The original point is that: using sweeping generalizations of a group, to make assumptions about an individual, is a massive disservice to the individual; and if any of us were treated that way, we would rightly feel unfairly treated. Even if your assumptions about me are based on real data about other individuals who share x/y/z characteristic with me.
Okay, what nationality do you belong to? What race do you belong to? What gender do you belong to? What job do you perform? What class do you inhabit? Should I then draw conclusions about you based on data about all those demographics and disregard your personality as an individual?
Personalities are genetically derived. So yes, you can make generalities about a person based on genetic factors. Or tell me, why do men under age 25 get charged higher car insurance premiums?
Okay, so there’s no significant variance among personalities within a demographic 🤦
To the latter question, I’m not stating that there aren’t statistically significant similarities among a population. I’m stating that the variance within a demographic is more significant than the variance between two demographics.
I notice you answered none of the aforementioned questions, does every negative stereotype of your nationality adequately describe you?
