Yes, but the only problem with stereotypes is, again, the actions that result. What about a coworker who screams obscenities, threatens violence, claims "Hitler didn't go far enough", makes unwanted sexual comments, and casually talks about raping the secretary? Is this okay as long as he doesn't actually do any of those things? After all, only actions matter... right?

Or suppose some "offensive" thing was a slip of the tongue, or an honest mistake made through ignorance. I've been "that guy" more than once.
