Inspired by responses in this thread:
Most stereotypes about *anyone* exist because there's a grain of truth to them. There's a reason bigots don't stereotype Jews as all being gangstas or African-Americans as owning all the banks; it'd be too obviously untrue for even bigots to swallow.
You sayin' Jews can't be G's? We got a anti-Semite up in here.
Jewish gansta' with gang colour kippah and large menorah around their neck, no.
So with pre-1900 POD(s) and preferably minimal butterflies, your job is to by 20th century flip as many cultural/national/ethnic stereotypes on their head as you can. Jews are gangster (in the “modern” sense of the word, not 1930s sense), blacks manipulate the banks and secretly control the world, French are fridged, Spanish are quiet and mousy etc, etc, etc.

Good luck and feel free to go nuts :D
