do you hold any stereotypes? Do you tend to lump certain groups of people together and make assumptions about them? If so, why? Where did those stereotypes or assumptions come from? Do you believe they are justified? Why or why not? I believe that we all hold stereotypes, whether we are aware of them or not. For me, I have stereotypes concerning people in the area where I live. I tend to think that they are all very politically conservative. I am always surprised when I talk with folk around here who are actually very open minded. Anyway, I try not to hold stereotypes, but I know that from time to time I'm guilty of it. What about you?
