 Psychologists have shown that stereotypes are nonetheless helpful for human beings - it helps cut down on the information to be processed if the brain can make assumptions about a person upon first meeting, thus preserving processing power.<ref>http://www.simplypsychology.org/katz-braly.html</ref>  As a result, stereotyping is unlikely to disappear.
