"It's all about perception and stereotypes. From the clothes you wear, the tone you speak, the way you shake hands, and the amount of smile you give, etc etc."

I totally agree with this - some stereotypes are GREAT for your image. For example, being viewed as a "Smart asian" gives you credibility when talking about science/math, while a "Smooth talker" has more ethos when talking about consumer relations.
