Damn, it sounds like you're lumping a bunch of people into a one size fits all category, telling me everything I need to know about you. (I believe that 70% of people are liquid, so that should tell you everything you need to know about me)
Just got around to replying and I’ll use this as my reply to you and Cryo..
If an individual person (not a group of people in case that’s not obvious enough) makes statements like all the black people I know are criminals, all the Jewish people I’ve ever met only care about money, every woman I’ve ever dealt with is emotional, boomer doctors aren’t dead yet and haven’t learned anything since the 1970s
Then yes in general I kinda think that tells me all I need to know about that person, they are using blanket statements about groups of people which is pretty idiotic, they later said they were being hyperbolic, okay fine still a dumb statement however
