Just because a stereotype may sound good doesn't mean it represents the truth. It may at times, but not always. It is hackneyed, oversimplified, and formulaic.
When Americans tell me "you have good English", I simply tell them, "actually, yours is not so bad, either." They get my message.
When you or I stereotype someone, we are simply not seeing that person for who he is. Of all the places, it should not be acceptable at academic institutions.
Nothing ridiculous about that.
