Selling copier paper, definitely not. Selling clothing, probably not. Selling cosmetics and hair care products, some of which are targeted specifically to very small populations, often broadly falling along racial lines, might make sense.
Of course, as with all stereotypes, reality often falls outside the nice pretty lines. An old ugly Jewish man with a strong Brooklyn accent, in Florida old-man clothes, smelling of baby powder and liver and onions but with a good rap could probably sell me a skateboard before an inarticulate 6'2" blond Swedish goddess without a brain in her head. Good sales is good sales, it often doesn't matter the audience or the product.
