I think that socioeconomic stereotypes are more influential than those of race or gender. For instance, a wealthy person of any race will look down on a poorer person as though they were a loser, scum, bum, or trash. Even though they may not have been afforded the same opportunities or may not have been able to take advantage of those opportunities because of the stereotypes put on them.
Granted, racial stereotypes have an impact on the lives and actions of all races. However, the positive racial stereotypes put on whites may affect poorer white people because they are believed to be wealthy and can produce as such. Furthermore, socioeconomic stereotypes encompass all races, religions, genders, and sexual orientations.
