“I think stereotyping is one of the most important tools we have for thinking about the world.”
LOL!
It is! Higher abstract thinking is all about stereotyping. Finding patterns, extrapolating from one example to many and back to few. Stuff like that. Of course it’s unacceptable to admit that you do it for humans with stuff like ethnicity and skin color, but of course we all do. If we truly couldn’t stereotype we would be much dumber animals than we already are.
Well, I am not sure you started a race riot, Lech. Just your garden variety street rumble and I am not sure it is about race, but oh, never mind. But you got people going…
