I think we define our stereotypes through our personal experiences. If you are fortunate to come in contact with a wide array of different cultures and races, then you realize that there are good folks everywhere of every creed. If you don't you have to base your opinions on third hand accounts and what you absorb through the media.
Unfortunately, because most of us don't come in contact with other cultures (for whatever reason) we only see them as what popular culture wants to portray them as. A lot of us live with the notion that what we see on MTV is what you get. And it's these badly formed notions that shape our opinion and ultimately our behavior.
