Nope, I am clearly biased, but I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. As humans it's important for us to have preferences, we have to be able to make decisions and we use bias (stereotypes) to do so. In the stone age, when we heard a roar we assumed (stereotyped) that roar was a predator. If we hadn't had that bias, we might think "I should be open minded and not assume that roar is bad, hey I'll go check it out." Dead caveman. It's perfectly natural for us to be biased. The kicker is that we shouldn't use our biases to be rude or mean to one another, because after all, we're not cavemen anymore.
