That's true. I guess I was thinking of it in context of forming an complicated opinion someone based on very little instead of in terms of a quick opinion formed for the same reason.

I guess sometimes it is helpful...if you're alone in a dark alleyway and someone suspicious heads towards you it can be helpful, yes.

I think bigotry is rooted in both fear and ego.
