Which negative stereotypes are most accurate?

In Social Psychology you learn that stereotypes are a logical way to form impressions of people based upon limited information. That said, there are some I think hold pretty true and others that don't.

In general, I think Jews are cheap- the ones that aren't are often not very religious. I have some others but I would like to get OOT opinions.

I think that Phrygians are really really standoffish, but maybe that's just me.

Black people like fried chicken. You're getting flamed for this BTW.

Asians are good at math, but usually not good at poker.
