There are a lot of stereotypes out there. There's probably one for every group.
Irishmen are drunks, Jews are cheap, Asians are overachieving supergeniuses, British people have bad teeth, Southerns are part of the KKK, Black Women end up with 14 children on welfare, the French are arrogant, Sicilians are all associated with organized crime, Arabs fund terrorism with all their oil money, Asian women are submissive, etc.
In this prompt, you are to pick a common stereotype and find some way to turn it on its head, your story should redeem that stereotype without, in any way, reinforcing it or showing it to be true.
