Some stereotypes, based on unbiased observations of actual behavior, can be accurate and useful:

• Japanese people and other Asians are liable to bow when meeting others
• Some ethinic groups have a different conception of "personal space" than Westerners. ( Latinos and peoples from the Middle East exhibit a similar lack of conscientiousness of the notion of 'personal space'). They often move in close and speak nearly in someone's face. This is often considered offensive among most Westerners, but in some countries it actually denotes conversational intimacy and respect.
• Swiss Germans are punctilious, particularly about time. It is considered an insult to be even a few minutes late for an appointment.
