The Purpose Of Sterotypes

Sometimes, it seems impossible to do away with stereotyping. Sure, most would want to get rid of stereotypes since it puts everyone in little boxes that have none of the intricacies of individual personalities. (Un?)fortunately, there are times when they are convenient, or even desirable. Strangely enough, some get a kick out of fitting in. And you need stereotypes to fit into groups. That's true even if you're trying to fit into a group of misfits.
