Other cultural stereotypes are similarly reviled on this side of the water by civilized members of the group being caricatured...and sometimes those caricatures are funny, too...funny depends largely on context, I think, but 99% of the time I agree with you. The other 1% is probably the Scottish equivalent of Chris Rock.
Fortunately there isn't too much Clan MacTablecloth here at XMTS!
...but I will think twice before going out in public in Scotface .
