Why do American people stereotype minority races by media portrayals of them?

These are the most common stereotypes encountered but it seems like in America ignorant people tend to think:
black= you're from the ghetto and ancestors arrived as slaves to the US
asian= you are literally from china with a heavy accent, and u have communist sympathies
mixed-race= you are a mexican immigrant or look mexican (unless one of your races is black then in that case you're regarded as light-skinned and black and not mixed-race)
