There is nothing wrong with stereotypes (if they are true) as long as you don't use them to judge individuals.
That is literally what stereotyping is, though. When you stereotype people you are placing a judgement upon people. When you utilize a stereotype, you have a prejudice towards an individual from the group for which that stereotype is held, an incorrect one in this case, I might add.
