Not to split hairs... but your link defines Stereotype (noun): an often unfair and untrue belief that many people have about all people or things with a particular characteristic

Note the word often which does not mean always.

Often (adverb): many times : on many occasions

Always (adverb): at all times

So a stereotype, by definition, may be true... though often is not.
