It does not cover stereotypes that are unique to a specific country or culture.

Common stereotypes
Dancing ability One common stereotype, relayed in comparison to a typical black stereotype, is that white people lack a sense of rhythm and cannot dance. Eddie Murphy discusses this in Eddie Murphy Raw (1987)[1]: This article discusses stereotypes of blacks of African descent present in American culture. ...

Eddie Murphy Raw (1987) is an American stand-up comedy film directed by Robert Townsend and starring Eddie Murphy. ...
White people can't dance. I'm not being racist it's true. Just like when white people say black people have big lips, it's not racist it's true. Black people have big lips, white people can't dance. Some brothers will be in the club and white people are like, "What are those niggers doing in here?" They watchin' y'all dance. And they're like, "Look at these crazy muthafuckas." Y'all be stepping on people's feet and hitting one another. — Eddie Murphy This stereotype has become so accepted that even white comedians[2] lampoon the dancing ability of white people[3].
Athletic ability There is a belief that people of European descent are inferior to people of African descent when playing certain sports, particularly those involving running and jumping. The Copenhagen Institute of Sports Science conducted some tests comparing certain genetic characteristics of the natives of Kenya with Europeans [4], which did show some differences in the way blacks and whites store oxygen. See: White Men Can't Jump. White Men Cant Jump is a 1992 feature film starring Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes as basketball hustlers. ...
An experiment was conducted to demonstrate the perceptual confirmation of racial stereotypes about Black and White athletes. In a 2 x 2 design, target race (Black vs. White) and target athleticism (perceived athletic vs. unathletic) were manipulated by providing participants with a photograph of a male basketball player. Participants then listened to a college basketball game and were asked to evaluate the target's athletic abilities, individual performance, and contribution to his team' s performance. Multivariate analyses showed only a main effect for target race on the measures of ability and team performance. Whereas the Black targets were rated as exhibiting significantly more athletic ability and having played a better game, White targets were rated as exhibiting significantly more basketball intelligence and hustle. The results suggest that participants relied on a stereotype of Black and White athletes to guide their evaluations of the target's abilities and performance.[5]
Studies In a study on mutual and self-perceptions of racial images of white, black, and Japanese Americans whites were stereotyped as materialistic and pleasure loving. In general whites were stereotyped with positive traits and minority groups with negative traits.[6] In a study on the associative strength between two words subjects, regardless of prejudice score, responded reliably faster when positive attitudes (e.g., SMART) were paired with whites than when they were paired with blacks.[7]
