In my experience, I stereotyped in Poland.
I stayed a hotel, and sometimes used the restaurant in the hotel.
at the evening time, a band played some music.
When the band members found out us who are of cource typical
"Japanese", they always played "Sukiyaki Song"!  Every time to eat!

In another case in Thailand, I told me from Thai staffs, "You are
funny Japanese.  Because, you always make jokes and laughs."

To stereotype foreigners is international common sense.  But Japanese
behaves too heavy, I suppose.
