It's impossible to fully combat stereotypes, so all I can see are old ones gradually dying and new ones taking their place. Stereotypes are primarily based on ignorance and incorrect interpretation so unless we went out of our way to debunk them (which would be a waste of time since it's not really detrimental to the world) they'll remain with us forever. It's a feature of civilisations that has always been there throughout history too; Greeks thought that their 'uncivilised' neighbours (Thracians, Celts, etc.) sounded like 'barbarbar' when they talked so the term barbarian was coined, and anyone would know that a language wouldn't ever try to sound like that so like I said earlier in this pot it was based on ignorance and incorrect interpretation.
