Many people take one bit of information, misconstrue it, and run with it. Many GCers have not done extensive reading and research but always manage to have an "opinion." This is the context in which GC usually operates so reading and partaking in dialogue is "at your own risk."

I challenge everyone in this thread to be open to what others are typing. Generalizations are not a bad thing when they are based on well-researched trends and patterns AS OPPOSED TO poor assumptions and negative stereotypes used to fuel a supremacist agenda.

The readers should attempt to be objective enough to receive these generalizations without thinking the author is trying to account for EVERY person in that (race or social class) group. The authors are also charged with a level of objectivity and the need to convey a message without sensationalizing the issue and demeaning the subject-group in order to prove a point. Of course, there will still be people who don't know what the hell they're typing about.

brains are sexy.
