The article gives a lengthy argument to show that "stereotypes are inaccurate" is inaccurate.

And I just gave a reason why stereotypes can be inaccurate. There's truth in stereotyping and also truth in being cautious about stereotyping because if we want to have a civil society, both frames of thought need moderated.

Edit: Also are we getting the irony that "stereotypes are inaccurate" is a stereotype in itself that has proven at times to be inaccurate?

Aren't stereotypes distinct from myths?
