Any stereotype at all—we can only solve our problems if we know them first! Be kind, please.

all americans are uncultured, arrogant, rich idiots who don't know anything.
all rural americans are trump worshipping rednecks who wanna hoard guns, think being christian makes them better than anyone, and hate all other races..
You took the words right out of my mouth, this was exactly what I was thinking.
Autistic people
We aren't all stupid or r******d
NOT ALL PEOPLE WITH GLASSES ARE NERDS
The stereotypical belief that those with Intellectual Disabilities are void of any intelligence at all and cannot learn, have erratic ticks and all are non-verbal.
I've had the best, deep conversations with people who have Intellectual Disabilities. They can come up with insightful theories and bring up details "normal" people wouldn't think of. They are capable of learning anything, as long as it piques their interest and have the determination. It just takes them a bit longer and some adjusted methods to get there.
It also depends on the severity.
"yOu'Re NoT biSeXuAl, YoU'rE jUsT cOnFuSeD!"
this is what i've been told, but replace bisexual with trans
When Americans show patriotism, people call them nationalistic. We can be proud of our country and recognize it without thinking we're the best.
Also, another panda touched in stereotypes about Americans- that too.
Another one is that many people think introverts cannot survive by themselves, and baby them. It gives me the "ick".
That women from Thailand are all ... well, working (or did start) in the sexual industry. I'm married to my wife for 20 years. We met halfway around the globe when she was working in the US as a restaurant manager. I'm Swiss and she's Thai. And still we have to deal with that stereotype regularly...
I guess this might count? "Oh you're colour blind? What's this?" *Points at random thing* like guys come on
That teens are just moody because they're teens. Any amount of emotional distress or ANYTHING is overlooked simply because of hormones.
Similar to what @Aud (formerly Spooky) said, but for me it's "You are not Aro-Ace, you just don't have a crush yet"
Literally any stereotype about southerners (from the US). I feel like most people don't actually believe all the American stereotypes and just say them mockingly or as a joke, but more people actually believe the stereotypes about all southerners being dumb, uneducated, rednecks, and/or racist. That's just not true and honestly a little insulting because where you're born has NO affect on your personality and there are plenty of amazing people in the south
