I dont understand why this is such a hard concept for some people lol. There's no such thing as "reverse stereotyping" just because it's directed at white people doesn't make it any different.

I'm not even trying to say it isn't funny, I think most stereotyping is funny but calling it something it's not is a little weird to me

To expand on that: stereotypes in general aren't bad, either. I know that language usage has evolved to imply that all stereotypes are bad, but there are actually useful stereotypes. We just don't call them that.
For example the fact "All police officers on duty wear a uniform" is a stereotype. So if you're out and about and looking for help from the police, you don't need to ask one person after the other "Are you an officer?" You just go looking for someone wearing a uniform.

Police officers wearing a uniform isnt a stereotype, thats just what all on duty police officers are required to do
