Stereotypes do serve their purpose. They are used to create niches. They divide people into groups in which they can then fit in and create relationships.
Yes, they have their hurtful downside. I've been victim to that, as have many people. But I still think everyone will fit into these roles and overall, not suffer too much from there. Most people don't much care about them anyway. At least, not where I grew up.
