Question: is stereotyping always wrong, or does it ever serve a valid purpose? Another, is there any basis for stereotyping that is in any way meaningful?

Interesting question. Give me an example of a stereotype you think is right or one that servers a purpose and I'll tell you if I think it's wrong.

Black people typically don't have dads that are around.

Jews are good with money.

Mormons are good people.

Southern (Kentucky, West Virginia, Mississippi) people are inbreds.

White people can't jump.

Black people can't swim.

Asians are smart.

Women (especially Asians) can't drive.

Rich people don't care about poor people.

Poor people are lazy.

Black people like fried chicken and grape kool-aid.

Is this enough? I've got lots more.

Which on that list do you think are right and/or serve a purpose?

Nobody specific I'm sure. He was just stereotyping. No big deal.

There is nothing to be gained in so doing. Almost no one would admit openly. Nor was that really the point my posting it to begin with.

If you're going to call people out, then you should at least name names.

C'mon, lets go. Who do you think would be interested in it?

As I said in my third sentence, that wasn't really the point of my posting the link.

Ok, let's start with the first one. How does that stereotype serve a purpose? Or how is it meaningful?
