In my experience, the extent to which any given person really 'fits' the stereotype is generally quite trivial. Take any time to get to know a person who feels the need to 'act out' a certain social category out of defensiveness (and most of us do, for some 'stereotype', in some way--it's natural to want to preserve your 'self' in the face of others by turning it into a fixed image), and you'll soon find that the 'stereotype' which that person initially seemed to be nothing but another type of evaporates, or becomes unimportant.

Basically--you have to make a conscious decision to see other human beings *as* human beings. And I don't buy the idea of blaming the other person because the stereotype is all *I* can see in them.
