But that's not what people stereotype nowadays, so how do you know which one is right? (that was a rhetorical question, no need to answer it).
The point is, I could create a stereotype about anything, but that wouldn't mean that it's true. When someone had the genius idea to stereotype witches as old women covered in boils, how do you know that they had it right?
