From Wiki

A stereotype is a held popular belief about specific social groups or types of individuals. The concepts of "stereotype" and "prejudice" are often confused with many other different meanings. Stereotypes are standardized and simplified conceptions of groups based on some prior assumptions.

When a kid grow up those around the kid, mostly his parents and relatives start stereotyping him/her like 

• He yells like hell 
• She is of quieter type
• He has no interest in business
• Whatever he tries he fails

etc.

From these stereotypes and our own experiences about life, good or bad, emerge ideas like

• He has to be fixed. Like fix a job, a marriage etc.
• He has to complete his education, he has no mind for business

So when one is on the other side, say on the inside/ receiving end of these ideas, one generally revolts. Trying to assert otherwise, and in the process helping to strengthen the stereotype. And the ideas that come are

• Why can't people leave me alone
• Why not just allow me to learn from my life and keep me out of your prejudiced viewpoint

And life turns into a melange of these ideas, jumping from one to another. Sometimes, me stereotyping people, at other times trying to fight the stereotype that has been fixed like Samuel Taylor Coleridge would have called it, an albatross.

Natalie Keener: That's racist.
Ryan Bingham: I'm like my mother, I stereotype. It's faster.
