I can stereotype all I like.

I don't think legislation should be enacted upon my stereotypes, how does my opinion impact you and why should you care? I'm not so much a stereotyper as a "trend noticer" anyway. You may not fall into the trend, but a lifetime of experience says you do until you prove otherwise. A "guilty until proven innocent" attitude about certain things. Is it right? Maybe not, but It's human nature. Your life experience shapes your perception of the world around you.
