I see a lot of questions posted making generalizations about entire countries full of people.
not sure why people would think that way
It hurts my head too. I asked about this a couple weeks ago.
Here's my theory. Humans evolved to generalize in order to avoid threats. We generally favor people within our own group and treat others outside it with less regard- sometimes even as a threat. Perhaps early humans benefited from this, because it helped keep their families or tribes safe. Now, we have a hard time overcoming how we're wired. I'd love to hear feedback on that concept.
Yep. You are walking among faux mental giants, dear. Don't let them step on your toe.
I don't think like that and I challenge generalisations like that when I see them.
Good! That shows that you are interested in "evolving!"
Interesting theory and it just may be true! In any case, it makes a lot of sense to me.
