But we can have gismu (with short rafsi!) for specific cultures? Just
because something's essentially imaginary doesn't mean we get to ignore it.
Stereotypes aren't imaginary. They're derogatory, insulting, and WRONG.

All Mexicans are thieves.
Women are weaker than men.
Blondes are stupid.
Irish people are alcoholics.
I could go on, but I think this shows my point well enough.
