Still potentially offensive coz 'Paki' often used as a slur so don't do it. But 'you are a shopowner' is hardly a slur.

eg I saw in US, Asian students complained of assumptions that they had superior maths skills. Better not to assume but racist?

That's the common dictionary definition. Also sexism. But is assuming a man likes sports sexist? So neutral, I think not.

Yes, of course. We do generalise & stereotype coz this often serves us well. Better not to.
