The people from other groups are not as well known as our own people, so that’s why stereotypes are used. Almost everyone has heard of the story from the man, who dislikes all Moroccans (or Spaniards or any other group), except for his own Moroccan neighbour; that is really a nice person. This man thinks he knows how the other group is, but when he meets someone and communicates with him on a more interpersonal level, he feels awkward. He wants to get rid of this feeling, so he has to change either his view about the whole group or make an exception for this one person. Almost every time people make an exception instead of maybe changing the view of the whole group. This process of seeing your own group as individuals and seeing the differences between the members of others groups as little as possible, is called the "emphasizing effect". The same goes for the group of Klingon speakers. Many outsiders see the members of this group as nerds, as geeks, and as long as we do not know the entire group, we will not change this idea.
